Reconstitution
|
For reconstitution add 50 μL H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution of antibody in PBS. Either add 1:1 (v/v) glycerol (if this does not interfere with your experiments!), then aliquot and store at -20 °C until use, or store aliquots at -80 °C without additives. Reconstitute immediately upon receipt! Avoid bright light when working with the antibody to minimize photo bleeching of the fluorescent dye.

Handling Advice
|
Affinity purified antibodies are less robust than antisera, since protease inhibitors are also removed during purification. Hence, storage at 4?°C for prolonged periods (i.e. several weeks), is not recommended.

Storage Comment
|
Fluorescence-labeled antibodies should be reconstituted immediately upon delivery. Prolonged storage at 4 °C is not recommended!
