Mouse Anti-Proteinase 3 (Proteinase-3, PR3, PR-3, PRTN3, ACPA, Azurophil Granule Protein 7, AGP7, cANCA, c-ANCA Antigen, EC 3.4.21.76, Leukocyte Proteinase 3, MBT, Myeloblastin, MBN, Neutrophil Proteinase 4, NP4, NP-4, p29, Wegener Autoantigen) (FITC)
PRTN3 is a serine protease enzyme expressed mainly in neutrophil granulocytes. Its exact role in the function of the neutrophil is unknown but in human neutrophils proteinase 3 contributes to the proteolytic generation of antimicrobial peptides. It is also the epitope of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) of the cANCA (cytoplasmic subtype) class, a type of antibody frequently found in the disease Wegener's granulomatosis.
Applications
Suitable for use in FLISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C.
