Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-IGFBP3 antibody raised in Rabbit, with confirmed utility in ELISA, WB. It is designed to detect IGFBP3 protein in Human, Mouse and supports researchers working in cell biology contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of serine 183(K-D-S(p)-Q-R) derived from Human IGFBP-3 . — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Polyclonal format: Recognizes multiple epitopes for robust signal; inherent lot-to-lot variability requires appropriate controls.
- Isotype (IgG): 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
IGFBP3 (also referred to as Acid stable subunit of the 140 K IGF complex, Binding protein 29, Binding protein 53, BP 53, BP53, Growth hormone dependent binding protein, IBP 3, IBP-3, IBP3, IBP3_HUMAN, IGF binding protein 3, IGF-binding protein 3, IGFBP 3, IGFBP-3, IGFBP3, Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3, Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 precursor, Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3) 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 IGFBP3 biology in cell biology.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantification of soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples are within the linear detection range.
- WB: Confirms target molecular weight and distinguishes isoforms under denaturing conditions.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG from Rabbit) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins. Orthogonal validation (siRNA, KO lysate) is recommended.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human, Mouse. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
IGFBP3 is a protein target in Human, Mouse biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit is designed to detect IGFBP3 in ELISA, WB applications, with IgG isotype.
Reported reactive against Human, Mouse. Immunogen derived from Human. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Reported for ELISA, WB. Each format requires independent dilution optimization and appropriate controls. Unlisted applications require empirical testing.
This non-conjugated IgG antibody requires a compatible secondary. Select anti-rabbit IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG.
(1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known IGFBP3-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
