SEE ALSO...

ferritin heavy chain Antibody (B-12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects ferritin heavy chain (FTH) of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). anti-ferritin heavy chain antibody (B-12) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. FTH plays a crucial role in iron metabolism, primarily by catalyzing the oxidation of ferrous iron (FeII) to ferric iron (FeIII), which is essential for safe iron storage within cells. This process is vital because excess free iron can generate harmful reactive oxygen species, leading to cellular damage. By facilitating the initial step of iron storage, FTH helps maintain cellular iron homeostasis and protects against oxidative stress. Additionally, FTH is implicated in the regulation of thymidine biosynthesis, enhancing the expression of cytoplasmic serine hydroxymethyltransferase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of thymidylate, particularly in MCF-7 cells. Understanding FTH function is important not only for its role in iron storage but also for its involvement in various cellular processes, making FTH a significant target for research in iron-related disorders and cellular health.

Hi, do you have any updates on the validation of these Ab (conjugated) for flow cytometry (FC)? Are there any publications where these Ab were used for FC?

Asked by: OA___
Thank you for your question. It would be helpful if you could call 800-457-3801, allowing for a more interactive discussion of this and other related questions.

Has this antibody been tested for Flow cytometry? At SCBT or any other published literature?

Asked by: sbagla
Thank you for your question. The unconjugated antibody has not yet been tested in that application. The conjugated primary antibody is recommended and warrantied for flow cytometry (FCM), however we are still gathering data to show on our website. Check back for updates!

I wonder how was this antibody validated to not cross react with Ferritin light chain?, has it been tried to be plotted with ferritin composed out of only light chain (like Ferritin from spleen)? I would like to use it in sandwich ELISA

Asked by: Zaher
Thank you for your question. This monoclonal antibody is raised against an antigen that is specific to the ferritin heavy chain, and is not expected to cross-react with ferritin light chain. We have not tested this antibody in spleen.

Hello, I would like to know if this antibody can be used to detect rat ferritin heavy chain? Thank you.

Asked by: Teddy Chen
Thank you for your question. We have not yet tested our monoclonal antibody, ferritin heavy chain (B-12): sc-376594, to confirm reactivity with rat samples. However, it is very likely that the antibody would react with rat ferritin heavy chain based on roughly 92% sequence identity shared between the immunogen and the published protein sequence for rat (accession: P19132). We are offering a free 10 µg sample of this antibody for a limited time. Please contact our Technical Service Department if you would like a sample to test the antibody in rat. Please call our European Support office toll-free at 00800 4573 8000, email europe@scbt.com, or contact us by live chat.

Does this antibody (B12) cross-react with the ferritin light chain ?

Asked by: sv24
Thank you for your question. We do not expect this antibody, ferritin heavy chain Antibody (B-12): sc-376594, to cross-react with the ferritin light chain. The immunogen used to develop the antibody does not share significant sequence identity with the ferritin light chain protein. However, the exact epitope recognized by this monoclonal antibody has not been determined.
