Anti-VTG | Sole vitellogenin

(Cat#: AS06 127)
Description
  • Immunogen: Native vitellogenin purified from plasma of estradiol induced male of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Clonality: Polyclonal
  • Purity: Serum
  • Format: Lyophilized
  • Quantity: 200 µl
  • Reconstitution: For reconstitution add 200 µl of sterile water
  • Storage: Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
  • Tested applications: ELISA (ELISA), Western blot (WB)
  • Recommended dilutions: 1 : 5 000 on sole serum (ELISA), 1 : 5 000 (WB)
  • Expected | apparent MW: ca. 200 kDa
  • Confirmed reactivity: Senegalese sole, Dicentrarchus labrax (sea bass), Sparus aurata (seabream)
  • Not reactive in: No confirmed exceptions from predicted reactivity are currently known
  • Vitellogen (VTG) is a glucolipoprotein yolk precursor produced by all oviparous animals. This protein is female-specific and its expression is under hormonal control (estrogen). However, in the presence of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC's), males can express the VgTG gene in a dose dependent manner. The use of VTG gene expression in male fish can be used as a molecular marker of exposure to estrogenic EDC's.

  • The developed VTG ELISA, using these VTG and AbVTG, has been validated for Senegalese sole, sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and seabream (Sparus aurata), which all gave parallel displacement curves in the assay. Probably, plasmas from several other fish species displace parallel and can also be used in the assay, although it has to be validated for each case.
