Product Data

• Applications: ELISA
• Recommended Dilution: This antibody has been tested and validated in ELISA against C- Peptide. Other applications like immunohistochemistry (IHC), FACS or Western Blot may work as well. Optimal dilutions should be determined by the end user.
• Reactivities: Human
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Synthetic peptide H-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu-Gln-Val-Gly-Gln-Val-Glu- Leu- Gly-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ser-Leu-Gln-Pro-Leu-Ala-Leu- Glu-Gly-Ser- Leu-Gln-OH coupled to carrier protein.
• Formulation: Each vial contains enough antiserum for 500 RIA tubes. The powder should be rehydrated with 50ml RIA buffer. Upon reconstitution to 50ml total volume, the solution contains 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 0.05M NaCl, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% NaN3, and 0.1% Triton X-100. Store at 4°C. This should ensure antibody stability for approximately one month.

• Background: The connecting peptide, or C-peptide of human proinsulin, is a 31-amino-acid polypeptide that connects insulin's A-chain to its B-chain. In the context of diabetes or hypoglycemia, a measurement of C-peptide blood serum levels can be used to distinguish between different conditions with similar clinical features. In normal tissues, the antigen is found in pancreaticislet β-cells. C-peptide has been found to be a bioactive peptide in its own right, with effectson microvascular blood flow and tissue health. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with coupled to a carrier protein.
