    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody retains the antigen-binding Fab regions of the original parent host sequence from which it is engineered. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as Calbindin (D1I4Q) XP® Rabbit mAb #13176.

    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:50 - 1:200

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Calbindin (D1I4Q) XP® Mouse Chimeric mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total calbindin protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from Calbindin (D1I4Q) XP® Rabbit mAb #13176 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody, but contains a mouse-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies.

    The parent antibody, Calbindin (D1I4Q) XP® Rabbit mAb #13176, is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of mouse calbindin protein.

    Background

    Calcium-binding proteins of different subfamilies regulate the second messenger calcium. Calbindin, calmodulin, S-100, parvalbumin, and troponin C are members of the low molecular weight calcium-binding protein family (1). Calbindin is expressed in discrete neuronal populations within the CNS and is thought to act as an intracellular calcium buffering protein. Most Purkinje cells express calbindin, which is expressed when neurons start to migrate and differentiate. In contrast, other calcium buffering proteins, such as parvalbumin, are expressed later during development and in parallel with increasing neuronal activity (2).
