anti-XAF-1 Antibody

XAF-1

XAF 1 , XIAP , HSXIAPAF1 , HSXIAPAF 1 , BIRC4 , BIRC 4

XAF-1 binds to XIAP, an inhibitor of caspases-3, -7, -9 and triggers its relocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. Overexpression of XAF-1 results in the neutralization of XIAP’s ability to inhibit cell death. XAF-1is normally expressed in all adult and fetal tissues but was found to be present in very low levels in a variety of cancer cell lines. In contrast, XIAP levels have been shown to be high in a majority of cell lines.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human

Synthetic peptide surrounding a.a. 306 of human XAF-1

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) Protein A affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. Jurkat cell lysate (Cat.# 2401-100) can be used as the positive control. The antibody recognizes 34 kDa XAF-1 from samples of human origins. Reactivity to other species has not been tested.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
