PeproTech Thrombopoietin Polyclonal Antibody, Biotin, PeproTech®, Invitrogen™

Description

AA Sequence of recombinant protein: SPAPPACDLR VLSKLLRDSH VLHSRLSQCP EVHPLPTPVL LPAVDFSLGE WKTQMEETKA QDILGAVTLL LEGVMAARGQ LGPTCLSSLL GQLSGQVRLL LGALQSLLGT QLPPQGRTTA HKDPNAIFLS FQHLLRGKVR FLMLVGGSTL CVRRAPPTTA VPSRTSLVLT LNEL. Preparation: Produced from sera of goats immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human TPO. Anti-Human TPO-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated. Sandwich ELISA: To detect hTPO by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human TPO (500-P49G) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant hTPO. Western Blot: To detect hTPO by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant hTPO is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. 500-P49GBT-1MG will be provided as 2 x 500 μg

Thrombopoietin (TPO, THPO, MPL ligand, megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor) is responsible for the generation of platelets through its action on hematopoietic cells committed to the megakaryocyte lineage. Binding of thrombopoietin to its receptor, MPL (CD110), initiates a signaling cascade via JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways that leads to the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes and, μgtimately, to the production of platelets (thrombopoiesis). Thrombopoietin is constitutively produced by the liver and has a predicted molecular weight of 38 kDa.
