m-Calpain

Source: Bovine Myocardium

Description: This protein consists of an 80 kDa large subunit and a 30 kDa small subunit. The protein was purified by sequential chromatography through DEAE-Sepharose, A 1.5m Bio-Gel, and Phenyl-Sepharose® CL-4B columns.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: 50mM Imidazole-HCl, 0.2mM EDTA, 1mM DTT and 50% glycerol, pH 7.4.

Stability: m-Calpain although stable at 100C for 1 week, should be stored desiccated below -180C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by: Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Coomassie.

Applications: This protein can be used for immunoblots, absorption experiments in immunohistochemistry, radioimmunoassay and intracellular injection. For adsorption we suggest the following procedure: A- Dilute 1 l of the antiserum against -calpain in 1ml of the usual buffer for immunohistochemistry (final dilution 1:1000). B- Add 1 g of protein to 1ml of the diluted antibody solution and mix well. C- Incubate for at least 6 hours in the cold. D- Apply to tissue-sections and incubate for 3 days. E - Complete the immunohistochemical reaction as usual (biotinylated second antibody, ABC-complex, DAB). As a result, the immunostaining should be strongly reduced or even completely prevented.
