Thermo Fisher Scientific Transferrin Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (101)

Applications and Tested Dilution

Product Specifications

Product Specific Information

This product is preservative-free. It is recommended to add sodium azide to avoid contamination (final concentration 0.05%–0.1%).

Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits are cloned and expressed, and individual clones are screened to select optimal candidates.
Advantages include:

• Better specificity and sensitivity
• Lot-to-lot consistency
• Animal origin-free formulation
• Broader immunoreactivity due to the rabbit immune repertoire

This antibody specifically recognizes Human Transferrin.

Target Information

Transferrins (Tf) are approximately 80 kDa blood plasma glycoproteins synthesized by the liver. They are iron-binding transport proteins that can bind two Fe(3+) ions with an associated anion, usually bicarbonate.
Transferrin transports iron from absorption and heme degradation sites to storage and utilization sites. It is the primary blood iron transport protein; under normal conditions, about one-third of total blood transferrin contains bound iron.
Measurement of blood transferrin levels can indicate blood iron-carrying capacity and abnormalities of iron metabolism such as anemia, iron overload, and hemochromatosis. Serum transferrin may also play a role in stimulating cell proliferation.
