Description
Description: The CR55T33 monoclonal antibody recognizes phosphorylated serine 139 of human and mouse H2AX. H2AX is a member of the H2A histone family that complex with DNA and other histones to form the repeating nucleosome units characteristic of eukaryotic chromatin. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of histones composed of two each of the four histone proteins: H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. After induction of DNA damage such as double-strand breaks by irradiation, genotoxic stresses, replication errors or gene recombination, PI3K-like kinases (e.g., ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), ataxia telangiectasia Rad-3-related (ATR), and DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) are activated to phosphorylate serine 139 in H2AX. This early phosphorylation event plays a critical role in recruiting proteins involved in DNA repair. The monoclonal antibody CR55T33 recognizes a single band of approximately 15 kDa on reduced cell lysates from Jurkat cells stimulated with etoposide. Applications Reported: This CR55T33 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis, western blotting, immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections, and immunocytochemistry (fluorochrome-conjugated CR55T33 is recommended for use in intracellular flow cytometry). Applications Tested: The CR55T33 has been tested by immunocytochemistry of methanol-fixed cells and by immunohistochemistry of human tissue using either low or high pH antigen retrieval and can be used at 5 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. This CR55T33 antibody has also been tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of stimulated Jurkat cells using the Foxp3/Transcirption Factor Buffer Set (Product # 00-5523-00) and protocol. This can be used at 0.03 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Protocols: We recommend Protocol B: One-step protocol: intracellular (nuclear) proteins. Alternatively, Protocol C: Two-step protocol: Fixation/Methanol can also be used. Protocol A: Two-step protocol: intracellular (cytoplasmic) proteins cannot be used. All Protocols can be found in the "Staining intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry Protocol" located in the Best Protocols Section under the Resources tab online. eFluor® 660 is a replacement for Alexa Fluor® 647. eFluor® 660 emits at 659 nm and is excited with the red laser (633 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
