Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Applications include western blot analysis (1-2 µg/ml). Jurkat T cells (ATCC TIB- 152) and 293 adenovirus-transformed human kidney cells (ATCC CRL-1573) are suggested as positive controls.

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.

B25-1

Caspase-4 (ICErelII, TX, ICH-2) is a 43 kDa cytosolic protein with homology to the ICE/Ced-3 family of cysteine proteases.  Functional similarity with ICE proteases include the ability of Caspase-4 to induce apoptosis when overexpressed.  Caspase-4 exhibits protease activity, cleaving both itself and the p30 ICE/caspase-1 proenzyme. However, unlike ICE/caspase-1, caspase-4 displays no IL-1β processing activity. Caspase-4 mRNA is expressed in most adult human tissues, suggesting a broad tissue distribution.  

The B25-1 antibody recognizes an ~43 kDa band corresponding to human Caspase-4 (TX). A recombinant human Caspase-4 protein fragment corresponding to amino acids 334-377 was used as immunogen.

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.
