Anti-SDF-1 Antibody

Sourced through Antibodies.com and supplied by AFMS, this rabbit polyclonal reagent targets stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1, also known as CXCL12) and is supplied as a 50 µl aliquot at a working concentration of 1 mg/mL. It is validated for use in ELISA, Western blot (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and has been confirmed to react with human, mouse, and rat samples. The antibody was raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human SDF-1, then affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by epitope-specific affinity chromatography. It is provided unconjugated, formulated as a liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.02% sodium azide, and is shipped at 4°C; upon receipt, the product should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided. Although the catalog entry does not specify an individual isotype, the polyclonal nature of this Antibodies.com primary antibody means the reagent contains a heterogeneous pool of rabbit immunoglobulins directed against the SDF-1 immunogen. Polyclonal antibodies such as this one are widely used to detect endogenous levels of the SDF-1 protein in cell and tissue lysates, making the reagent a practical choice for researchers investigating chemokine signalling, stromal cell biology, stem-cell homing, and related inflammatory or cancer-related pathways. Orders are dispatched from St. Louis, MO, with a typical lead time of 6–9 business days. As with all primary antibodies of this class, the product is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
