Mammals express seven distinct 14-3-3 isoforms (gamma, epsilon, beta, zeta, sigma, eta, tau) that form multiple homo- and hetero- dimmers, thus rendering 14-3-3 as a key multifunctional regulatory molecule. 14-3-3 isomers have been implicated in several neurological disorders: for example isoforms gamma, epsilon and beta are expressed in the cerebrospinal fluid of Creutzfeldt-Jakob patients, but not patients suffering from other neurological conditions such as Alzheimer′s.

The 14-3-3 eta antibody is one of a panel of antibodies that were generated against 14-3-3 isoforms and have demonstrated their potential for use as an ELISA-based diagnostic tool. These antibodies will allow the research to investigate the role of this protein in key cellular processes and neurological disorders such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob, Alzheimer′s and Parkinson′s Disease.

Western blot: 1:3,000 using ECL.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:1,600-1:3,200 on mouse brain tissue which was treated by hydrated autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes prior to immunolabeling. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked with hydrogen peroxide in methanol and non-specific labeling with normal goat serum at 1:20 for 5 minutes.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

14-3-3 eta. By Western blot the antibody recognizes the ~30 kDa protein.

Serum

Liquid.

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. During shipment, small volumes of product will occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. For products with volumes of 200 µL or less, we recommend gently tapping the vial on a hard surface or briefly centrifuging the vial in a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container′s cap.
