Catalogue number
ANT-485
Synonyms
Cathepsin S, MGC3886, CTSS, Cathepsin-S.
Type
Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal.
Introduction
Cathepsin S (CTSS) belongs to the peptidase C1 family. CTSS is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase that participates in the degradation of antigenic proteins to peptides for presentation on MHC class II molecules. CTSS functions as an elastase over a broad pH range in alveolar macrophages.
Clone
PAT1F9AT.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Immunogen
Anti-human CTSS mAb, clone PAT1F9A, is derived from hybridization of mouse F0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with a recombinant human CTSS protein 17-331 amino acids ?purified from E. coli.
Ig Subclass
Mouse IgG2b heavy chain and Kappa light chain.?
Purification Method
CTSS antibody was purified from mouse ascitic fluids by protein-A affinity chromatography.
Formulation
1mg/ml containing PBS, pH-7.4, 10% Glycerol and 0.02% Sodium Azide.
Storage Procedures
For periods up to 1 month store at 4°C, for longer periods of time, store at -20°C.?
