Technical Data
D3875-01
DNA
Description:
This clone is a reliable positive control in assays for detection of DNA antibodies, especially for the detection of autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases. It can also be used for sensitive detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue) and Dot blot on nitrocellulose membrane (after baking at 70°C).

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry: 1:10 with PBS, pH 7.4; Incubation Time 1hr at RT.

Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and 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.
