Our anti-6XHIS antibody recognizes the 6X-HIS tag with high titre and high specificity in western blot applications.

Volume: 100 µL (HIS-W-1010) or 400 µL (HIS-W-1040)

Concentration: 10 mg/mL

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host Species: Chicken

Buffer: Sodium phosphate-buffered (10 mM) isotonic (0.9%, w/v) saline ("PBS," pH 7.2) (50% by volume) with glycerol (50% by volume) as an anti-freezing agent and sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) as a preservative.

Production Notes: Chickens were immunized with the 6X-Histidine peptide conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin protein and emulsified in Freund’s adjuvants. After multiple injections, eggs were collected from the hens, IgY fractions were prepared from the yolks, and then affinity-purified antibodies were prepared using 6X-Histidine peptide conjugated to an agarose matrix. To make up the final mixture, the IgY fraction was spiked with affinity purified antibody, mixed with glycerol and sodium azide, and filter-sterilized.

Validation and Application Notes

IHC Dilution Range: 1:5000-1:10000

Storage

Store at -20°C in the dark. Under these conditions, these antibodies should have a shelf life of at least 12 months (provided they remain sterile). Do not freeze these antibodies at –80°C unless you want to store them for longer periods of time. Note, however, that each time an antibody preparation is frozen, about half its binding activity is lost.
