BD-5 Antibody

Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Sandwich ELISA: To detect hBD-5 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 ul/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with ProSci’s Biotinylated Anti-Human BD-5 as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hBD-5.
  Western Blot
  To detect hBD-5 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 ug/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hBD-5 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

• Background: Defensins (alpha and beta) are cationic peptides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that comprise an important arm of the innate immune system. The alpha-defensins are distinguished from thebeta-defensins by the pairing of their three disulfide bonds. To date, six humanbeta-defensins have been identified; BD-1, BD-2, BD-3, BD-4, BD-5 and BD-6. beta-defensins are expressed on some leukocytes and at epithelial surfaces. In addition to their direct antimicrobial activities, they can act as chemoattractants towards immature dendritic cells and memory T cells. The beta-defensin proteins are expressed as the C-terminal portion of precursors, and are released by proteolytic cleavage of a signal sequence and, in some cases, a propeptide sequence. beta-defensins contain a six-cysteine motif that forms three intra-molecular disulfide bonds. Recombinant Human BD-5 is a 5.8 kDa protein containing 51 amino acid residues
