Product Overview
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the lin-28 family, which is characterized by the presence of a cold-shock domain and a pair of CCHC zinc finger domains. This gene is highly expressed in testis, fetal liver, placenta, and in primary human tumors and cancer cell lines. It is negatively regulated by microRNAs that target sites in the 3' UTR, and overexpression of this gene in primary tumors is linked to the repression of let-7 family of microRNAs and derepression of let-7 targets, which facilitates cellular transformation.

The recommended starting dilution for Western Blot is WB 1:500-1:2000. Optimal dilution should be determined empirically for each laboratory setup, sample type, and detection system. Use freshly prepared lysates with protease inhibitors; add phosphatase inhibitors if studying phosphorylation-dependent forms of LIN28B. Expected band size: Calculated 27kDa. If background is high, increase blocking (5% non-fat milk or BSA in TBST) and/or increase wash stringency.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: Human. Cross-reactivity with other species has not been systematically evaluated. If your sample species is not listed, assess immunogen sequence homology to your target species ortholog. The immunogen used is: "Synthetic peptide of human LIN28B" — higher sequence identity between species increases the probability of cross-reactivity, but experimental validation with appropriate controls is necessary before drawing scientific conclusions.
Store at -20℃ Valid for 12 months. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage Buffer: PBS with 0.05% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, PH7.4. To maintain antibody activity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot into single-use volumes before first freeze. If working with the antibody frequently, keep a working stock at 4°C for up to 4 weeks — add 0.02% sodium azide to the working stock as a bacteriostatic agent if azide is not already present in the buffer. Monitor performance against a validated positive control when transitioning between storage aliquots or lots.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced from immunized animals and may exhibit some degree of lot-to-lot variation in titer, background, and sensitivity. Each production lot is tested for performance against established acceptance criteria. When transitioning to a new lot, run a side-by-side pilot comparison against your previous lot using a validated positive control sample before updating your standard protocol. If significant performance differences are observed, contact our technical support team — titer adjustments may resolve the issue in most cases.
