Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding amino acids near the carboxyl terminus of human Pdcd4 protein.
• Purity: This affinity purified antibody is directed against human Pdcd4 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from human, mouse, rat and Xenopus based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from other sources has not been determined. The antibody reacts with Pdcd4 protein that is either phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated at Ser457.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.

• Buffer/Preservatives: 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide
• Concentration: 1.0 mg/ml
• Dry Ice Shipping: Please note: This product requires shipment on dry ice. A dry ice surcharge will apply.

ERK8 phosphorylates HuR to prevent its binding to PDCD4 mRNAA. ERK8 or control siRNA was transfected into HeLa cells for 48 h followed by treatment of cells with 0.5 mM H2O2 or PBS for 1 h. Cells were fixed and immunofluorescence was performed to monitor HuR localization. Hoechst was used to stain the nuclei. Nuclear/Cytoplasmic ratio of HuR is shown on the right. Higher ratio denotes more nuclear staining. B. Top panel: HeLa cells were treated as in (A) and cells were harvested for western blot analysis for indicated proteins. Bottom panel: Quantification of PDCD4 protein levels relative to Tubulin. C. The kinase assay was performed with immunoprecipitated Flag-HuR or Flag empty vector as substrate and HA-ERK8 kinase in the presence of 32P gamma-ATP and exposed to X-ray film. The levels of HuR and ERK8 proteins were detected by western blot analysis.
