Thymidylate Synthase antibody

• Catalog Number: orb345029
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Thymidylate Synthase antibody
• Species/Host: Sheep
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Tested applications: ELISA, IF, IHC, WB
• Reactivity: Human
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: Anti-THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE was purified from rabbit serum after repeated immunizations with recombinant human Thymidylate Synthase (36 kDa) produced in E.coli.
• Concentration: 1 mg/ml
• Dilution range: ELISA: 1:10,000 - 1:50,000, IHC: User Optimized, IF: User Optimized, WB: 1:500 - 1:2,000
• Form/Appearance: Liquid (sterile filtered)
• Purity: Anti-THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE IgG fraction is directed against human Thymidylate Synthase and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. Because inhibition of Thymidylate Synthase prevents DNA synthesis and cell proliferation, the enzyme is an important target for cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, specifically the fluoropyrimidine group of antineoplastic drugs used to treat solid tumors. In general, this antibody can detect antigen in a variety of human cells and tissues, as well as bacteria, African green monkey, rat and mouse. Somewhat lower dilutions may be required in some non-human cell lines. Anti-Thymidylate Synthase can detect Thymidylate Synthase by immunochemistry in proliferating cell cultures and tissues but does not stain nonproliferating cells. Normal colon mucosa shows weak staining; however, some colorectal cancer specimens show very strong staining.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• UniProt ID: P04818
• NCBI: P04818.3
• 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
• Alternative names: sheep anti-Thymidylate Synthase Antibody, d TMP sy
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: THYMIDYLATE SYNTHASE antibody has been tested by western blot. This antibody is suitable for use in ELISA, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. The antibody recognizes the expected additional band corresponding to the ternary complex of hTS-dFUMP-reduced folate in HeLa cells treated with the TS inhibitor 5-FUdR. This event occurs in most human breast, colorectal, gastric, head and neck carcinomas. The antibody recognizes the 36,000 MW hTS. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown.
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
