Purified Anti-Human Cdk4 (N-Term)
Western blot analysis of Cdk4. 293 cell lysates were probed with 5 µg/ml (lane 1), 2 µg/ml (lane 2) or 0.5 µg/ml (lane 3) of anti-Cdk4 (clone DCS-35, Cat. No. 68941A). The antibody identifies Cdk4 at ~33 kDa.

Immunofluorescent staining of HeLa (ATCC CCL-2) cells. Cells were seeded in a 96 well imaging plate (Cat. No. 353219) at ~10 000 cells per well.  After overnight incubation, cells were stained using the alcohol perm protocol and the anti-Cdk4 antibody.  The second step reagent was Alexa Fluor® 555 (Invitrogen).  The image was taken on a BD Pathway™ 855 Bioimager system  using a 20x objective. This antibody also stained A549 (ATCC CCL-185) and U-2 OS (ATCC HTB-96) cells and worked with both the Triton™ X-100 and alcohol perm protocols (see Recommended Assay Procedure).

Recommended Assay Procedures

Bioimaging

1. Seed the cells in appropriate culture medium at ~10,000 cells per well in a BD Falcon™ 96-well Imaging Plate (Cat. No. 353219) and culture overnight.

2. Remove the culture medium from the wells, and fix the cells by adding 100 μl of BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) to each well.  Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT).

3. Remove the fixative from the wells, and permeabilize the cells using either BD Perm Buffer III, 90% methanol, or Triton™ X-100:

a. Add 100 μl of -20°C 90% methanol or Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) to each well and incubate for 5 minutes at RT.

     OR

b. Add 100 μl of 0.1% Triton™ X-100 to each well and incubate for 5 minutes at RT.

4. Remove the permeabilization buffer, and wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS.

5. Remove the PBS, and block the cells by adding 100 μl of BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) (Cat. No. 554656) to each well. Incubate for 30 minutes at RT.

6. Remove the blocking buffer and add 50 μl of the optimally titrated primary antibody (diluted in Stain Buffer) to each well, and incubate for 1 hour at RT.

7. Remove the primary antibody, and wash the wells three times with 100 μl of 1× PBS.

8. Remove the PBS, and add the second step reagent at its optimally titrated concentration in 50 μl to each well, and incubate in the dark for 1 hour at RT.

9. Remove the second step reagent, and wash the wells three times with 100 μl of 1× PBS.

10. Remove the PBS, and counter-stain the nuclei by adding 200 μl per well of 2 μg/ml Hoechst 33342 (e.g., Sigma-Aldrich Cat. No. B2261) in 1× PBS to each well at least 15 minutes before imaging.

11. View and analyze the cells on an appropriate imaging instrument.

DCS-35

Cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CdkIs) are essential for cell-cycle control in eukaryotes (reviewed in 1). Cyclins, regulatory subunits, bind to cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), catalytic subunits, to form active cyclin-Cdk complexes. Cdk subunits by themselves are inactive and binding to a cyclin is required for their activity. Cyclins A, B1, D and E undergo periodic synthesis and degradation, thereby providing a mechanism to regulate Cdk activity throughout the cell cycle. Additionally, Cdk activity is further regulated by activating and inhibitory phosphorylations, and small proteins (p15, p16, p18, p19, p21 and p27), called CdkIs, that bind to cyclins, Cdks, or cyclin-Cdk complexes. Cdk4 was originally called PSK-J3,2 and following demonstration of its association with D-type cyclins, became known as Cdk4.2 D-type cyclins also associate with Cdks 2 and 5, although Cdk4 appears to be the most abundant partner. The D-type cyclins (D1, D2, and D3) are expressed in response to growth factors or mitogens, and rapidly degrade when mitogens are withdrawn. D cyclins appear to promote G0 to G1 transitions and the rate of G1 progression. For example, cyclin D-Cdk4 and cyclin D-Cdk6 complexes phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) which removes the G1 phase block caused by underphosphorylated Rb. Cdk4 has a molecular weight of ~33 kD.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
