The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with PE under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated PE and unconjugated antibody.
Concentration:
0.2 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.25 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes:
Galectin-3 will work for either FC or ICFC applications depending on whether it is on the surface or located intracellularly.

Galectin-3 (galactose-specific lectin 3) is a 30-32 kD glycoprotein, also known as Mac-2, Gal-3, RL-29, galactose-specific lectin 3, CBP-35, L-34, and εBP. It is a member of the animal β-galactoside-binding lectin family that is expressed in the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, or extracellular matrix by variety of tumor cells, monocytes/macrophages, epithelial cells, Kupffer cells, and dendritic cells. Galectin-3 contains carbohydrate recognition domains and binds to β-galactoside residues bearing glycoproteins, such as as IgE, IgA, galactose, casein kinase I, laminin, mucin, LAMPs, and CD66. Galectin-3 is an adhesion molecule and plays an important role in regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and tumor cell metastasis. Structurally, Galectin-3 possesses NWGR motif that is conserved in the BH-1 domain of the BCL-2 family and functions as an anti-apoptotic molecule.

PE anti-mouse/human Galectin-3 (Mac-2)
Human peripheral blood monocytes intracellular stained with Gal397 PE
Purified anti-mouse/human Galectin-3 (Mac-2)
HeLa cell extracts were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with purified monoclonal anti-galectin-3 antibody (clone Gal397). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-mouse-IgG secondary conjugated to HRP and chemiluminescence detection.
