"TC Supernatant" vs. "Purified"

TC Supernatant
Hybridoma tissue-culture supernatant (5mL) generally containing 10-50 ug/mL monoclonal antibody (clone-dependent) can be a very economical choice. Supernatant is suitable for most applications including Western Blot, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry etc. For applications requiring higher antibody concentration or purity (such as immunoprecipitation, microinjection, or conjugation) it is recommended that you purchase the purified form of the antibody (supplied at 1mg/mL).

Purified mAbs
Produced by in vitro bioreactor culture of hybridoma lines followed by Protein A affinity chromatography. Purified mAbs are >90% specific antibody at 1mg/mL.

Applications:

ICC IHC WB

Target Description:

ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 8 or Kir6.1 is encoded by the gene Kcnj8. Kir6.1 is an integral membrane protein which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins. In this manner, Kir6.1 plays a role in modifying Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Kir6.1 is expressed in many tissues including in pancreatic islets, brain, skeletal muscle and heart and found distributed in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Defects in this gene may be a cause of J-wave syndromes and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and Cantu Syndrome.

Immunogen:

Fusion protein amino acids 306-424 (cytoplasmic C-terminus) of rat Kir6.1 (also known as ATPsensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 8, Potassium channel inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 8, uKATP-1 and Kcnj8, accession number Q63664)
Mouse: 99% identity (118/119 amino acids identical)
Human: 96% identity (115/119 amino acids identical)
50% identity with Kir6.2

Cross Reactivity:

Does not cross-react with Kir6.2
