Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab9386 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Abreviews Notes
Sandwich ELISA Use at an assay dependent concentration.

This antibody can be used in a sandwich ELISA for the determination of human IFN-a2b. It recognizes different epitopes than Anti-Interferon alpha 2b antibody [4E10] (HRP) (ab5258). We recommend using this antibody as a capture antibody and ab5258 as a detection antibody.
Inhibition Assay 1/400 - 1/1000.
WB 1/1000 - 1/5000. At 5 µg/ml, this ab inhibits 90% of IFN-a2b antiviral activity in vitro: The bioassay was performed using L41 cell line and mouse encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). Interferon was pre-incubated with the ab for 2 h at RT and then added to the cell monolayer. 24h later the cells were infected with EMCV and cultured for further 24h. Antiviral activity of IFN was evaluated using crystal-violet staining. PAbs to respective interferons and an irrelevant MAb of same isotype were used as controls.
Indirect ELISA 1/1000 - 1/10000.

    We would be interested in knowing how do you quantify your antibodies, especially for cat. no ab9386 and ab9388. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for contacting us. Concentrations of the antibodies ab9386 and ab9388 are determined spectrophotometrically by an adsorbance measurement at 280 nm. The absorbance value (A280) is divided by the extiction coefficient of mouse IgG - 1.35. I hop...

    I would like to know the quantity that will be provided in each tube lot after lot? I understand it’s 100 ul but would it be 200ug for each lot? Thanks in advance

    Thank you for contacting Abcam. For both ab9386 and ab9388, we currently sell them in 100ul aliquots, at a concentration of 2mg/ml. From what I can see, there are no plans to change this concentration for future lots of the antibody and since it is a m...

    I'm interested in using this antibody for an inhibition assay, but I wanted to know how many units of interferon alpha 2b can be blocked with the antibody.

    Thank you for your inquiry. Neutralizing activity of ab9386 has been tested in cell line-based bioassay where IFN has been applied in a concentration range between 4 IU/ml and 0.125 IU/ml. If you use lower concentrations of IFN (below 0.125 IU/ml...

    I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem with ab9386. The use of monoclonal antibodies in sandwich ELISA always requires a careful selection of a suitable pair of antibodies. Antibodies should be complementary, e.g. they should recognize different...

    Re. Mouse monoclonal (4E10) to Interferon alpha 2b & Mouse monoclonal (9D3) to human interferon alpha 2b I would like to use these two anitbodies together in ELISA. Can you send me a protocol please?

    To use monoclonal antibodies 9D3 and 4E10 in sandwich ELISA for the detection of huIFN-alpha-2b, 4E10 antibody should be labeled either with horse-radish peroxidase or biotin. Monoclonal antibody 9D3 should be used as a capture antibody (for plate coat...

    I would like to know if this antibody recognises a single epitope on IFN alpha 2b or more then one ? Many thanks in advance.

    Usually, each monoclonal antibody recognises only a single epitope on the antigen because each hybridoma clone is derived from a single B-cell. This antibody reacts well with both native and SDS-denaturated IFN-alpha 2b. Therefore, we suppose that the...
