Purified Mouse Anti-Human Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein
Western Blot analysis of WASP in human histiocytic lymphoma. Lysate from U937 cells (ATCC CRL-1593.2) was probed with Mouse anti-Human WASP monoclonal antibody at titrations of 0.5 (lane 1), 0.25 (lane 2), and 0.125 µg/ml (lane 3).  WASP is identified as a band of 60 kDa.

5A5

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding WAS protein (WASP).  The disease is characterized by a spectrum of clinical signs, including thrombocytopenia, eczema, susceptibility to opportunistic and pyogenic infections, and B-cell lymphomas associated with Epstein-Barr virus.  Furthermore, patients' blood cells display morphological abnormalities that can be associated with an impaired cytoskeleton.  WASP is a member of a family of highly conserved proteins that link signaling pathways to the actin cytoskeleton.  These members include WASP, N-WASP (neuronal), and SCAR/WAVE isoforms (Suppressor of cAMP Receptor/WASP family Verprolin-homologous protein) that share two main regions of homology: a proline-rich domain and a carboxyl terminal domain that binds to the Arp2/3 complex.  The Arp2/3 complex initiates actin filament assembly in motile cells and formation of the immunological synapse between activated T lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells.  WASP is a central regulator of the actin cytoskeleton in hematopoietic cells that is itself regulated by multiple signaling pathways.

The 5A5 antibody recognizes human WASP; it does not cross react with N-WASP.  It has been reported to detect WASP in lysates of hematopoietic cells and cell lines, except for neutrophils, from normal donors, but not from a group of patients having mutations of the WAS gene.

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.
