Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects apolipoprotein L1 (gene APOL1) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 44.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 37 kDa.
Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) is a secreted apolipoprotein carried on HDL particles. It is a key component of the trypanosome lytic factor in human serum, forming pores that kill Trypanosoma brucei, and certain APOL1 variants are well known to be associated with kidney disease in people of recent African ancestry.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human plasma tissue.
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, 50 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 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human liver cancer 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 citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Recombinant human Apolipoprotein L1/APOL1 fragment (Met228–Leu398), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt describes apolipoprotein L1 as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Plasma. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
