Product Details

Background

Tumor suppressor that is a key regulator of the G1/S transition of the cell cycle . The hypophosphorylated form binds transcription regulators of the E2F family, preventing transcription of E2F-responsive genes . Both physically blocks E2Fs transactivating domain and recruits chromatin-modifying enzymes that actively repress transcription . Cyclin and CDK-dependent phosphorylation of RB1 induces its dissociation from E2Fs, thereby activating transcription of E2F responsive genes and triggering entry into S phase . RB1 also promotes the G0-G1 transition upon phosphorylation and activation by CDK3/cyclin-C . Directly involved in heterochromatin formation by maintaining overall chromatin structure and, in particular, that of constitutive heterochromatin by stabilizing histone methylation.

Application

To ensure optimal assay performance, AREX recommends conducting reagent titration tailored to each testing system for optimal detection results.

Data

Western blot analysis of RB1 expression in Myla2059 (A), A549 (B), A375 (C) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 106 kD; Observed band size: 120 kD)

Immunofluorescent analysis of RB1 staining in A549 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AREX® Fluor 488 -conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. Phalloidin - AREX® Fluor 594 was used to stain Actin filaments (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Storage

Store at 4°C short term. For long term storage, store at -20°C, avoiding freeze/thaw cycles.

FAQs

What are the main types of research antibodies and how do they differ?

Research antibodies are mainly divided into monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies typically offer higher specificity and better batch-to-batch consistency, while polyclonal antibodies often provide stronger affinity but may show more variation between batches. The choice depends on your specific experimental needs.

How can I tell if a research antibody is suitable for my experiment?

It is recommended to carefully review the product datasheet for validated applications, species reactivity, recommended dilutions, and published references. For new antibodies, performing a small-scale validation with positive control samples is usually helpful.

Can improper storage of research antibodies affect experimental results?

Yes. Antibodies are sensitive to temperature, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and contamination. Improper storage may lead to reduced activity, increased background, or weaker signals. It is best to follow the storage instructions provided in the product datasheet.

Why doesn’t the recommended dilution in the datasheet work well in my experiment?

The recommended dilution is based on the supplier’s test conditions. Factors such as sample type, fixation method, and detection system in your lab can influence the optimal working concentration. Performing a dilution series optimization in your own system is often necessary.

What precautions should I take when using a newly purchased research antibody for the first time?

It is advisable to briefly centrifuge the antibody (especially concentrated or lyophilized ones), then perform a small-scale pilot experiment using the recommended conditions. Recording the batch number and usage date is also helpful for future tracking.
