MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.
Laminin is a major component of basement membranes and stimulates neurite outgrowth, promotes cell attachment, chemotaxis and cell differentation. Promotes the adhesion and growth of human carcinoma and sarcoma cells, human retinoblastoma cells, liver cells, mouse neuroblastoma cells, mouse embryonal carcinoma cells, and seems to be involved in the development of embryonal tissue.
Applications
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry, Radioimmunoassay, FLISA and Immunofluorescence. Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): ≥1:500. Use Immunoperoxidase technique on fixed, paraffin-embedded mouse tissues (skin, liver) FLISA: ≥1:200 (OD ≥ 500) Immunofluorescence: ≥1:80 (Frozen mouse skin and liver tissues). Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
