Anti-LHX8 Antibody

LHX8 is a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor studied for its role in cholinergic neuron specification in the basal forebrain and in craniofacial and tooth development, making a robust antibody reagent useful for neuroscience and developmental biology laboratories. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent is supplied by Antibodies.com as a 200 µl liquid aliquot and is validated for Western blot detection of endogenous LHX8 in mouse and rat tissue lysates.

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified against the LHX8 immunogen, the polyclonal format offers recognition of multiple epitopes on the target protein, which can be helpful when probing splice variants, partially denatured preparations, or low-abundance samples. Typical applications include confirming expression changes in primary neuronal cultures, brain regions such as the medial septum and nucleus basalis, and developing dental epithelium, and the reagent pairs with standard HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for chemiluminescent readout on PVDF or nitrocellulose membranes.

For handling, store the vial refrigerated and divide into working aliquots to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles and preserve IgG activity. Listed reactivity covers Mouse and Rat, so experiments in other species should be validated empirically before being scaled up. The unconjugated format also allows the antibody to be directly labelled or used in custom immunoassay configurations.
