Four different antipeptide antibodies were generated in chickens against sequences shared between the mouse (NP_033332) and human (NP_005630) gene products. Antibodies were affinity-purified and mixed in equal concentrations. These antibodies have been validated with human, mouse and rat tissues.

Volume: 1000 µL

Concentration: 400 µg/mL

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host Species: Chicken

Species Reactivity:Human, Mouse, Rat

Applications: ICC, IHC, WB

Protein Name / Synonyms: Synaptotagmin-1 (Synaptotagmin I) (SytI) (p65)

Target Description: Human Synaptotagmin-1 is a 47,442 dalton protein (422 amino acids) associated with pre-synaptic terminals of the PNS and CNS. Synaptotagmin-1 binds calcium and initiates the fusion of vesicles with the pre-synaptic membrane. This protein also is believed to be the target of proteolytic activity associated with Botulinum neurotoxin A.

Gene ID: SYT1 SVP65 SYT

Antibody Registry ID (RRID): AB_2313562

Physical State: Liquid

Production Notes: Chickens were immunized with four synthetic peptide / keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugates. These synthetic peptides corresponded to different regions of the Synaptotagmin-1 gene product, but are shared between the human (NP_005630, NCBI) and mouse (NP_033332, NCBI) sequences. After repeated injections into the hens, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, and the concentra-tions of the eluates adjusted to 400 µg/mL. Finally, equal volumes of each of the three affinity-purified anti-peptide antibodies were mixed, and the preparation was filter-sterilized.

Validation and Application Notes

Molecular Weight: 48 kDa

Western Blot Dilution Range: 1:1000-1:2000

IHC Dilution Range: 1:1000-1:2000

Quality Control

Each of the three antibodies were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (at a dilution of 1:2000) using fluorescein-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY (1:500 dilution, Aves Labs Cat.# F-1005) as the secondary reagent.

Storage

Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least 12 months (provided they remain sterile). Do not freeze these antibodies unless you want to store them for longer periods of time. Note, however, that each time an antibody preparation is frozen, about half of its binding activity is lost.
