Growth Differentiation Factor 9 Antibody / GDF9 [clone GDF9/6458] (V5383)

IHC staining of FFPE human ovary tissue with Growth Differentiation Factor 9 antibody (clone GDF9/6458). Inset: PBS used in place of primary Ab (secondary Ab negative control).

Analysis of HuProt(TM) microarray containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins using Growth Differentiation Factor 9 antibody (clone GDF9/6458). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the GDF9/6458 mAb. Z- and S- Score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that a monoclonal antibody (clone MAb) (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary antibody) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt(TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If targets on HuProt(TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-score. S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of a MAb to its intended target. A MAb is considered to specific to its intended target, if the MAb has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if a MAb binds to protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to protein Y with a Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the binding of that MAb to protein X is equal to 29.

SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free Growth Differentiation Factor 9 antibody (clone GDF9/6458) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
