Overview
This is a monoclonal anti-MS4A1 antibody raised in Mouse, with confirmed utility in ELISA, IHC. It is designed to detect MS4A1 protein in Human and supports researchers working in immunology contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Synthesized peptide derived from human CD20 — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Mouse): Requires anti-mouse-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Monoclonal format: Single-epitope binding provides high specificity and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Confirm epitope accessibility under your assay conditions.
- Isotype (IgG1, Kappa): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
- Purification (Antigen affinity purification): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
Biological background
MS4A1 (also referred to as B-lymphocyte antigen CD20 (B-lymphocyte surface antigen B1) (Bp35) (Leukocyte surface antigen Leu-16) (Membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 1) (CD antigen CD20), MS4A1, CD20) is a protein target studied in Human systems. Expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types and disease states — factors critical to antibody-based detection design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of MS4A1 biology in immunology.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantification of soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples are within the linear detection range.
- IHC: Visualization of target in FFPE or frozen tissue sections. Optimize antigen retrieval and secondary detection for each tissue type.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG1, Kappa from Mouse) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Confirm the clone does not cross-react with related family members under your assay conditions.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a monoclonal antibody produced from mouse hybridoma cells.
MS4A1 is a protein target in Human biology. This monoclonal antibody raised in Mouse is designed to detect MS4A1 in ELISA, IHC applications, with IgG1, Kappa isotype.
Reported reactive against Human. Immunogen derived from Human. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Reported for ELISA, IHC. Each format requires independent dilution optimization and appropriate controls. Unlisted applications require empirical testing.
This non-conjugated IgG1, Kappa antibody requires a compatible secondary. Select anti-mouse IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG1, Kappa.
(1) Isotype control — IgG1, Kappa from Mouse at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known MS4A1-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
