gp96 Antibody / GRP94 / HSP90B1 [clone SPM249] (V2909)

Description

Recognizes a protein of 94kDa, which is identified as the glucose-regulated protein 94 (grp94) and also tumor rejection antigen (gp96). Gp96 shows a high degree of sequence homology with the heat shock protein 90 (hsp90). This mAb is highly specific and shows minimal cross-reaction with other members of the HSP90 family. Grps are a class of proteins unresponsive to heat shock and are induced by glucose deprivation. Gp96 has been briefly studied as a prognostic factor in breast cancer.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the gp96 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

Purified glucose regulated protein 94 from chicken oviducts was used as the immunogen for the gp96 antibody.

Storage

Store the gp96 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
