Anti-RPS2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit hosts and affinity-purified against human ribosomal protein S2 (RPS2, also known as LLREP3), this unconjugated polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com recognises the ~31 kDa 40S small ribosomal subunit component in Western blot lysates from human, mouse, and rat samples. In immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, the antibody produces a cytoplasmic labelling pattern consistent with the expected distribution of ribosome-engaged cells actively carrying out mRNA translation. The 200 µl liquid aliquot is supplied in a single vial and should be stored at -20 °C, with smaller working volumes dispensed to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the stock. Unconjugated formulation allows pairing with standard HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies across chemiluminescent, chromogenic, or immunofluorescence workflows, and cross-reactivity with the rodent orthologues makes the reagent useful for comparative studies of ribosome biogenesis in tumour, developmental, and normal tissue specimens.
