Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: 1/5000 - 1/25000 (sandwich ELISA tested against 1ug E.coli beta galactosidase.
IP: 1/500 - 1/5000.
WB: 1/5000 - 1/25000. Detects a band of approximately 464 kDa under non-reducing conditions (tetramer) and of approximately 116 kDa band under reducing conditions.
IHC-FoFr: Use at an assay dependent dilution (PMID 18403128).


This antibody shows inconsistent results between batches in ICC/IF, IF, IHC-P, IHC-Fr and IHC-FoFr. We have received several good Abreviews on these applications, however, we are unable to guarantee positive results.

If the antibody is used for IHC, please try fixing with methanol and block with gelatine instead with BSA or NGS. After each antibody incubation, please wash 5x with TBS instead of PBS.

We would recommend ab4761 or ab12081 as alternatives.

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

1.0µg of E.coli in a standard sandwich ELISA. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against purified and partially purified E.coli beta-galactosidase.

Relevance 

Beta galactosidase is coded by a gene (lac z) in the lac operon of Escherichia coli. It is a metalloenzyme that splits lactose into glucose and galactose. It hydrolyzes terminal, non-reducing beta-D-galactose residues in beta-D-galactosides.
Activation by cations seems to be substrate dependent. K+, Na+, NH4+, Rb+, Cs+ and Mn++ all activate enzyme activity based upon the substrate used.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - beta Galactosidase antibody (ab616)

ab616 at 1/400 staining mouse Rosa-Mesenchymal stem cells by ICC/IF.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were collected from the bone marrow of Rosa mice for b-galactosidase staining. Rosa mice are a line of transgenic mice expressing the LacZ gene controlled by a promoter, which directs expression to essentially all tissues (Rosa 26, Jackson Laboratories). The cells were 2% paraformaldehyde ffixed for 15 minutes and then permealized with Triton-X100 (0.1%) for 10 minutes and then incubated with ab616 overnight at 4°C.   The image demonstrates b-galactosidase expressing MSC (green-cytoplasmic localization) and DAPI (blue-nuclear counter stain).
