Source:
Polyclonal antibody raised in rabbit against human MBD4 (Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4), using three different KLH-conjugated synthetic peptides
Purification:
Whole antiserum from rabbit containing 0.05% azide
Storage Buffer:
0.01M TBS(pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.02% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol.
Storage:
Store at -20°C for 12 months.
Background:
Mismatch-specific DNA N-glycosylase involved in DNA repair. Has thymine glycosylase activity and is specific for G:T mismatches within methylated and unmethylated CpG sites. Can also remove uracil or 5-fluorouracil in G:U mismatches. Has no lyase activity. Was first identified as methyl-CpG-binding protein.
VALIDATION IMAGES
To determine the titer, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the antibody directed against human MBD4 (bs-53050R) in antigen-coated wells. The wells were coated with peptides. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution, the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:15,000.
(Left) U2OS cells were transfected with an expression vector for TY1-tagged MBD4. The presence of TY1-MBD4 in the cell lysates was demonstrated by western blot analysis with the antibody against the TY1-tag (lane 1) and with the antibody against MBD4 (bs-53050R) (lane 2), diluted 1:2,000 in TBST containing 3% milk powder. (Right) Western blot was performed on nuclear extracts from the U937 human leukemic monocyte lymphoma cell line (40 μg) with the antibody against MBD4 (bs-53050R), diluted 1:2,000 in TBST containing 3% milk powder.
