Anti-CD138 Antibody

Offered through the Antibodies.com catalogue, this rabbit polyclonal reagent is raised against CD138 (Syndecan-1, SDC1) and is intended for the qualitative detection of endogenous CD138 protein in human samples. The antiserum is generated in rabbit hosts and is affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using an epitope-specific immunogen consisting of a synthesized peptide derived from the internal region of human CD138, giving a polyclonal response suitable for sensitive recognition of the native target. The product is supplied at a concentration of 1 mg/mL in a liquid PBS formulation containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide as a stabilizer, and it is provided as an unconjugated preparation in a 50 µl format, which is convenient for routine western blot and ELISA workflows. Validated applications on the supplier datasheet are Western Blot (WB) and ELISA, with reactivity confirmed against human specimens; the reagent is shipped at 4°C and should be aliquoted upon arrival and stored at -20°C, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Synonyms recorded by Antibodies.com for the target include SDC, SDC1, SYND1 and Syndecan-1, supporting its use across membrane-proteoglycan research. For research use only; the antibody is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
