Storage

Water buffered solution containing 100ug/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and 0.09% sodium azide. Store at 4°C for 12 months.

Description

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

About

Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera.

Cross Reactive Species details

No significant cross reactivity has been observed for this antibody for the tested species. However, note that due to limited knowledge it is impossible to predict with 100% guarantee that the antibody does not corss react with any other species.

Advisory

Avoid freeze/thaw cycles as they may denaturate the polypeptide chains of the antibody, thus reducing its reactivity, specificity and sensitivity. For antibodies that are in liquid form or reconstituted lyophilized antibodies small amounts could become entrapped on the seal or the walls of the tube. Prior to use briefly centrifuge the vial to gather all the solution on the bottom.

Background information

HCP5 is a region present on chromosome 6p21.3 that is characterized by multiple duplicated gene families. HCP5 (HLA class I histocompatibility antigen protein P5), also known as P5-1, is a 132 amino acid protein that is encoded by a gene mapping to human chromosome 6p21.33. Localizing within the MHC class I region, HCP5 is not structurally related to other MHC class I genes, but does have high sequence similarity with HERV-L and HERV-16. HCP5 also has high sequence homology to retroviral Pol genes, making it a possible candidate for interaction with HIV-1 through an antisense mechanism that prevents retrovirus transcription. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to the region of the HCP5 gene that corresponds with HLA-B has been linked to a lower HIV-1 viral set point. HCP5 is highly expressed in lymphoid tissues, spleen and activated lymphocytes, as well as B-cell and natural killer (NK) cell lines.
