RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl  offers a wide line of  antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (flow cytometry, neutralization, blotting, histochemistry, 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. All products are for in vitro research use only-not for use in or on humans or animals-not for use in diagnostics.

PRESENTATION: Each monoclonal is delivered in a sealed vial at a concentration of not less than 200µg/2ml in phosphate buffered saline containing 10mM sodium azide and 1mg/ml of bovine serum albumin. We recommend that each laboratory determine an optimum working titre for use in its particular application.

STORAGE: Purified monoclonal antibodies are generally stable for long periods at 4oC. However repeated warming to room temperature and re-cooling may result in a loss of activity and hence effective working titre. It is recommended that monoclonal antibodies are aliquotted upon receipt and then stored at -200C. After thawing they should then be used as a stock solution for up to 30 days. Dilute working solutions are best prepared on the day of use.

For research use only. Not supplied for use in human diagnostic or therapeutic procedures

Antibodies to N-CAM (CD56)

Expression of neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM) provides neurons with a means of attaching to and interacting with other cells and the extracellular matrix. Alternative splicing of N-CAM mRNA results in several N-CAM isoforms. The three major isoforms are referred to as 180 kD, 140 kD, and 120 kD. Individual isoforms undergo various post-translational modifications, including the addition of polysialic acid residues to embryonic forms. The highly polysialylated forms of N-CAM present in embryos and neonates are lost during maturation and replaced by less-polysialic  acid-laden mature forms of N-CAM. The functional significance of  alternative forms of N-CAM remain to be fully elucidated. RDI offers N-CAM antibodies recognizing the major isoforms of adult and embryonic N-CAM (N-CAM 13), and embryonic N-CAM (12F8).

Adult and Embryonic Pan N-CAM (mouse/rat)

cat #RDI-NCAM13abm      $469.00/vial 100ug

Clone: N-CAM13

Isotype: Mouse IgG2a

Immunogen: Mouse brain membrane fractions.

Format: Purified

Size: 0.1mg

-N-CAM 13 recognized the three major isoforms of N-CAM, referred to as 120 kD, 140 kD, and 180 kD. It recognized an extracellular epitope. N-CAM 13 has been shown to react with mouse and rat. It does not cross-react with chicken. Applications include western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry of frozen sections and of tissue-cultured neurons.

Rat anti-N CAM (Adult and Embryonic N-CAM (140 and 180 kD Epitopes)

cat# RDI-CD56-12F11ab    $469.00/vial

Clone: 12F11

Isotype: Rat IgG2a

Format: Purified

Size: 0.1 mg

Clone 12F11 recognizes the 140 and 180 kD isoforms of N-CAM, but not the 120 kD form. 12F11 recognizes an intra-cellular epitope. 12F11 has been shown to react with human,rat,mouse, and chick  neuronal N-CAM. Applications include western blot analysis, and  immunohistochemistry of frozen tissue sections for light and electron microscopy, and of tissue-cultured neurons. Immunogen: Mouse brain membrane fractions.

Rat anti-Embryonic N-CAM

cat #RDI-CD56-12F8     $469.00/100ug vial

Clone: 12F8

Isotipe: Rat IgM

Format: Purified

Size: 0.1 mg

Clone 12F8 reacts with the polysialic acid on N-CAM. The epitope recognized is a neuraminidase-sensitive carbohydrate. Additionally, it may cross-react with carbohydrate epitopes that may be expressed in the embryonic than in the adult brain. As such, 12F8 is useful for distinguishing embryonic forms of N-CAM from adult forms which have decreased polysialic acid expression. 12F8 will also react with some non-neuronal cells expressing polysialylated N-CAM, however, it does not appear to recognize mouse NK cells. 12F8 recognized all species tested, from fish through human. Published references include human, rat, mouse, and avian. Applications include western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry of  frozen tissue sections.

Immunogen: Mouse brain membrane fractions.
