RTA | Ricin toxic A chain

AS17 4143 | Clonality: Polyclonal | Host: Rabbit | Reactivity: Ricinus communis


product information
Background		Ricin is a naturally occuring protein found in castor bean (Ricinus communis) acting as protein synthesis inhibitor. It is a toxin involved in plant defence. A chain of ricin can inactivate few thousands of ribosomes per minute. B chain facilitates the entry of A chain into the cell. Both protein chains, A and B must be present in order to produce an active toxin. Ricin toxic A chain is an N-glycosylated heterodimer of approximately 60 to 65 kDa.
Immunogen		Ricin A chain isolated from Ricinus communis var. Impala
Host		Rabbit
Clonality		Polyclonal
Clone
Purity		Serum
Format		Lyophilized
Quantity		50 µl
Reconstitution		For reconstitution add 50 µl of sterile water.
Storage		Lyophilized antibody can be stored at -20°C for up to 3 years. Re-constituted antibody can be stored at 4°C for several days to weeks. Once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please, remember to spin tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from lyophilized material adhering to the cap or sides of the tubes.
