Notes

ab283342 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16589] - Mouse IgG1 (Chimeric) ab283319.

This mouse monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16589] ab178847). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.

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.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

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.

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

Iba1 also known as Allograft Inflammatory Factor 1 (AIF-1) is a 17 kDa protein notable for its involvement in immune responses. It is expressed mainly in microglia and macrophages key components of the central nervous system's immune system. Researchers often use Iba1 in Western blots and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to study microglial activation. The protein's expression is a strong marker of microglial activation making it a focal point in neuroinflammation studies. Anti-Iba1 antibodies have gained popularity for their effectiveness in identifying microglia in brain tissue sections through Iba1 staining techniques.

Biological function summary

Iba1 modulates actin bundling facilitating changes in microglial morphology and motility. It does not form part of a multiprotein complex but is significantly involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. This protein's expression increases during brain injury indicating its role in response to neural trauma. Iba1 has calcium-binding properties which suggest that it might interact with proteins involved in calcium signaling pathways.

Pathways

Calcium signaling and actin cytoskeletal rearrangement are significant biological processes that involve Iba1. Within these pathways Iba1 interacts closely with other actin-binding proteins that affect microglial movement and morphology. Such interactions illustrate how Iba1 helps microglia navigate and respond to changes within the brain environment.

Associated diseases and disorders

Iba1 is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In these conditions elevated Iba1 levels mark increased microglial activity which correlates with disease progression. Connections with proteins such as amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's disease suggest its role in mediating inflammatory responses and linking inflammation to disease pathology.
