Validation Data Gallery

• 

  WB analysis of rat eye using 68001-1-Ig (same clone as 68001-1-PBS)

  rat eye tissue were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 68001-1-Ig (aB-Crystallin antibody) at dilution of 1:20000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours. This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 68001-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

• 

  WB analysis of mouse eye using 68001-1-Ig (same clone as 68001-1-PBS)

  mouse eye tissue were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 68001-1-Ig (aB-Crystallin antibody) at dilution of 1:20000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours. This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 68001-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

• 

  IHC staining of mouse eye using 68001-1-Ig (same clone as 68001-1-PBS)

  Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse eye tissue slide using 68001-1-Ig (Alpha B Crystallin antibody) at dilution of 1:2000 (under 10x lens). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0). This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 68001-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

• 

  IHC staining of mouse eye using 68001-1-Ig (same clone as 68001-1-PBS)

  Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse eye tissue slide using 68001-1-Ig (Alpha B Crystallin antibody) at dilution of 1:2000 (under 40x lens). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0). This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 68001-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

Background Information

Alpha B-crystallin, encoded by CRYAB gene, is multifunctional, serving as both a major structural protein in the lens and a small heat-shock protein in other tissues in mammals. Alpha B-crystallin may contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of CRYAB gene have been associated with in multiple sclerosis. Mutations in the CRYAB gene cause distinct clinical phenotypes including isolated posterior polar cataract, myofibrillar myopathy, cardiomyopathy, or a multisystemic disorder combining all these features. Impairment of alpha-B crystallin dimerization may be relevant to the pathogenesis of these disorders.
