Notes
ab237975 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Elastin antibody [10B8] ab77804.
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.
Compatibility
This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

- Activity summary
Elastin also known as elastin protein is an essential component of the extracellular matrix known for imparting elasticity and resilience to tissues. With a molecular mass of approximately 60-70 kDa some scientists may also refer to it as elastin et. Elastin is expressed in elastic tissues such as the skin lungs and blood vessels. These tissues require the elastic properties provided by elastin. Additionally elastin forms the core of elastic fibers surrounded by a sheath of microfibrils.
- Biological function summary
Elastin provides mechanical support and elasticity to tissues. It does so by being part of elastic fibers playing an important role in many connective tissue structures. The unique ability to stretch and return to its original shape allows tissues to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin is not part of larger protein complexes but interacts with other matrix proteins such as fibrillin to form a fibrous network required for the structural integrity of elastic tissues.
- Pathways
Elastin plays an integral role in the extracellular matrix remodeling pathway which is important for maintaining tissue structure and function. It also participates in the TGF-beta signaling pathway where elastin interacts indirectly with proteins such as fibrillin-1 and fibulin. These interactions influence cellular processes like proliferation and differentiation highlighting elastin's involvement in both maintaining tissue elasticity and cell signaling.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Elastin is linked to pathologies like Williams-Beuren syndrome and cutis laxa. Williams-Beuren syndrome associated with elastin deletions leads to cardiovascular issues while cutis laxa results in reduced elasticity of the skin due to elastin mutations. In these conditions elastin interacts with proteins such as fibrillin and fibulin contributing to the observed clinical manifestations. Understanding these interactions helps in diagnosing and developing therapeutic approaches for such disorders.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Elastin antibody [10B8] - BSA and Azide free (ab237975)
IHC image of Anti-Elastin antibody [10B8] ab77804 staining in human skin formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with Anti-Elastin antibody [10B8] ab77804 1μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
This image was produced using the same antibody clone but in a different formulation; PBS and sodium azide (Anti-Elastin antibody [10B8] ab77804).
