General description

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with NS-1 mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the B chain of uPA.
Recognizes uPA/PAI complexes in dexamethasone-treated HT-1080 cells and carcinoma tissue. Sold under license of U.S. Patent 5,422,245.

Immunogen

Human
the B chain of human urokinase plasminogen activator

Application

Immunoblotting (2.5 µg/ml, see application references)

Immunoprecipitation (1 µg, see application references)

Physical form

Lyophilized from 20 mM NH₄HCO₃, 100 µg BSA.

Preparation Note

We recommend resuspending the lyophilized antibody with sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, or sterile 20 mM Tris-saline (20 mM Tris containing 0.15 M NaCl), pH 7.4, to yield a final concentration of 100 µg/ml. Lyophilized antibodies should be resuspended at 4°C with occasional gentle mixing for at least 2 h. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Positive Control
Concentrated conditioned medium from dexamethasone-treated HT-1080 cells

uPA (Ab-3) will recognize uPA in complex with PAI 1. For optimal results in immunoblotting, incubate HT 1080 cells in serum free media with 1 µM dexamethasone for 2 h and concentrate 10-20X. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
