Alpha-2 antiplasmin (1 ug) is readily detected using this antibody (1:1000) by Western blot around 70 kDa. Here, experimental protease treatments are tested.

Company:

Santa Cruz Biotechnology

Product Name:

Alpha-2 Antiplasmin antibody (SJ-19)

Catalog Number:

sc-73659

Image

Our experimental goal was to assess the cleavage of alpha-2 antiplasmin protein by our protease of interest. This antibody was successfully used to measure cleavage by Western blot.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western blotting

Sample

Human alpha-2 antiplasmin protein purified from human plasma (Abcam, catalog #ab77936)

Primary Incubation

Alpha-2 antiplasmin antibody supplied by Santa Cruz Biotech (catalog #sc-73659). Antibody was diluted 1:1000 in blocking agent and incubated overnight at 4°C.

Blocking Agent

5% nonfat milk in Tris-buffered Saline with Tween (TBST), incubated 30 minutes at room temperature.

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rat IgG-HRP supplied by Sigma-Aldrich (catalog #A9037). Antibody was diluted 1:2000 in blocking agent and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature.

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Amersham, #RPN2232) used following manufacturer instructions.

Results Summary

No background or non-specific bands were detected and signal intensity was generally strong. We have not used this antibody with more complex samples.

Additional Notes

1 ug protein can generally be detected on film using exposures of less than 1 minute. Band size is around 70 kDa. Since this product is a monoclonal antibody, it may not detect all cleavage fragments when performing degradation studies.
