• Target description: Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (UniProt: P13569; also known as CFTR, ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 7, Channel conductance-controlling ATPase, cAMP-dependent chloride channel) is encoded by the CFTR (also known as ABCC7) gene (Gene ID: 1080) in human. CFTR is a multi-pass membrane protein with seven cytoplasmic domains, twelve transmembrane domains, and six extracellular domains. CFTR is an epithelial ion channel that plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial ion and water transport and fluid homeostasis. It mediates the transport of chloride ions across the cell membrane. This channel is also reported to be permeable to bicarbonate ions. Its channel activity is coupled to ATP hydrolysis. It is shown to play an important role in airway fluid homeostasis and contributes to the regulation of the pH and the ion content of the airway surface fluid layer and thereby has an important role in defense against pathogens. CFTR channel is internalized from the cell surface into an endosomal recycling compartment, from where it is recycled to the cell membrane. Mutations in CFTR gene are reported to cause Cystic fibrosis that is characterized by chronic bronchopulmonary disease with recurrent respiratory infections and pancreatic insufficiency. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 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.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: 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.
