Anti-Trichnosanthin Antibody [TCST-1]

The TCST-1 clone is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody raised against trichosanthin (TCS), a type I ribosome-inactivating protein originally isolated from the root tuber of Trichosanthes kirilowii. Produced and quality-controlled by Antibodies.com as a primary antibody reagent, this unconjugated preparation is supplied in lyophilised form at 100 µg per vial, allowing long-term storage without cold-chain dependence prior to reconstitution.

Trichosanthin has a documented research history in studies of ribosomal inactivation, anti-viral mechanisms, and apoptosis induction, so the antibody is well suited to ELISA-based detection and quantification of the protein in purified samples, recombinant expression workflows, and pharmacological assays. Its IgG1 isotype and mouse origin make it compatible with standard anti-mouse secondary reagents, and the unconjugated format leaves the choice of label (HRP, biotin, fluorophore) to the end user.

Reconstitution in sterile PBS or distilled water is recommended, and reconstituted aliquots should be stored frozen for routine bench use. Intended for research use only; not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
