		Technical Data
H6276	HNE (4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal)

Description:
HNE is a major product of endogenous lipid peroxidation. The w-6-family (linoleic and arachidonic acids) of polyunsaturated fatty acids may produce HNE as a result of free radical attack. HNE is a highly reactive compound and it can react with several functional groups on biological material, particularly sulfydryl groups to form thioester adduct and then hemiacetals. HNE may also react with histidine and lysine residues of proteins to form stable Michael addition-type of adducts. HNE-modified proteins may display an altered biological functions. Antibodies to HNE will help to visualize the HNE-adducts.

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

Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: 1:1000-1:10,000
Western Blot: 1:500-1:1000
Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-1:1000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
