Target: Alginate
Conjugate: Unconjugated
Product Type: Monoclonal
Clone Number: 4B10-1C5
Immunogen: Sodium Alginate conjugated to KLH
Purification: Protein G Purified
Storage Buffer: PBS pH7.4, 50% glycerol, 0.1% sodium azide *Storage buffer may change when conjugated
Concentration: 1 mg/ml
Specificity: Binds selectively to a BSA-conjugated alginate, but not to unconjugated BSA.
Scientific Background: Sodium alginate is used in biological experiments for the immobilization of cells and encapsulation due to its biocompatibility and simple gelation with divalent cations such as Ca2+. Studies suggest that preparation of alginate microspheres will sustain protein delivery within tissue scaffolds (1), as well as in many other cell types (2).
