Product Description: Rat monoclonal antibody to latent nuclear antigen (LNA-1) ORF-73 of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). This antibody originates from ascites fluid and is purified by protein G agarose chromatography.

Hybridoma Clone: LN 53

Fill Volume: Varies by lot.

Protein Concentration: [varies by lot] mg/mL determined by BCA Assay. Alternative methods for determining protein concentration may give different results.

Presentation: Purified IgG supplied in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.1% Thimerosal

Isotype: IgG2c

Purity: > 95% pure as estimated by analysis of Coomassie blue stained SDS-PAGE.

IFA Titer: Varies by lot.

Functional Activity: Reactive with latent protein ORF-73 of human herpesvirus 8 or HHV-8 positive cells. Reactive in IFA  with the nucleus of infected cells, ELISA, immunoprecipitation of specific viral protein, Western blot, and flow cytometry. Reactive in immunohistochemistry using paraffin-embedded sections from KS, PEL, and MCD patients.   Recommended use dilution: 1:1000 for IHC staining.

IHC Procedural Notes: For the demonstration of LNA-1 by IHC staining in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, perform antigen retrieval by heating in microwave oven in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 20 minutes.  Recommended buffer is CitraPlus Solution (BioGenex, San Ramon, CA, USA, www.biogenex.net).
