Anti-BAGE2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit against the BAGE2 target, this polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied unconjugated in a 100 µl vial, calibrated for western blot detection of the human BAGE2 protein. BAGE2 belongs to the B melanoma antigen family of cancer-testis antigens, a class of tumor-associated markers whose expression is largely restricted to neoplastic tissue and to immune-privileged sites such as the testis, which makes them relevant targets in melanoma and other solid tumor research.

The polyclonal format broadens epitope coverage on the BAGE2 protein, which can be advantageous when probing heterogeneous tumor lysates or screening across panels of cancer cell lines. Because the reagent is unconjugated, researchers can pair it with HRP- or fluorophore-labelled secondary antibodies of their choice for chemiluminescent or fluorescent western blot imaging. Aliquot the preparation upon receipt to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and store refrigerated between experiments to preserve binding activity across repeated blots.
