Anti-CSTF1 (C-terminal) produced in rabbit, affinity isolated antibody
Product Number C2372
Product Description Reagent Anti-CSTF1 (C-terminal) is produced in rabbit using as Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered the immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding to a saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a sequence at the C-terminal of human CSTF1 (GeneID: preservative. 1477) conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse and rat. The antibody is affinity- Antibody concentration: 1.0 mg/mL purified using the immunizing peptide immobilized on agarose. Precautions and Disclaimer For R&D use only. Not for drug, household, or other Anti-CSTF1 (C-terminal) specifically recognizes human uses. Please consult the Safety Data Sheet for CSTF1 (also known as Cleavage stimulation factor, information regarding hazards and safe handling 3 pre-RNA, subunit 1, 50 kDa, CSF-50 subunit).
