Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets apolipoprotein E (gene APOE) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 36.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 36 kDa.
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a lipid-binding protein that mediates the transport of cholesterol and other lipids between tissues. Acting as a ligand for the LDL receptor family, it directs the clearance of lipoprotein remnants and is the main apolipoprotein in the brain. Its common isoforms (E2, E3, E4) are widely studied in lipid metabolism and Alzheimer's disease.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Immunocytochemistry / Immunofluorescence | 5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg /1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human Caco-2 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human liver tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): U2OS cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): Caco-2 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human APOE fragment (Glu95–Gln222), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt describes apolipoprotein E as secreted and also located in the extracellular vesicle and endosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Produced by several tissues and cell types and mainly found associated with lipid particles in the plasma, the interstitial fluid and lymph. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
