ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Laminin subunit b1 (UniProt: P07942; also known as Laminin B1 chain, Laminin-1 subunit beta) is encoded by the LAMB1 gene (Gene ID: 3912) in human. Laminins are the major non-collagenous constituent of basement membranes that participate in wide variety of biological processes, including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. They are a family of heterotrimeric extracellular glycoproteins consisting of α, β, and γ chains that are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule comprising one long and three short arms with globules at each end.  Laminins mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Thus far five α, three β, and three γ subunits are described that assemble into at least 15 different laminin molecules. Different α, β, and γ chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms, which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery. Laminin- β1 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-21), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form. It is expressed in most tissues that produce basement membranes and is one of the 3 chains constituting laminin 1. It is shown to be involved in the organization of the laminar architecture of cerebral cortex and is probably required for the integrity of the basement membrane/glia limitans that serves as an anchor point for the end feet of radial glial cells and as a physical barrier to migrating neurons. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.(Ref.: Radmanesh, F., et al. (2013). Am. J. Hum. Genet. 92(3); 468-474; Virtanen, I., et al. (1995). J. Histochem. Cytochem. 43(6); 621-628).

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

0.3 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
