Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-S100a9 antibody raised in Rabbit, conjugated with Biotin, with confirmed utility in ELISA. Designed to detect S100a9 in Mouse, supporting researchers in immunology contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Mouse Protein S100-A9 protein (2-113AA) — determines the epitope region recognized; confirm epitope compatibility with your sample preparation and expected PTMs.
- Host (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents. Mismatched secondaries result in no signal. Consider host species when multiplexing.
- Polyclonal: Recognizes multiple epitopes — robust signal across varied preparations, with inherent lot-to-lot variability. Isotype controls and lot qualification recommended.
- Isotype (IgG): Secondary antibodies and isotype controls must match IgG from Rabbit. Relevant for multiplexing and Protein A/G compatibility.
- Purification (Protein G purification): Reduces non-specific immunoglobulin populations, improving signal-to-noise in quantitative immunoassay formats.
- Biotin conjugate: Signal amplification via streptavidin/avidin-coupled reporters. Block endogenous biotin in liver, kidney, or biotin-supplemented samples.
Biological background
S100a9 (also known as S100a9, Cagb, Mrp14, Protein S100-A9, Calgranulin-B, Leukocyte L1 complex heavy chain, Migration inhibitory factor-related protein 14, MRP-14, p14, S100 calcium-binding protein A9) is a protein studied in Mus musculus (Mouse) systems. Expression levels, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types, tissues, and disease states — factors that influence antibody-based detection outcomes. Researchers are encouraged to consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of S100a9 biology relevant to immunology.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Sandwich or indirect ELISA quantifies soluble/secreted target in biological fluids or cell culture supernatants.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Include IgG from Rabbit at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity/isoforms: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins or isoforms — validate with siRNA KD, KO lysate, or recombinant protein controls.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix (serum, plasma, lysate, homogenate) may influence performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments before full quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Mouse; extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
S100a9 is a protein target in Mouse biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit detects S100a9 and is validated for ELISA applications.
This antibody is reported reactive against Mouse. Immunogen derived from Mus musculus (Mouse). Cross-reactivity with unlisted species should not be assumed — contact us or consult the datasheet for homology data.
Supplier reports performance in ELISA. Dilution optimization, blocking, and appropriate controls are required per format. Contact BioHippo for recommended working concentrations.
Biotin enables streptavidin-amplified detection with high sensitivity. Block endogenous biotin (liver, kidney, biotin-supplemented media) to minimize background.
(1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — lysate/cell line expressing S100a9; (3) Negative control — siRNA KD or KO sample to confirm specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease for quantitative applications.
