DEFB4 polyclonal antibody Background :
β-defensins (also designated BD, and hBD in human) are small cationic peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Produced in mucosal epithelia and neutrophils of several species, β-defensins are developmentally regulated. Unlike the other previously described human β-defensins, human β-defensin 4 (hBD-4) expression is restricted to a few tissues, with highest expression in testis. A restricted pattern is also exhibited by mouse β-defensin 4. Rat β-defensin 4 (also desiganated BD-4, RBD-4, BD-2, and RBD-2) is developmentally regulated in the lung and is predominantly expressed in the lung and, to a lesser extent, in the trachea and tongue. It exhibits a regulation pattern similar to that of specific genes involved in host defense around the time of birth. The selectivity in both expression pattern and antimicrobial activity of human β-defensin 4 suggests that it is best suited to act at the epithelial locations where it is expressed. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
