This mAb recognises a protein of 134 kDa, which binds fibroblast growth factor and E-selectin (cell-adhesion lectin on endothelial cells mediating the binding of neutrophils). Fucosylation is essential for binding to E-selectin. It contains sialic acid residues and 16 Cys-rich GLG1 repeats. This mAb can be used to stain the Golgi complex in cell or tissue preparations and can be used as a Golgi marker in subcellular fractions. It produces a diffuse staining pattern of the Golgi zone in normal and malignant cells. This mAb is an excellent marker for human cells in xenographic model research. It reacts specifically with human cells. The Golgi apparatus is an organelle present in all eukaryotic cells that forms a part of the endomembrane system. The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package macromolecules synthesised by the cell for exocytosis or use within the cell. The Golgi is made up of a stack of flattened, membrane-bound sacs known as cisternae, with three functional regions: the cis face, medial region and trans face. Each region consists of various enzymes that selectively modify the macromolecules passing though them, depending on where they are destined to reside. Several spherical vesicles that have budded off of the Golgi are present surrounding the main cisternae. The Golgi tends to be more pronounced and numerous in cells that make and secrete many substances such as plasma B cells.

Flow Cytometry: 0,5-1 µg/million cells in 0,1 ml Immunofluorescence: 0,5 - 1 µg/ml Immunocytochemistry (Acetone or paraformaldehyde fixed): 0,5 - 1 µg/ml for 30 min Western blot: 0,5-1,0 µg/ml Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0,5 - 1 µg/ml for 30 min at RT (1) Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2) Optimal dilution of the Golgi Marker antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Citrate buffer, pH 6,0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimised for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
