Anti-BETA GALACTOSIDASE (E.coli)

Beta-Galactosidase Antibody is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum as well as purified and partially purified Beta Galactosidase [E.coli]. Cross reactivity against Beta Galactosidase from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined. Very low background staining has been reported in various assays. Anti Beta Galactosidase Antibody recognizes the enzyme beta galactosidase, or ?-galactosidase, that is a component of assays used frequently in genetics, molecular biology (see X-gal) for a blue white screen, and other life sciences. IPTG induces production of ?-galactosidase by binding and inhibiting the lac repressor. Since it is highly expressed and accumulated in lysosomes in senescent cells, it is used as a senescence biomarker both in vivo and in vitro in qualitative and quantitative assays, despite its limitations. Anti-beta Galactosidase Antibody is ideal for investigators involved in enzyme research.
