What Is SPA17 and Why Is It a Research Target?

SPA17 (Sperm Autoantigenic Protein 17) is a protein originally identified in sperm cells and subsequently detected in various somatic tissues and certain cancer cell lines. It is reported to play roles in cell motility, signal transduction scaffolding, and has been investigated in the context of cancer biology and reproductive immunology. Antibodies targeting SPA17 are therefore valuable tools for researchers studying fertility, tumor immunology, and cell biology.

Product Formulation and Storage Recommendations

The SPA17 Antibody (Ab350736) is supplied exclusively in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) without additional stabilizers or preservatives stated in the current product description. Users should follow general best practices for antibody storage: aliquot the antibody upon receipt to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, store long-term at -20°C or -80°C, and keep working aliquots at 4°C for short-term use. Do not store in a frost-free freezer. Always centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents at the bottom.

Note: Specific concentration, volume, and storage temperature details should be confirmed on the product datasheet or by contacting Aladdin Scientific technical support, as these details were not fully specified in the current source material.

Recommended Applications and Usage Guidelines

SPA17 Antibody is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Common antibody applications that may be suitable for this reagent include Western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); however, users must verify validated applications from the official product datasheet (absea#OC-525) before experimental use. Optimal working dilutions should be determined empirically by the end user for each specific application and sample type.

Note: Validated application data should be confirmed directly on the product datasheet; applications listed here represent commonly supported formats for antibodies of this class and are not guaranteed without datasheet confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formulation of the SPA17 Antibody (Ab350736)?

The SPA17 Antibody (Ab350736) is formulated in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) only, as indicated by the product description. No additional preservatives or carrier proteins are specified in the current source material; please confirm full formulation details on the official product datasheet or by contacting Aladdin Scientific technical support.

What applications is the SPA17 Antibody validated for?

Validated applications for Ab350736 should be confirmed on the official product datasheet (supplier reference absea#OC-525), as the current abbreviated product description does not enumerate specific applications. Common research antibody applications include WB, IHC, IF, and ELISA, but suitability must be verified before experimental use.

How should I store the SPA17 Antibody to maintain its activity?

As a general best practice for PBS-formulated antibodies, aliquot the SPA17 Antibody upon receipt to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store long-term aliquots at -20°C or -80°C and keep short-term working aliquots at 4°C. Avoid storing in a frost-free freezer. Always verify specific storage instructions on the product datasheet.

Is the SPA17 Antibody suitable for diagnostic or clinical use?

No. The SPA17 Antibody (Ab350736) is strictly for research use only (RUO) and has not been approved or validated for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical procedures. It should only be used by qualified research personnel in a laboratory setting.

How do I order the SPA17 Antibody from Aladdin Scientific?

You can order the SPA17 Antibody by searching for SKU Ab350736 on the Aladdin Scientific website and proceeding through the standard online checkout. For bulk quantities, special pricing, or procurement assistance, please contact the Aladdin Scientific sales or customer service team directly.
