Organelle Marker Immunocytochemistry Kit

Background:
A variety of subcellular compartments in eukaryotic cells perform specific activities related to cell function. The nucleus encloses DNA containing chromatin where gene transcriptions occurs. Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and endosomes are involved in protein transport and protein post-translational modification and folding. Mitochondria contain proteins involved in cellular respiration, apoptosis, and free radical production. Caveolae are abundant cell-surface organelles involved in lipid regulation and endocytosis. Immunocytochemical co-labeling of newly discovered proteins with organelle marker antibodies is an important technique for determining protein function.

Buffer/Storage:
Mouse monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies are supplied in phosphate-buffered saline, 50% glycerol, 1 mg/ml BSA, and 0.05% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Stable for 1 year.
