Target/Specificity | This BPI antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 293-324 amino acids from the Central region of human BPI. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:50~100 FC~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | BPI Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | BPI |
---|---|
Function | The cytotoxic action of BPI is limited to many species of Gram-negative bacteria; this specificity may be explained by a strong affinity of the very basic N-terminal half for the negatively charged lipopolysaccharides that are unique to the Gram-negative bacterial outer envelope. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Cytoplasmic granule membrane Note=Membrane-associated in polymorphonuclear Leukocytes (PMN) granules. |
Tissue Location | Restricted to cells of the myeloid series. |
