"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:

TMEM119, is a plasma membrane protein first identified because of its role in the differentiation of osteoblasts (Kanamoto et al., 2009). However TMEM119 is also known to be a specific marker of microglia, the tissue-resident macrophages of brain and spinal cord (Bennett et al., 2016). Unlike other microglia markers, TMEM119 expression readily distinguishes resident microglia from blood-derived macrophages, making it a highly specific microglia marker. In healthy brain microglia are the resident immune cells where they act to neutralize pathogens, clear dead and dying cells, and prune synaptic connections. However, in neurodegenerative disease microglia can actually promote neuronal degeneration through reduced phagocytic clearance and increased pro-inflammatory effects. Our anti-TMEM119 antibody is a highly specific microglial marker for mouse TMEM119 and works by western blot and immunocytochemistry.
