ANTI-JAGGED 1

Anti-Jagged 1 antibody may be used for ELISA at a working antibody concentration of 0.5-1.0 μg/ml. For immunoblotting, antibody concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/ml is recommended. For flow cytometry, a concentration of 20 μg/ml (10 μL/10⁵ cells to 10⁶ cells) may be used. The antibody is suitable for neutralization assays (ND50 is ~2-10 μg/ml).

Notch signaling is a well conserved among the metazoans and is a regulator of growth, differentiation, and patterning processes. One of the ligands of Notch family receptors is Jagged. Mammalian Jagged family comprises of Jagged-1 and Jagged-2. Jagged proteins are expressed during the critical stages of embryonic and postnatal development. The Notch-Jagged signaling regulates the proliferation of endothelial cells, apoptosis, differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors, skeletal development and formation and differentiation of blood vessels. Notch-jagged pathway components play important role in the pathology of diseases like Alagille syndrome, CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy) and osteosarcoma. Anti-Jagged 1 antibody specifically recognizes rat Jagged-1.
