Description
MA3-062 detects spectrin from mouse, rat and human erythrocytes, brain and muscle cells. This antibody has been shown to specifically detect the two known alternatively spliced forms of spectrin, beta-1 epsilon-1, present in erythrocytes, and beta-1 epsilon-2, present in nerve and striated muscle cells. It does not cross-react with alpha-2 spectrin or either of the fodrin subunits. MA3-062 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunohistochemistry (paraffin) and immunofluorescence procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a ~246 kDa protein representing beta-1 spectrin in rat skeletal muscle homogenate. Immunofluorescence staining of beta-1 spectrin in rat skeletal muscle fibers with MA3-062 results in intense staining of the sarcolemma. In immunofluorescence, antigen integrity can be compromised if aldehyde fixatives are left in contact with the protein for extended periods of time. If paraformaldehyde is used as a fixative, exposure should be limited to 5 minutes or less of no more than a 2% solution. The MA3-062 antigen is purified human erythrocyte beta-1 spectrin.
