anti-Lom-TK 2

The two isoforms LomTK 1 and 2 have identical acarboxy-terminus heptapeptides. The anti-LomTK 2 finds out the LomTK 1 antigen.

For general laboratory use.

Form: liquid (Supplied as serum, preserved in glycerol) This antiserum is obtained from rabbits after immunization with the conjugates: Loc-Tachykinin 2-glutardialdehyde-thyroglobulin.

Applications:
Anti-Lom-TK 2 can be used for ELISA and Immunocytochemistry.

Description:
Polyclonal antibody to Locusta-Tachykinin 2.

Immunogen:
Synthetic peptide, APLSGFYGVR-NH2, corresponding
to the whole insect neuropeptide Locusta-Tachykinin 2 (LomTK 2).

Specificity:
Rabbit anti-LomTK 2 specificity is performed by an ELISA using different insect neuropeptide conjugates: Perisulfakinin-G-PL, Allatostatin A1-G-PL, Allatostatin A3-G-PL, Proctolin-G-PL, Locusta-tachykinin 2-G-PL
FMRF-amid-G-PL, CCAP-G-PL, M1-G-PL, Leucomyosuppressin-G-PL, Corazonin-G-PL
(G= glutardialdehyde, PL = polylysine).
