Anti-HP1α Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal reagent is raised against a synthetic peptide derived from the internal region of human HP1α (heterochromatin protein 1 alpha) and specifically detects endogenous levels of the HP1α protein. It is supplied as a 50 µl liquid formulation at a concentration of 1 mg/ml in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide, and the antibody is unconjugated, making it well suited to standard immunodetection workflows. The host species is rabbit and the clonality is polyclonal; purification is performed by affinity-chromatography on an epitope-specific immunogen. Validated applications include Western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF) and ELISA, and the antibody has been confirmed to react with both human and mouse samples. Recommended for research use only, this primary antibody provides a reliable tool for studying heterochromatin biology, chromatin-associated gene silencing and epigenetic regulation in cell biology and oncology research programs.
