      Purified Mouse Anti-Human MGMT
      Purified Mouse Anti-Human MGMT
      Immunoprecipitation (IP) and Western Blot analysis (WB) of MGMT in MOLT-4 cells (Left Panel).  MOLT-4 (Human T-lymphoblasts; ATCC CRL-1582) cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with the Mouse Anti-Human MGMT antibody (lane 1) or with an isotype control (lane 2). MGMT is identified as an ~25 kD band. The bands above the 25 kD MGMT band represent the heavy and light chains of the immunoprecipitating antibody. Western blot analysis of MGMT in MOLT-4 cell lysates probed with the Mouse Anti-Human MGMT antibody (lane 3) or an isotype control (lane 4).   Immunocytochemistry for MGMT (Middle and Right Panels). Cytospins of HeLa cells (Human cervical epitheloid carcinoma; ATCC CCL-2) were acetone-fixed and stained with the purified Mouse Anti-Human MGMT antibody (middle panel) or with an isotype control (right panel). MGMT staining is localized to the nucleus of the cells.

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. 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.
      3. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
      4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

      The repair of mismatched DNA is essential to maintaining the integrity of genetic information over time. The important role played by DNA repair enzymes is emphasized by the fact that they are highly conserved from bacteria to yeast to mammals. In bacteria, DNA repair involves the activity of repair enzymes including the MutL, MutH, and MutS proteins, as well as an enzyme originally identified in bacteria, and subsequently in all mammalian species, MGMT (methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase). Human MGMT is a 21 kDa protein which protects cells from the mutagenic effect of alkylating agents, which add a methyl group to the O6 position of guanine in DNA, producing O6-methylguanine. While MGMT is generally ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells, the expression levels within cell and tissue types can be quite variable. Certain tumor cell types have been identified which express neither MGMT protein or mRNA, despite the apparent normal expression of the MGMT gene. The variable expression of MGMT may be a factor in the susceptibility of cells and tissues to the mutagenic effects of alkylating agents. It has been suggested that methylation of cytosine in the MGMT gene and promoter region may correlate with the expression of the MGMT gene product.

      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.
