Spectrin Antibody (clone RBC2/3D5)

 Mouse monoclonal antibody suitable for immunohistochemistry and western blotting.



Functional Aspects:

Labeling for spectrin is necessary to monitor membrane integrity. This antibody should be used in combination with dystrophin antibodies to ensure the membrane is intact and that the absence of dystrophin staining is real and not due to tissue freezing or handling artifact. It is intended as a positive control for muscle membranes. This clone recognizes the beta chain of spectrin in erythrocytes and muscle.
