Preparation And Storage
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.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- This antibody has been developed and certified for the bioimaging application. However, a routine bioimaging test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance.

Splicing, the removal of introns from pre-mRNA, is mediated by spliceosomal complexes and occurs in two distinct catalytic steps. The first step involves cleavage of the 5' exon and the production of a lariat intermediate. In the second step, the 3'-splice site is cleaved and the exons are fused with concomitant release of the intron lariat. The spliceosome contains multiple snRNPs and a number of non-snRNP splicing factors. CDC5L is a non-snRNP component of the splicesome that is homologous to the yeast Cdc5 protein. The sequence for CDC5L contgains a helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain (DBD), four nuclear localization signals, and a hydrophilic, proline-rich central region that is similar to the transcriptional activating domain in Myb family transcription factors. CDC5L can interact with the nuclear PP1 inhibitor NIPP-1 and the WD40 domain protein PLRG1. Both of these interactions are critical for pre-mRNA splicing and may also be important for G 2/M phase transition. In addition, CDC5L translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in the presence of serum. Thus, CDC5L localization and splicesome-regulating activity may be controlled by mitogen-activated signal transduction pathways.
