Anti-IFITM2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified by epitope-specific immunogen chromatography, this polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com is directed against IFITM2 (interferon-induced transmembrane protein 2), an interferon-inducible effector also known as DSPA2c and 1-8D. The immunogen is a synthetic peptide derived from the internal region of human IFITM2, and the antibody specifically detects endogenous levels of the target protein. The unconjugated preparation is supplied as a 50 µl liquid at 1 mg/mL in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide, and is shipped at 4 °C; upon arrival it should be aliquoted and stored at −20 °C, with freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. Validated applications include Western blot (illustrated on HepG2 lysates) and ELISA, with reactivity confirmed against human samples, making it well suited to studies of innate immunity, viral restriction, and interferon signaling pathways where IFITM2 is a relevant readout. Researchers looking for a flexible primary reagent compatible with standard HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary detection will appreciate the unconjugated format, which permits downstream labeling of choice, while the polyclonal profile supports robust signal across multiple epitopes of the same target.
