Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunoprecipitation and Immunofluorescence. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Indirect immunofluorescence: Shows a nuclear staining pattern.

Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 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.
