Anti-NCF-1 Antibody, clone 2B8 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Neutrophil cytosol factor 1 (UniProt: P14598; also known as NCF-1, 47 kDa autosomal chronic granulomatous disease protein, 47 kDa neutrophil oxidase factor, NCF-47K, Neutrophil NADPH oxidase factor 1, Nox organizer 2, Nox-organizing protein 2, SH3 and PX domain-containing protein 1A, p47-phox ) is encoded by the NCF1 (also known as NOXO2, SH3PXD1A ) gene (Gene ID: 653361) in human. NCF-1 is a subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex that mediates the transfer of electrons from cytosolic NADPH to O2 to produce the superoxide anion (O2-). It is primarily localized in the cytosol, where it interacts with other components of the NADPH oxidase complex and, activation of NADPH-oxidase dependent superoxide generation requires the participation of several cytosolic factors including p47phox, p67phox, p40phox and Rac (1 or 2). NCF-1(p47-phox) is expressed in various tissues, with particularly high levels in immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. The protein has a N-terminal PX domain (aa 4-125aa) and two SH3 domains (aa 156-215 & aa 226-285). The PX domain mediates interaction with phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and other anionic phospholipids and the C-terminal SH3 domain precludes phospholipid binding and interaction with CYBA. Dysregulation of NCF-1 can lead to various diseases, particularly those involving immune dysfunction. Mutations in NCF1 (p47phox) cause autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) with abnormal di-hydrorhodamine (DHR) assay and absent p47phox protein. CGD leads to impaired ROS production and increased susceptibility to infections. Recent studies have reported that NCF1-mediated oxidative-proinflammatory cascades and consequential pathological changes in the myometrium can play a crucial role in premature birth. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our proprietary technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Clone 2B8 is a ZooMAb^® recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically detects NCF-1. It targets an epitope within 22 amino acids from the internal region.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
