AS08_365
Description
  • Immunogen: KLH-conjugated conserved peptide sequence found in the Gene Transfer Agent (GTA) major capsid protein (MCP) encoded in Bacteria within the Rhodobacterales order of the class alpha-Proteobacteria including Rhodobacter sphaeroides UniProt: Q3J3K4
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Clonality: Polyclonal
  • Purity: Serum
  • Format: Lyophilized
  • Quantity: 200 µl
  • Reconstitution: For reconstitution add 200 µl of sterile distilled 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: Western blot (WB)
  • Expected | apparent MW: 1 : 1000 (WB)
  • Confirmed reactivity: 31.4 | 32 kDa (predicted mature capsid protein of Rhodobacter capsulatus)
  • Not reactive in: Rhodobacterales Species of your interest not listed? Contact us
  • Gene Transfer Agents (GTAs) are bacteriophage-like particles which function as a means to package and transfer genomic DNA between bacterial cells.GTA-mediated gene transfer might be an important phenomenon in natural microbial communities.
