Background of ELAVL4
HuD otherwise known as ELAV-like protein 4 or PNEM is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL4 gene. This human gene is located at 1p34 by in situ hybridization. The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an RNA-binding protein. ELAVL4 has specificity for 3-prime uridylate-rich untranslated regions of growth factor mRNAs. And HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to AU-rich element-containing mRNAs. As a result of this interaction the, half-life of the transcript is increased. Also, HuD is important in neurons during brain development and plasticity.

Western blot analysis of ELAVL4 using anti-ELAVL4 antibody (PB9698).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: rat brain tissue lysates,
Lane 2: mouse brain tissue lysates,
Lane 3: U87-MG whole cell lysates,
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-ELAVL4 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9698) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for ELAVL4 at approximately 42KD. The expected band size for ELAVL4 is at 42KD.

IHC analysis of ELAVL4 using anti-ELAVL4 antibody (PB9698).
ELAVL4 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of mouse brain tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-ELAVL4 Antibody (PB9698) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen

Question
I have a question about product PB9698, anti-ELAVL4 antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
Verified Customer

Asked: 2018-11-07
Answer
We suggest not storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PB9698 anti-ELAVL4 antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question
We are currently using anti-ELAVL4 antibody PB9698 for mouse tissue, and we are content with the IHC-P results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it likely that the antibody can work on zebrafish tissues as well?
R. Zhang
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-12-23
Answer
The anti-ELAVL4 antibody (PB9698) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with zebrafish tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in zebrafish you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Asked: 2014-03-13
Answer
The immunogen of PB9698 anti-ELAVL4 antibody is A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human ELAVL4 (8-45aa MEPQVSNGPTSNTSNGPSSNNRNCPSPMQTGATTDDSK), different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid. Could you tell me which isotype you are interested in so I can help see if the immunogen is part of this isotype?
