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

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1-10ug/ml using ECL. An antibody raised against a GST-fusion has been shown to recognize ~31kD band in skin (3).
ELISA: 1:100K using 50-100ng CX31 control peptide/well.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Control Peptide:
C7853-61D Connexin 31, Mouse, Control Peptide (CX31, Gap Junction Beta 3 Protein, CXB-3).

Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O or PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
