Purified Rat anti-Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8 (pS465/pS467)
Analyses of Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8 (pS465/pS467) expression.      Western blot analyses of Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8 (pS465/pS467) expression by Ramos cells (Left Panel) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC; Middle Panel). Lysates were prepared from Ramos cells (20 µg total protein/lane) or PBMC (1 million cells/lane) that were cultured overnight in media containing 0.1% FBS and then either not treated (C) or treated (T) with Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (BMP-6; R&D Systems, Cat. No. 507-BP; 500 ng/ml, 15 min, 37°C). The lysates were electrophoresed, transferred to a membrane and blotted using Purified Rat anti-Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8 (pS465/pS467) antibody (at 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 µg/ml for Lanes 1, 2, 3, respectively), HRP Goat Anti-Rat Ig (Cat. No. 554017) and a chemiluminescent detection system. Phosphorylated Smad1 and Smad8 were identified as ~60 kDa bands by Western blotting.      Flow cytometric analysis of Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8 (pS465/pS467) expressed by PBMC (Right Panel). PBMC were cultured overnight in media containing 0.1% FBS and then either not treated (dashed line histogram) or treated with BMP-6 (500 ng/ml, 15 min, 37°C; solid line histogram). Cells were fixed in 1X BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer (Cat. No. 558049; 10 min, 37˚C) and permeabilized in BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050; 30 min, on ice). Cells were then stained with BD Phosflow™ PE Rat anti-Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8 (pS465/pS467) (Cat. No. 562509) and Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD20 (Cat. No. 558054) antibodies. Fluorescence histograms showing Smad1 and Smad8 phosphorylation were generated for CD20-positive gated events with the forward and side-light scatter characteristics of intact cells using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer System.      Note: For all analyses shown, PBMC were isolated from freshly drawn EDTA blood.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Recommended Assay Procedures

In human PBMC, overnight serum starvation was found to be necessary for detection of a BMP-6-induced increase in Smad1/8 phosphorylation. Serum starvation for 1 hour following PBMC isolation was not sufficient to reduce basal levels of Smad1 (pS463/pS465)/Smad8(pS465/pS467).  Some donor variation was observed in the reduction of basal phosphorylation by overnight serum starvation.

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.

N6-1233

The N6-1233 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the Smad1 protein phosphorylated at the Ser463/465 sites and the Smad8 protein phosphorylated at the Ser465/467 sites. Smad1 and Smad8 are ~60 kDa proteins and are members of the Smad superfamily. The Smad family members are divided into three subfamilies: receptor regulated Smads or R-Smads, including Smads1, 2, 3, 5, and 8; common partner Smad, or Co-Smad, including Smad4; and inhibitory Smads, or I-Smad, including Smads 6 and 7. Activation of Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily serine/threonine kinase receptors, such as TGF-beta and Bone Morphogenic  Protein (BMP) receptors, leads to the phosphorylation of R-Smads at several sites. It has been shown that Ser463 and Ser465 of Smad1 are phosphorylated by BMP receptors. In B cells and pre-B cells, BMP-6 has been shown to induce Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation and inhibit cell proliferation. Phosphorylated R-Smads form complexes with Co-Smad and translocate into the nucleus to regulate transcription affecting a wide range of critical processes including cell-fate determination, proliferation, morphogenesis, differentiation and apoptosis. The inhibitory Smads inhibit this pathway through two potential mechanisms: either by preventing R-Smads from binding to their corresponding receptors and/or by competing with Smad4, the Co-Smad, from binding to R-Smads. This antibody may crossreact with Smad5 pS463/pS465 based on sequence homology.

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.
