Properties Form Liquid Storage instructions Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles. Storage buffer Preservative: None PBS, pH 7.2 Purity Protein G purified Clonality Monoclonal Isotype IgG1 Light chain type kappa Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab54904 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application Abreviews Notes WB ICC/IF IHC-P Application notes WB: Use at a concentration of 1-5 µg/ml. 1 Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Target Function Induces cartilage and bone formation. May be the osteoinductive factor responsible for the phenomenon of epithelial osteogenesis. Plays a role in calcium regulation and bone homeostasis. Tissue specificity Expressed in the kidney and bladder. Lower levels seen in the brain. Sequence similarities Belongs to the TGF-beta family. Developmental stage Expressed in the developing eye, brain and ear during embryogenesis. Post-translational modifications Several N-termini starting at positions 293, 300, 315 and 316 have been identified by direct sequencing resulting in secretion of different mature forms (PubMed:17977014). Cellular localization Secreted. Anti-BMP7 antibody images 2 IHC image of BMP7 staining in Human Kidney formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab54904, 0.5 µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed was used as the chromogen. The section was paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-BMP7 antibody then counterstained with haematoxylin and (ab54904) mounted with DPX. For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times. For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times. Predicted band size : 49 kDa BMP7 antibody (ab54904) at 1ug/lane + Raw cell lysate at 25ug/lane. Western blot - BMP7 antibody (ab54904) 3 ICC/IF image of ab54904 staining of BMP7 in rat primary hippocampal neuron culture. The sections were incubated in 0.3% triton X to permeabilise the cells and in 10% serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The sections were incubated with ab54904 (1:1000) overnight at +4°C, followed by a second incubation with Alexa 488 conjugated secondary antibody. BMP7 Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - (green staining) is observed in the pyramidal Anti-BMP7 antibody (ab54904) cells of the hippocampus.
