      Purified Mouse Anti-Human Retinoblastoma Protein
      Purified Mouse Anti-Human Retinoblastoma Protein
      Western blot analysis of Rb. Lysate from MOLT-4 human leukemia cells was probed with anti-Rb (clone XZ91,  Cat. No. 554145). Clone XZ91 recognizes the phosphorylated and underphosphorylated forms of Rb (~110-116 kDa).

      Recommended Assay Procedures

      Applications include immunoprecipitation (1-2 µg/one million cells), western blot analysis (2 µg/ml) and immunofluorescence microscopy of cultured cells. Rb migrates as multiple closely-spaced bands between approximately 110-116 kD when sized on denaturing polyacrylamide gels (i.e. by SDS-PAGE). The different bands represent different Rb phosphorylation states; the higher molecular weight bands are more highly phosphorylated than the lower molecular weight bands. The level of phosphorylation is cell cycle dependent, and may also be cell type dependent (not all forms are seen in all cell types that express Rb). Polyacrylamide gel conditions influence the actual number of bands observed. In cases where optimal band separation is desired, we recommend a 4 to 20% gradient gel (≥ 12 inches long). MOLT-4 human leukemia cells (ATCC CRL-1582) are suggested as a positive control.

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
      3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

      XZ91

      The retinoblastoma gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein (Rb or p110Rb) which is expressed in most normal cells of vertebrates and acts as a tumor suppressor gene product. An underphosphorylated form of Rb is mainly found in resting or fully differentiated cells, whereas the hyperphosphorylated form is present in proliferating cells. Only the underphosphorylated form of Rb binds specifically to viral oncogenes such as SV40 large T, adenoviral E1A and HPV-E7. This interaction may partially contribute to the transforming activity of these viral oncoproteins. Rb also interacts with several cyclins including A, D and E, as well as the transcriptional activator E2F. The importance of these interactions for the biological function of Rb is still being elucidated.

      Clone XZ91 recognizes an epitope located between amino acids 444-535 of human Rb. XZ91 cross reacts with chicken and mink Rb. A recombinant carboxy-terminal truncated Rb protein (containing approximately 60 kD of the Rb coding region) was used as immunogen.

      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.
