Quality Control Certificate of analysis 

Lot 0503-01    anti-phospho-PLB (Thr-17)

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide conjugated to keyhole limpet haemocyanin

Formulation: Lyophilised rabbit serum, containing rabbit IgG specific for immunogen

Antigen specificity: Polyclonal antibody raised to the phosphopeptide sequence              RSAIRRAST(PO4)IEY. Recognises Thr-17 phosphorylated PLB, and will not react with dephosphorylated PLB or Ser-16 phosphorylated PLB.

Reconstitution & Storage: Store dessicated at 4C prior to  reconstitution. Dissolve lyophilised  serum in 20ml deionised water.  Freeze in aliquots at –70C. Avoid  freeze-thaw cycles - this  denatures antibody molecules.

Best Before Date: This antibody preparation stored as described on this sheet is very stable. It will display the characteristics described on this sheet if used before 31 May 2004.

Species reactivity: Dog,  rat. [From previous experience, it is likely that this product will also detect Thr-17 phosphorylated forms of PLB in human, ferret, guinea pig and mouse samples of cardiac muscle although evidence for this has not been sought for this batch of antibody.]

Quality control testing

 

    Immunoblot analysis: anti-phospho-PLB (Thr-17) (1:5000), of this lot, detected Thr-17 phosphorylated PLB in 0.8mg canine cardiac SR (lane c) but not Ser-16 phosphorylated PLB in the same SR preparation (lane b). It also detected Thr-17 phosphorylated PLB in rat heart homogenates (25mg, lane a). All specific immunoreactivity was absent when blots were probed by antibody in the presence of 1mM epitope peptide (P010-13), but addition of 1mM epitope peptide to the Ser-16 site (P010-12) had no effect on antibody binding to phosphorylated PLB.

 

It should be noted that a non-specific interaction of the serum with a protein of ~30kDa was observed in rat heart homogenates (*). Researchers are advised to perform experiments using epitope peptides to establish specific and non-specific interactions in their samples.
