Human Serpin A4/Kallistatin Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity

Human

Specificity

Detects human Serpin A4/Kallistatin in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, less than 5% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Serpin A1, rhSerpin A3, rhSerpin A5, rhSerpin C1, recombinant mouse Serpin D1, and rhSerpin F2 is observed.

Source

Polyclonal Goat IgG

Purification

Antigen Affinity-purified

Immunogen

Mouse myeloma cell line NS0-derived recombinant human Serpin A4/Kallistatin
Gly20-Pro427 (predicted)
Accession # AAA59454

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.

Label

Unconjugated

Applications

Recommended Concentration

Sample

Western Blot

0.25 µg/mL

See below

Immunohistochemistry

5-15 µg/mL

Immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human liver

Immunoprecipitation

25 µg/mL

Conditioned cell culture medium spiked with Recombinant Human Serpin A4/Kallistatin (Catalog # 1669-PI), see our available Western blot detection antibodies

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize Recombinant Human Serpin A4 (3.8 µg/mL, Catalog # 1669-PI) inhibition of Chymotrypsin (0.1 µg/mL) cleavage of the fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-RPKPVE-Nval-WRK(Dnp)-NH₂ (10 µM, Catalog # ES002). The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 10.8 µg/mL.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Detection of Human Serpin A4/Kallistatin by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human liver tissue, human kidney tissue, and human pancreas tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Serpin A4/Kallistatin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1669) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). Specific bands were detected for Serpin A4/Kallistatin at approximately 50-60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: Serpin A4/Kallistatin

Serpin A4 is a member of the Serpin superfamily of the serine protease inhibitors (1). Known also as Kallistatin or proteinase inhibitor 4, Serpin A4 has been shown to function as a specific inhibitor of tissue kallikrein and as an inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth (2, 3).
