An autoantibody is an antibody (a type of protein) produced by the immune system that is directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins. Many autoimmune diseases (notably lupus erythematosus) are caused by such autoantibodies.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8 and perfluorooctanoate, is a synthetic perfluorinated carboxylic acid and fluorosurfactant.FOA has widespread applications. In 1976, PFOA was reported as a water and oil repellent in fabrics and leather and in the production of floor waxes and waxed papers ; however, it is believed that paper is no longer treated with perfluorinated compounds, but with fluorotelomers with less than 0.1% PFOA.
Anti-Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) antibody is suitable for immunohistochemistry at a working antibody dilution of 1:200 to 1:1000 using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections or cryostat tissue sections. The antibody may be used for immunofluorescence at a working dilution of 1:500.
