AHP1292 detects beta-galactosidase, an inducible enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of lactose and other beta-galactosides into monosaccharides.
Beta-galactosidase is a product of theLacZoperon, and is a homo-tetrameric protein consisting of four identical subunits of approximately 116kDa each. The enzyme is commonly used as a reporter gene in molecular biology to assess the efficiency of transfection.

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to beta-galactosidase were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared from whole serum by ion exchange chromatography.
