- Description
- Description: The monoclonal mAID-2 recognizes human and mouse AID (gene AICDA) also known as Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase. AID is a 24 kDa RNA-editing enzyme that converts cytosine into uracil. It plays a critical role during B cell development, specifically in somatic hypermutation (SHM) and immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR). Changes in levels of AID expression typically present with disease. For example, mutations in AID are found in Hyper-IgM Syndrome (type 2), a disease form without opportunistic infections, while overexpression correlates with poor prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. AID is expressed mainly by activated mature B cells such as mature germinal centre (GC) B cells but also in intermediate GC cells (defined as IgD+CD38-CD23-CD71+). In addition to hematopoietic cells, AID is expressed in primary human hepatocellular carcinomas, helicobacter infected gastric epithelial cells, oocytes and embryonic stem cells although it role in these cells is not well understood. Because AID contains an NLS (nuclear localization signal), expression can be found both in the nucleus as well as in the cytoplasm. Applications Reported: This mAID-2 antibody has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB), immunohistologic staining of frozen tissue sections, and immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections. Applications Tested: This mAID-2 antibody has been tested by western blot and/or immunohistochemistry on FFPE sections using either low or high pH antigen retrieval. This can be used at less than or equal to 20 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

- Fig 3 IgA switching activity correlates with reduction of HBV transcripts in B cells. (A, B, C, D) pPB and GFP expression vectors were transiently co-transfected into a mouse B cell line (CH12F3-2). Six hours after transfection, cells were divided into two groups and stimulated with (or without) CD40 ligand, IL-4, and TGF-beta1 (CIT) for 3 days to induce IgA switching; (A) Schematic diagram of experimental design; (B) Nucleocapsid formation was measured using NAGE assays and GFP expression was used to confirm transfection. (C) HBV transcripts and AID expression levels were determined using qRT-PCR. (D) AID dependent IgA switching was determined using flow cytometry. (E, F, G, H) CH12F3-2 cells were co-transfected with pPB and the indicated siRNA against mouse AID (simAID-1 and -2) or controls (siCtrl and siGFP), and after 6 hours incubation, cells were further stimulated with CIT for 3 days. HBV transcript levels, knock down efficiency of AID, and IgA switching were determined using qRT-PCR, western blotting, and flow cytometry, respectively. (I, J, K) A tetracycline promoter-regulating HBV plasmid (pTre-HBV) was stably transfected into CH12F3-2 transfectants expressing tetracycline-responsible transactivator (Tet-off).

Six hours after transfection of pPB, Huh7 cells were treated with TGF-beta1 for 3 days, and HBV replication was evaluated. (A) qRT-PCR shows dose-dependent reduction of HBV transcripts by TGF-beta1. (B) NC-DNA levels in secreted virions were also measured using qPCR. (C) Nucleocapsid NC-DNA and core protein levels in crude cytoplasmic extracts were assessed using NAGE assays. GAPDH protein levels in the same crude extracts were determined using western blotting. (D) Huh7 cells were treated with 150 ng/mL IL-4 or 10 ng/ml TGF-beta1 for 3 days. Levels of HBV RNA and GAPDH mRNA were determined by Northern blot. Control: non-stimulated Huh7 cells. (E) Relative expression levels of APOBEC deaminases in non-stimulated Huh7 cells; Relative expression levels were determined using qPCR with cDNA from non-stimulated Huh7 cells and standard curves of control APOBEC deaminase DNA. Relative copy numbers of A3B were defined as one. (F) Induction of APOBEC deaminase expression in TGF-beta1-treated Huh7 cells was estimated using qRT-PCR. Fold induction of APOBEC deaminases is shown in the top (10 ng/mL TGF-beta1 for 24 or 48 h) and bottom (10 or 20 ng/mL TGF-beta1 for 24 h) panels.

Partially redundant HBV genomic DNA is shown as black boxes and the positions of 5'-epsilon and 3'-epsilon are shown. Open reading frames corresponding to C, P, S, and X genes are shown as open boxes. The position of the frame-shift mutation in the mutant replicon plasmid (pPB-DeltaP) is indicated as an open triangle. This frame-shift mutation results in loss of the C-terminal portion (polymerase and RNase H domains) from the P protein; pCMV, CMV promoter. (B) Schematic diagram of P protein domain structure; (C) Replicon plasmid (pPB or pPB-DeltaP) and GFP fusion expression vectors (mock, AID, and p19-mutant AID) were transfected into Huh7 cells, and after four days, AID-mediated downregulation of HBV transcripts was compared between two replicon plasmids or between wild-type and p19 mutant AID using northern blotting. Expression of HBV core and GFP fusion proteins (mock, AID, and p19-mutant AID) was confirmed using SDS-PAGE and western blotting. (D) Wild-type replicon plasmid (pPB) and indicated protein expression vectors (FLAG-P, FLAG-PDeltaC, or AID) were transfected into Huh7 cells. Three days later, physical associations between AID and FLAG-P (or FLAG-PDeltaC) proteins were determined using immunoprecipitation (IP). In lane 9, crude extract was incubated with RNase A be

Crude extracts (input) were then subjected to IP using an anti-FLAG antibody, and crude extracts and IP fractions were analyzed using western blotting. (C) Fold enrichment of HBV or HPRT transcripts upon anti-FLAG-Exosc3 IP; To determine RNA coprecipitation with the RNA exosome component Exosc3, Huh7 cells were transfected with pPB, pFLAG-Exosc3, and pCMV-AID (or pEGFP-C2), and were cultivated for 3 days. IP using anti-FLAG antibody was then performed, complexes of FLAG-Exosc3 were then eluted using free FLAG peptides, and the eluted RNA was analyzed using qRT-PCR. Combination of expression vectors used for transfection is the same with B (see numbers below the graph), and values in lane 3 were defined as 1. Error bars represent standard errors of the mean. (D) Associations of AID with RNA exosome proteins; Huh7 cells were co-transfected with indicated expression vectors, and were cultured for 3 days. Crude extracts (input) were subjected to IP with FLAG antibody, and crude extracts and IP fractions were analyzed using western blotting. Expression levels of GFP-Exosc7 were too low to be visualized in the crude extract (lanes 4 and 9, input), but GFP-Exosc7 was clearly detectable after FLAG-AID and FLAG-Exosc3 immunoprecipitation (lanes 4 and 9, IP).

- Experimental details
- Human AID is sensitive to HSP90 inhibition in normal and transformed B cells . A. Human B cells were purified from blood or tonsils, activated with IL-4 and sCD40L and 3 days later (t0) treated with 2 muM 17-AAG (+) or DMSO (-) for 24 h and analyzed by western blot using anti-AID and beta-actin as loading control. The experiment was performed with six different donors; one representative blot of each is shown. Right , AID to actin ratio in treated cells is plotted as % of the same ratio in the corresponding untreated sample, as determined by densitometry. B. BL cell lines EL1BL, Daudi and Ramos that constitutively express endogenous AID were treated with 8 muM 17-AAG for 24 h and AID levels analyzed by Western blot, as in (A) including densitometry of each sample ( Left ) or by intracellular staining and flow cytometry, with the reduction (%) in AID levels after treatment with 17-AAG indicated for each sample ( Right ). One representative out of two independent experiments is shown for each technique. C. AID levels were analyzed by intracellular staining and flow cytometry in PBMCs from three CLL patients activated with IL-4 and sCD40L and 3 days later treated with 8 muM 17-AAG or DMSO for 24 h. The reduction (%) in AID levels after treatment with 17-AAG indicated for each sample. One representative plot from each patient is shown.
