Clone Name: HL22
Light Chain: Kappa
Product Description: Iba1 antibody detects Iba1, a protein widely used by neuroscientists as a microglial marker and to gauge microglial activation. It is also expressed in macrophages. Discrimination between these two cell populations can be achieved via double staining with TMEM119 antibody (GTX134087), another useful microglia-specific marker, by identifying brain-residing microglia as Iba1+/TMEM119+ while CNS-infiltrating macrophages are Iba1+/TMEM119-.
Application Note: WB: 1:500-1:3000. IHC-P: 1:100-1:1000. IHC-Fr: 1:100-1:1000. *Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher.Not tested in other applications.
Calculated MW: 17

Form: Liquid
Buffer (with preservative): PBS, no preservative.
Concentration: 1 mg/ml (Please refer to the vial label for the specific concentration.)
Background: This gene encodes a protein that binds actin and calcium. This gene is induced by cytokines and interferon and may promote macrophage activation and growth of vascular smooth muscle cells and T-lymphocytes. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with systemic sclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length and coding nature of some of these variants is not certain. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
