General notes
ab239950 is the carrier-free version of ab109193.
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.
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.

Function
Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin, this prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in RBP4 are a cause of retinol-binding protein deficiency (RBP deficiency) [MIM:180250]. This condition causes night vision problems. It produces a typical 'fundus xerophthalmicus', featuring a progressed atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family. -

Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence staining of 100% methanol fixed; 0.1% triton X 100 permeabilized HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma) cells with purified ab109193 at dilution of 1/100. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488; goat anti-rabbit IgG (ab150077) at a dilution of 1/1000. Nucleus was counter-stained with DAPI (blue). ab7291, a mouse anti-tubulin antibody (1/1000) was used to stain tubulin along with ab150120 (AlexaFluor®594 goat anti-mouse secondary, 1/1000) shown in the top right hand panel. The negative controls are shown in the bottom middle and right hand panels- for negative control 1 rabbit primary antibody and anti-mouse secondary antibody (ab150120) was used. For negative control 2 mouse primary antibody (ab7291) and anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab150077) was used.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab109193).
