Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Animals were immunized with a synthetic polypeptide with the sequence LVADCWKKVKEERPLF corresponding to peptides 584 to 599 of the RAF-1 oncogene (formerly v-raf residues 255 to 270).
In ELISA testing, the antibody cross reacts with the homologous region of MET, sea, ros, src, SRC, yes, PKS, FMS, HIR, lck, kit. Weak activity was detected for FGR, c-mos, v-mos, MOS, erb-B, v-fms. In immunoblot testing, proteins of approximately 80 and 100 kd are detected in fms transformed 3T3 cells. The IgM and IgG2b reactivities of the antibody with the RAF-1 peptide (584 to 599) were confirmed by ELISA. IgM was strongly positive while IgG2b was negative.
