Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
  4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

42/B-Spectrin II

Spectrins are central components of the cytoskeleton that form a scaffold below the plasma membrane. Spectrins contain two subunits, α and ß, which intertwine to form heterodimers that can self associate into elongated tetramers. α-spectin I and ß-spectrin I form heterodimers in red blood cells, while nonerythroid mammalian cells contain heterodimers of α-spectin I and II with ß-spectrin I to V. The structure of spectrins includes a succession of triple-helical repeats alongwith various domains, such as SH3 domain, EF hands, PH domains, and binding domains for ankyrin, actin, band 4.1, and calmodulin. α-spectrin II is a widely expressed non-erythroid α-spectrin that contains an SH3 domain, a calmodulin binding site, and two cleavage sites for proteases, such as calpains and caspase-3. ß-spectrin II is a widely expressed non-erythroid ß-spectrin that contains a C-terminal region that interacts with α-spectrins and a PH domain. α-spectrin II and ß-spectrin II, like many other spectrins, can form heterodimers that can self associate into tetramers, as well as interact with Band 4.1, F-actin, and other proteins near the plasma membrane. This scaffold of cytoskeletal and plasma membrane proteins is critical for the maintenance of cell structure.

This antibody is routinely tested by the Western blot analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
