Anti-PCNA Antibody, clone PC10

产品说明

一般描述

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a 36 kDa molecule that is highly conserved between species. PCNA was first identified as the antigen for a subpopulation of autoantibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (Miyachi, 1978; Takasaki, 1984; Ogata, 1987). It has since been determined that PCNA serves as a co-factor for DNA polymerase delta in S-phase as well as during DNA synthesis associated with mechanisms involved in DNA damage repair (Tan, 1987; Bravo, 1987). The temporal specificity of PCNA expression makes it an ideal marker for cell proliferation. PCNA begins to accumulate during the G1 phase of the cell cycle, is most abundant during the S phase, and declines during the G2/M phase (Kurki, 1988). Since the half-life of PCNA exceeds 20 hours, it may be possible to detect the protein in non-cycling cells.

特异性

Clone PC10 recognizes PCNA from all vertebrate and insect species tested and has been used to identify transformed cells (Kurki, 1988), proliferating cells in solid tumors (Smetana, 1983), and blast cells in leukemia patients (Takasaki, 1984). Immunohistochemistry with clone PC10 has been used to study the expression of PCNA in paraffin sections of normal tissues and lymphoid neoplasms (Hall, 1990). In proliferating cells, PCNA staining pattern is predominantly nuclear. By western blot, the antibody detects a polypeptide migrating at 36 kDa with an isoelectric point of 4.8.

免疫原

Rat PCNA made in the protein A vector pR1T2T.
