Target Dectin-2 Target background Dectin-2, a C-type lectin receptor, is implicated in the innate immune response to fungal infection. Dectin-2 has been shown to play a role in the recognition of fungi, acting as a pattern recognition receptor. Recent research has shown that Dectin-2 signals through PLCγ2 to aid in the clearing of pathogenic fungus. Target alias NCKL-4 Immunogen Recombinant protein Specificity The antibody recognizes Dectin-2 protein. Clone ID --- Preservative None Format Lyophilized serum Recommend starting dilution If reconstituted with deionized water in 200 µl: WB 1:200; IF 1:100; FACS 1:200. Optimal dilution has to be determined by the user. Limitations Research Use Only Storage Lyophilized antibodies can be kept at 4ºC for up to 3 months and should be kept at -20ºC for long-term storage (2 years). To avoid freeze-thaw cycles, reconstituted antibodies should be aliquoted before freezing for long-term (1 year) storage (-80ºC) or kept at 4ºC for short-term usage (2 months). For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made with the assay buffer. After the maximum long-term storage period (2 years lyophilized or 1 year reconstituted) antibodies should be tested in your assay with a standard sample to verify if you have noticed any decrease in their efficacy. To limit antibody loss or degradation, BSA (final concentration 1%) and sodium azide (final concentration 0.02%) can be added to the suggested first dilution. It is important to first verify if those preservatives are compatible with your assay.
