Anti-Mitochondria Antibody, surface of intact mitochondria, clone 113-1

65 kDa

This antibody recognizes a 60 kDa nonglycosylated protein component of mitochondria found in human cells. It can be used to stain mitochondria in cell, tissue or biochemical preparations and can be used as a marker of the mitochondria in subcellular fractions.

Epitope: surface of intact mitochondria

Anti-Mitochondria Antibody, surface of intact mitochondria, clone 113-1 is an antibody against Mitochondria for use in IF, IH, IH(P) & IP.

Immunohistochemistry:
1:100 dilutoin from a previous lot was used. Works best with organic fixatives (acetone, methanol, etc). 2% PFA for 10-15 min can be used but stronger use of formalin or 4% PFA limits staining.
The antibody has been used to isolate intact mitochondria from freeze/thaw lysates of living cells via conjugation to magnetic beads {http://www.dynalbiotech.com}.

Immunohistochemistry in paraffin embedded tissues:
Requires citric acid/microwave antigen retrieval; enhanced ABC or amplified detection systems recommended.
Optimal Staining With EDTA Buffer, pH 8.0, Epitope Retrieval: Heart Ventricle Epithelium

The antibody has been used to isolate intact mitochondria from freeze/thaw lysates of living cells via conjugation to magnetic beads {http://www.dynalbiotech.com}.

Indirect immunofluorescence:
1:10-1:50 dilution from a previous lot was used, 30 - 100 μL per slide well.

MAB1273 recognizes a 65 kD protein by immunoprecipitation.

Optimal working dilutions and protocols must be determined by the end user.

Gives mitochondrial staining on all human cell types and does not cross react with rat and mouse tissue. The staining pattern is best described as a spaghetti-like staining pattern in fibroblasts and a perinuclear large speckled pattern in lymphonoid cells.
MAB1273 recognizes a 65 kD protein by immunoprecipitation. Antibody produces the stringy, "spaghetti-like" staining patten in the cytoplasm of human cells.

Reactivity with other species has not been determined
