apoD antibodies
We make 2 apoD antibodies for human, unconjugated or conjugated to biotin. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.
What differs between these antibodies
Which clone
We make 2 apoD 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 apoD 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 apoD
Apolipoprotein D (apoD) is a lipocalin that binds lipids and steroid hormones. The apoD gene is expressed in many tissues, e.g. brain, testis, adrenal gland, kidney, placenta, spleen, lung, and pancreas. ApoD likely functions as a transporter of lipids or lipid hormones, and is involved in the interaction between HDL and LDL. ApoD gene polymorphisms are associated with obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and type 2 diabetes. Normal concentration of apoD in human plasma is approximately 0.05-0.15 g/L.
