| WB, IHC, E, I, LCI |
Application Note | Anti-KLH Antibody has been tested for western blotting to detect a single band of the expected apparent molecular weight and for ELISA. Researchers should determine optimal titers for applications that are not stated below. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | KLH (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin) |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Purity | Anti-KLH antibody was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using KLH coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum and KLH. |

Background
KLH Antibody detects Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin protein which is a very large, heterogeneous glycosylated protein consisting of subunits with a molecular weight of 350,000 and 390,000. KLH readily forms aggregates with molecular weights of 4,500,000-13,000,000 daltons. Each domain of a KLH subunit contains two copper atoms that together bind a single oxygen molecule (O2). When oxygen is bound to hemocyanin, the molecule takes on a distinctive transparent, opalescent blue color. The KLH protein is potently immunogenic yet safe in humans and is therefore highly prized as a vaccine carrier protein. The large and highly glycosylated KLH protein cannot be reproduced synthetically. It is available only as a purified biological product from the Keyhole Limpet Megathura crenulata. KLH is being tested in a variety of cancer vaccines, including non-Hodgkins lymphoma, cutaneous melanoma, breast and bladder cancer.
