Catalog / apoA1 antibodies

apoA1 antibodies

We make 4 apoA1 antibodies for 2 species, unconjugated or conjugated to biotin. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.

Rather use a ready-made kit? See our apoA1 ELISA kits.

What differs between these antibodies

Which species they are for

Available for Human and Mouse. The species decides which clones there are, so it is the first thing to choose. Many also cross-react with related species, so if you work in one we do not list here, check the reactivity on the product page.

Which clone

We make 4 apoA1 antibody clones. A clone is one specific antibody that binds one site on its target, so it is what you cite or reorder by name. A sandwich assay needs two clones that bind different sites; the capture and detection pairs below are matched for that.

Which conjugate

Unconjugated antibodies carry no label. You coat a plate with them as the capture antibody, or use them where the antibody itself is the reagent. Biotinylated antibodies are detected with a streptavidin conjugate, such as streptavidin-ALP or streptavidin-HRP.

Capture and detection pairs

To build your own apoA1 ELISA or ELISpot, coat with the unconjugated capture antibody and detect with the biotinylated detection antibody, then a streptavidin conjugate. These are the same pairs our own kits use.

About apoA1

Apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) is the main protein component of high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL). ApoA1 (28 kD) is mainly produced in the liver and exported into circulation where it acquires lipids and becomes HDL. A high level of apoA1 is considered protective against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. The normal concentration of apoA1 in human plasma is approximately 0.8-2.2 g/L.
