		Technical Data
A1372-32D	AIFM1 (Programmed Cell Death Protein 8, Apoptosis-inducing Factor 1, Mitochondrial, AIF, PDCD8)

Description:
Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is a phylogenetically ancient mitochondrial intermembrane flavoprotein. AIF induces caspase-independent peripheral chromatin condensation and large-scale DNA fragmentation when added to purified nuclei. Upon apoptosis induction AIF translocates to the cytosol and the nucleus.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 0.5ug/ml
Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 0.25-1ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Human, mouse, rat heart lysate, or K562 cell lysate

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
