"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.

Target Description:

SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains protein 2, or shank 2 is a member of the shank family. Shank 2 binding domains include a SH3 domain, a proline rich domain, and a PDZ domain. Shank 2 is found in kidney, liver tissue, and epithelial cells. In brain, Shank 2 is expressed at the apical cell membrane, cytoplasm, synapse, postsynaptic density, growth cone, and dendritic spine. Some isoforms of shank 2 are expressed during development, while others are expressed in mature tissue. Shank 2 acts as a scaffold protein anchoring and connecting membrane bound receptors, including NMDA and glutamate receptors and other proteins to the cytoskeleton in neurons to enable cell signaling. In this manner, Shank 2 may play a role in synapse formation and dendritic spine maturation. Mutations in the Shank 2 gene have been associated with autism spectrm disorder and blount disease.
