Anti-CD107a Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified by epitope-specific immunogen chromatography, this unconjugated polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is directed against CD107a (also known as LAMP-1), detecting endogenous levels of the protein in human and rat samples. The immunogen is a synthetic peptide derived from the internal region of human CD107a, and the antibody is supplied as a 50 µl liquid formulation at 1 mg/mL in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide. Validated applications cover Western blotting (WB) and ELISA, making the reagent suitable for researchers studying lysosomal membrane biology, autophagy and cell-surface trafficking in compatible cell and tissue models. As a polyclonal host response, the preparation contains a diverse population of immunoglobulins recognising multiple epitopes on the target, providing stronger signal amplification than monoclonal alternatives in many assay formats. The conjugate status is unconjugated, allowing end-users to pair the antibody with their preferred secondary detection system or to perform custom labelling. Storage recommendations are straightforward: the product is shipped at 4 °C and, upon receipt, should be aliquoted and stored at –20 °C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. The reagent is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic applications. Researchers working on CD107a expression profiling, lysosomal marker analysis or related signalling pathways will find this polyclonal antibody a flexible and well-characterised tool, with reactivity to both human and rat antigens confirmed by the manufacturer.
