Purified Mouse Anti-p54 [nrb]
Western blot analysis of p54 [nrb] on a Jurkat lysate. Lane 1: 1:2500, lane 2: 1:5000, lane 3: 1:10000 dilution of the p54 [nrb] antibody.
Purified Mouse Anti-p54 [nrb]
Immunofluorescent staining of A549 (ATCC CCL-185) 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-p54 [nrb] antibody.  The second step reagent was FITC goat anti mouse Ig (Cat. No. 554001).  The image was taken on a BD Pathway™ 855 Bioimager using a 20x objective.  This antibody also stained HeLa (ATCC CCL-2) and U-2 OS (ATCC HTB-96) cells using 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.

3/p54nrb

Splicing, the removal of introns from pre-mRNA, is mediated by spliceosomal complexes that contain multiple snRNPs and a number of non-snRNP splicing factors, such as hPRP17 and hPRP18. p54 [nrb] (nuclear RNA-binding protein, 54 kDa) is a non-snRNP RNA splicing factor. It binds and enhances the activity of topoisomerase I, the enzyme that nicks DNA to relieve torsional stress during replication and transcription. p54 [nrb] is the the human homolog of mouse NonO and bovine IPEB. The N-terminal half of p54 [nrb] contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), that allow it to bind single stranded RNA. These motifs are included in a region that is 71% homologous with the human splicing factor PSF and 42% homologous with the Drosophila puff-specific protein BJ6. In addition to its role in RNA splicing, p54 [nrb] functions as a DNA transcription factor in multiple cell types. The N-terminal portion of p54 [nrb] also mediates its interaction with DNA. The ability of p54 [nrb] to bind DNA, but not RNA, is thought to require post-translational modification. Thus, p54 [nrb] can function as either an RNA splicing factor or a DNA transcription factor in a post-translational-dependent manner.

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.
