Anti-Ganglioside GM1 antibody (ab23943)

The reason that species is not mentioned on the datasheet is because the target is species independent. The target is Ganglioside GM1, a molecule composed of a glycosphingolipid (ceramide and oligosaccharide) with sialic acids linked on the sugar chain. The molecular formula of this lipid is C77H139N3O31.

Therefore, as long as your samples have this molecule present, this antibody will be suitable.

Thank you for your enquiry.

I can confirm that ab23943 antibody is sold as whole antiserumt. Unpurified antibodies, such as those sold as whole antiserum, ascites or tissue culture supernatant will not have a concentration stated on the datasheet. Antibody concentration is usually determined by protein assay, and serum / ascites / tissue culture supernatant will contain a lot of other proteins, which means the antibody quantification would not be accurate.

I can confirm that for whole antiserum, concentration of antibody is known to very between 1 - 10 mg/ml. Please note this conc is not the conc of specificIgG present in soluiton.

I am sorry we are not able to provide an exact concentration on this occasion, but hope this information will be helpful to you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your enquiry. I can confirm these are different antibodies, which have been tested in different applications. Tested applications covered by our guarnatee are listed on teh online datasheets: ab23943  Anti-Ganglioside GM1 antibody is tested ICC-IF, not tested WB ab31119  Anti-Ganglioside GM1 antibody  is tested in WB but not ICC-IF   All tested application information is stated on our datasheets, and these are updated as soon as any new information is brought to our attention. In this case, as one antibody is tested in ICC-IF and the other in WB, I am sorry we would regrettably not be able to guarantee either of these antibodies for both applications. However, if you would like to test one of these  antibody in the untested application, please contact me again replying to this message prior to the purchase as you would be eligible for our testing discount program. I would be pleased to send further information. I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further advice or information in this regard.  

Thank you for your enquiry. I found your enquiry most interesting. Whilst the literature that you detail provides evidence that NK cells in the mouse liver can be detected using an anti-asialo GM1 antibody the two antibodies that you detail are yet to be tested using immunohistochemistry as an application. Therefore we could not guarantee them to work. With regards to your second question unfortunately we do not have an antibody that distinguishes between fibrin (clotted blood) and fibrinogen. The sole Fibrin monoclonal antibody in our catalogue also detects Fibrinogen. I am sorry that I cannot be of more assistance on this occasion.
