ANTIBODIES
(anti-Human and others as indicated)
RDI Divison of researchd Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.
cat#RDI-COX2abRM-21 $438.00/0.5ml
-immunogen: syntheitc peptide form the C-terminus of rat COX-2
-reactivity: human, mouse, rat (others not tested)
-use: formalin fixed paraffin sections, immunoprecipitation, western blot
-staining: cytoplasmic and membrane
-positive control: lung and colon carcinomas
- Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
cat# RDI-COX2abm $438.00/vial 50ug
RDI-COX2abm-1 $750.00/vial
150ug
Background: Cyclooxygenase (COX) is also known as prostaglandin H synthase,
or PGH synthase. It catalyzes the conversion of arachidonate to prostaglandin
H2 (PGH2) the precursor of PGE2, PGF2A, PGD2, prostacyclin, and thromboxane
A2. Cox actually has two different enzymatic activities:a cycloxygenase which
mediates the formation of PGG2 from oxygen and arachidonate and a hydroperoxidase
which catalyzes a reduction of PGG2 yielding PGH2. Two Cox genes, Cox-1 and
Cox-2 have been isolated in several species. A 4kb mRNAencodes the 604 amino
acid COX-2 protein. The two human COX isoenzymes are 61% identical in amino
acid composition with the active sites being highly conserved. Cox-2 mRNA
and protein levels have ben shown to be induced by serum, lipopolysaccharides,
growth factors, human chorionic gonadotropin, and phorbol esters in various
human and other animal cell types. Recently it has been shown that IL-1alpha
induces the mRNA expression as well as the amount of functional COX-2 protein
in human endothelial cells. The sustained increase of COX-2 expression is
apparently due (at least in part) to IL-1A increasing the stability of COX-2
mRNA. This type of regulatory mechanism may play an important role in chronic
inflammatory conditions.

Cat# RDI-COX2CabrX $438.00/100ul
Packaging: 100 µL antiserum in PBS with 0.1% gelatin. Protein Concentration: Approximately 9 mg/mL.
Immunogen: synthetic peptide corresponding to a distinct C-terminal region of COX-2
Reactivity: It does not cross-react with COX-1
Uses: -Immunohistochemistry : starting 1:100- (blocking peptide cat#RDI-COX2CX-CP $188.00)
-Western blots. A dilution of 1/1000 for Western blots when using alkaline phosphatase (higher dilution may be
needed with more sensitive developing techniques) should detect COX-2 from most mammalian species, including ovine.
Storage: Stable several weeks at 4 ° C. several months at -20 ° C. and indefinitely at 80 ° C. Repeated freezing and thawing may result in loss of antibody activity.
For Research Use Only
Native ovine COX-2 cat#RDI-OVCOX2-AG $281.00/10ug in 0.1ml Tris buffer with 0.01% Tween 20 and 30um DDC. -reccomend use 1ug/lane
Anti-COX-2(C-terminus), Polyclonal: This antibody was generated against a synthetic peptide corresponding to a distinct C-terminal region of murine COX-2. It specifically reacts with COX-2 from most species thus far examined. It does not cross-react with COX-1. A dilution of 1/100 for Western blots or 1/100,000 for ELISA assays will yield a positive result with native ovine or recombinant human COX2
cat# RDI-COX1abm Price: $312.00/vial $281.00/vial
3 or more
Isotype: Mouse IgG2b
Specificity: Reacts with PGH synthase from sheep, bovine,guinea pig, rabbit
and human. Does not react with rat, mouse or dog PGH synthase.
Uses: Immunoassay or immunohistochemicl localization of PGH synthase.
Contents: 1 ml of culture medium (per vial) from the cyo-5 hybridoma cell
line containing 0.1% sodium azide.
