Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant hFollistatin. Human Follistatin specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated.
ELISA: Direct: To detect hFollistatin by direct ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hFollistatin.
Sandwich To detect hFollistatin by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with our polyclonal Anti-Human Follistatin as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hFollistatin.
Western Blot: To detect hFollistatin by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μ,g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hFollistatin is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Hintergrund
Follistatin is a single-chain gonadal protein that specifically inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone release. The single FST gene encodes two isoforms, FST317 and FST344 containing 317 and 344 amino acids respectively, resulting from alternative splicing of the precursor mRNA. There is evidence linking polycystic ovary syndrome and follistatin. Follistatin binds directly to activin and functions as an activin antagonist. It specific inhibitor of the biosynthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone
