Anti-HOXC8 Antibody

The Antibodies.com polyclonal reagent is a rabbit IgG antibody raised against HOXC8, a homeodomain-containing transcription factor encoded within the HOXC gene cluster on human chromosome 12. Supplied as 200 µl of unconjugated antiserum, it is validated for western blot detection of endogenous HOXC8 protein in lysates prepared from human and mouse sources. The polyclonal format provides multi-epitope recognition, useful when probing low-abundance nuclear transcription factors in developmental biology and oncogenesis research.

Suggested starting dilutions for western blot are 1:500 to 1:2000, with empirical optimization recommended per sample type and membrane system. Because the antibody is unconjugated, it pairs cleanly with HRP-, fluorophore-, or biotin-labeled secondary reagents to suit chemiluminescence or fluorescence imaging platforms. For routine use, keep the vial refrigerated at 4 °C; for longer storage, freeze in working aliquots and limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity across blots.
