DPPA4 is a 33kD molecule that is expressed specifically in the early embryo, uncommitted cells of the germ line, and embryonic stem cells and is used as a marker of pluripotent cells.
Mouse DPPA4 is 296 amino acids in length and contains an SAP (SAF-A/B, ACINUS, PIAS) putative DNA-binding domain.
Two potential isoforms exist with deletions of amino acids 104-120 and 69-120, respectively.
In the region used as an immunogen, mouse DPPA4 shows 57% amino acid sequence identity with human and 87% identity with rat DPPA4 proteins.
Applications:Western Blot: This antibody can be used at 0.1-0.2ug/ml with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect mouse DPPA4.
The detection limit for rmDPPA4 is approximately 1 ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions.
This antibody has not been optimized for Western blot detection of DPPA4 in cell lysates.
Immunocytochemistry: This antibody has been used at a concentration of 10ug/ml to detect mouse DPPA4 in mouse embryonic stem cells.
Cells were fixed with PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% normal donkey serum, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 1% BSA for 45 minutes at room temperature.
After blocking, cells were incubated with diluted primary antibody overnight at 4° C followed by Rhodamine RedTM-coupled anti-goat IgG at room termperature in the dark for one hour.
Between each step, cells were washed with PBS containing 0.1% BSA.
Direct ELISA: This antibody can be used at 0.5-1.0ug/ml with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect mouse DPPA4.
The detection limit for rmDPPA4 is approximately 0.2 ng/well.
Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application.
Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile PBS with 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C.
Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
