AHP666 recognises an epitope within the OX-2 domain of the human amyloid precursor protein (APP).
APP is a 110-130kD transmembrane protein. Processing of APP by beta-secretase gives rise to amyloidogenic beta-amyloid proteins, deposition of which are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
APP exists in a number of isoforms, not all of which contain the OX-2 domain.

This product requires sample reduction and alkylation prior to immunoprecipitation (see Campbell et al. for details).
Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. 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 human APP were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen.
