Overview

  • Product name
    Anti-pan Lamin antibody [X67, X167, X233]
  • Description
    Mouse monoclonal [X67, X167, X233] to pan Lamin
  • Host species
    Mouse
  • Specificity
    Lamins do not appear to be universally distributed among different cell and tissue types. ab20740 recognizes the karyoskeleton, i.e. the intermediate filament proteins of the nucleus. Reacts with Lamin isotypes of Mr 60-75 kDa (LA, LI, LII, LIII, B1, B2, C). Other cell/tissue types have not been tested.
  • Tested applications
    Suitable for: WB, ICC/IFmore details
  • Species reactivity
    Reacts with: Mouse, Cow, Human, Xenopus laevis, Kangaroo, Rainbow trout
  • Immunogen

    cell preparation: Nuclear pore complex-lamina fraction of Xenopus laevis (XLKE-A6 cells).

      ab20740 at a 1/50 dilution staining human U2 OS cells by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence. The cells were Paraformaldehyde fixed and incubated with the antibody for 16 hours. Bound antibody was detected using an Alexa- Fluor ® 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG.

      The antibody was found to stain equally well when used at a dilution of 1/250.

    Will this antibody cross-react with Lamin C? What samples were used to test this antibody in Western blotting?

    Thank you for your enquiry and patience. This product is a mixture of 3 clones [X67, X167, X233] and two of the clones, X67 and X167, do react with Lamin C. I'm not able to obtain information at this time on exactly what samples were used to test this ...
