Storage buffer Preservative: None Constituents: PBS, pH 7.2 Purity Protein A purified Clonality Monoclonal Isotype IgG2a Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab66071 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 ELISA Use at an assay dependent dilution. WB Use a concentration of 1 - 5 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 28 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 21 kDa). ICC/IF Use a concentration of 10 µg/ml. Target 1 Relevance Human erythropoietin is member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine hormone composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types. It is produced by kidney or liver of adult mammals and by liver of fetal or neonatal mammals.

Western blot - EPO antibody (ab66071) Secondary Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-HRP at 1/2500 dilution Predicted band size : 21 kDa Observed band size : 28 kDa ICC/IF image of ab66071 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab66071, 10µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899 Dylight 488 goat antiImmunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence Anti-EPO antibody (ab66071) rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
