Anti-Transferrin Antibody

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG1 raised against human transferrin, the iron-binding plasma glycoprotein that carries ferric iron through the bloodstream and delivers it to cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. This primary antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied at 1 mg per vial in unconjugated form, leaving the choice of reporter to the end user.

Laboratory workflows that pair well with this reagent include western blot detection of the 80 kDa transferrin band, immunohistochemistry on fixed tissue sections, ELISA capture or coating setups, and flow cytometry staining of surface-bound or internalised transferrin. Studies of iron metabolism, hepatic protein secretion, and barrier-tissue iron transport commonly use anti-transferrin antibodies in cell culture lysates, serum samples, and conditioned media.

The monoclonal format delivers epitope-specific binding and reproducibility across production lots, which is helpful when comparing biological replicates or treatment groups. Because the antibody is supplied purified and unconjugated, laboratories retain full control over detection chemistry, including custom biotin, HRP, or fluorophore conjugations prepared in-house.
