Anti-Lamin A Antibody, CT, a.a. 598-611, clone 133A2

Description

• General description: Nuclear lamins form a network of filaments at the nucleoplasmic site of the nuclear membrane. Two main subtypes of nuclear lamins can be distinguished: A-type lamins and B-type lamins. The A-type lamins comprise a set of three proteins arising from the same gene by alternative splicing, i.e. lamin A, lamin C and lamin Adel 10, while the B-type lamins include two proteins arising from two distinct genes, i.e. lamin B1 and lamin B2.
• Specificity: Monoclonal 133A2 reacts against human lamin A but not lamin C. The epitope lies with the 98 amino acids of the C terminus that is unique to lamin A. Specifically deletion analysis has shown that amino acids 598-611 were essential for reactivity {Hozak, P et.al. (1995), J. Cell Sci 635-644}.
• Immunogen: Epitope: C-terminus, a.a. 598-611
• Application: Immunoblotting: Lamin A detected as a 70kDa protein under reduced conditions. Immunocytochemistry on fixed cells (methanol/acetone fixation) Immunohistochemistry on frozen tissue sections. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
