  • General notes

    ab220213 is the carrier-free version of ab197896.

    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.

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-S100A4 antibody [EPR14639(2)] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A]) staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab197896 was shown to bind specifically to S100A4. A band was observed at 11 kDa in wild-type HeLa and A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in S100A4 knockout HeLa cell line ab265709 (knockout cell lysate ab257046) and S100A4 knockout A549 cell line ab261865 (knockout cell lysate ab261674). To generate this image, wild-type and S100A4 knockout HeLa and S100A4 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.
