What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Cystatin-B also known as STEFIN-B is a protease inhibitor with a molecular mass of approximately 11 kilodaltons. It belongs to the family of cystatins which are expressed widely in human tissues with notable presence in the brain liver and kidneys. Cystatin-B acts by inhibiting cysteine proteases preventing them from degrading proteins indiscriminately. The inhibition is important for maintaining cellular protein balance and integrity.
Biological function summary

Cysteine protease inhibition by Cystatin-B protects cells from uncontrolled proteolysis which can lead to tissue damage. This protein plays an important role in the regulation of various cellular processes including apoptosis phagocytosis and the response to oxidative stress. It does not form part of a larger complex but interacts directly with its target proteases to exert its inhibitory effects.

Pathways

Cystatin-B influences proteolytic pathways by modulating the activity of cysteine proteases such as cathepsins. By inhibiting these enzymes Cystatin-B participates in the regulation of the lysosomal degradation pathway and apoptotic pathways which are important for cellular turnover and programmed cell death. Cathepsins particularly cathepsin B and L are related proteins that are significantly modulated through their interaction with Cystatin-B.

Mutations or dysregulation of Cystatin-B are associated with progressive myoclonus epilepsy and certain neurodegenerative diseases. The lack of functional Cystatin-B leads to excessive activity of proteases like cathepsin B resulting in increased proteolysis and neuronal damage. In some cases this can also connect to disorders involving oxidative stress exacerbating the detrimental cycle of cellular injury.
