Novus Biologicals Announces New LAMP2 Antibody Made Using SDIX Genomic Antibody Technology™
Littleton, CO, October 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Novus Biologicals announced today a new LAMP2 antibody (catalog number NBP1-71692) for use as a cell marker in autophagy signaling and cancer research. This LAMP2 antibody was developed using SDIX Genomic Antibody TechnologyTM.
LAMP2 is a member of a family of membrane glycoproteins. Specifically, LAMP2 marks selectins with carbohydrate ligands. It is thought that this function plays a role in tumor cell metastasis, as well as in the protection, maintenance and adhesion of lysosomes. Impaired LAMP2 activity can lead to Danon's disease, characterized by the accumulation of autophagic material in striated myocytes.
It has also been suggested that LAMP2 may protect cells from the toxic effects of methylating mutagens.
LAMP2 antibodies are primarily used for cancer research to measure metastasis; however researchers have also started to use them as cell markers and in autophagy research. Novus’ new LAMP2 Antibody (NBP1-71692) has been validated for use in Western blot and immunofluorescence staining on human, mouse, rat, pig and bovine cell lines.
SDIX Genomic Antibody Technology™ uses sophisticated bioinformatics and immunization strategies to produce high-quality antibodies that specifically bind to a targeted region of protein in its naturally folded form. The ability of any antibody to recognize a protein’s naturally folded state has the potential to expand an antibody’s utility to high-value applications like sandwich immunoassay, ChIP and flow cytometry.
