General notes
Ab226491 is the carrier-free version of ab188229. This format is designed for use in antibody labeling, including fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, enzymes.
Our carrier-free formats are supplied in a buffer free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
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.
ab226491 is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm.
Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.
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 production
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.
Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.
We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.
In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.
We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.
Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.
Please check that this product meets your needs before purchasing.

Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab226491 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Application | Abreviews | Notes |
---|---|---|
WB | Use at an assay dependent concentration. Detects a band of approximately 23 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 25 kDa). | |
IHC-P | Use at an assay dependent concentration. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol. This antibody is not suitable for human species in IHC application. |
|
IHC-Fr | Use at an assay dependent concentration. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with 10 mM sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 + 0.05% Tween-20 before commencing with IHC staining protocol. Under our IHC-Fr experimental conditions this antibody could not detect Prolactin on rat pituitary gland sample.
|
|
IP | Use at an assay dependent concentration. |

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-Prolactin/PRL antibody [EPR18018-31] - BSA and Azide free (ab226491)
Immunohistochemical analysis of 4% PFA-fixed, 0.2% Triton X-100 permeabilized mouse pituitary tissue labeling Prolactin/PRL with ab188229 at 1/1000 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) at 1/1000 dilution (green). Cytoplasmic staining in lactotrophic cells of anterior pituitary gland (PMID: 16468032). The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue).
Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) at 1/1000 dilution.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab188229).

Prolactin/PRL was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of mouse pituitary tissue lysate with ab188229 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab188229 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10000 dilution.
Lane 1: Mouse pituitary tissue lysate 10 µg (Input).
Lane 2: ab188229 IP in mouse pituitary tissue lysate.
Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab188229 in mouse pituitary tissue lysate.
Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.
Exposure time: 1 second.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab188229).
