General description

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody gernerated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with NS1 mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the ~95 kDa the β-subunit of insulin receptor.
Recognizes the ~95 kDa the β-subunit of insulin receptor in IM9 cells, placenta, and fetal liver tissue.
This Anti-Insulin Receptor (β-Subunit) Mouse mAb (CT-3) is validated for use in Frozen Sections, Immunoblotting, IP, Paraffin Sections for the detection of Insulin Receptor (β-Subunit).

Immunogen

Human
a recombinant protein consisting of the C-terminal 100 amino acids of the β-subunit of human insulin receptor fused to GST

Application



Frozen Sections (1:50-1:100)

Immunoblotting (1:200-1:400)

Immunoprecipitation (not recommended)

Paraffin Sections (1:50-1:100, pressure cooker pre-treatment required)

Packaging

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

In 10 mM PBS, 0.2% BSA, pH 7.4.

Preparation Note

Following initial use, aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Centrifuge the contents of the vial containing the antibody before use to remove any solution that may have accumulated around or under the cap of the vial during shipment or storage.

Analysis Note

Positive Control
IM-9 lymphocyte cells or placenta or liver tissue
