• Specificity: Clone 11D19 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects IkBa phosphorylated on serine 32.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 10 amino acids surrounding phosphoserine 32 from human IkBa.
• Application: Quality Control TestingEvaluated by Western Blotting in lysate from HeLa cells treated with TNF- .Western Blotting Analysis (WB): A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected IkB in lysate from overnight starved HeLa cells treated with TNF- (100 ng/mL), but not in untreated cells.Tested applications Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected a construct containing GST-tagged recombinant IkBa protein fragment phosphorylated on Ser32 but did not detect in non-phosphorylated construct. (Phospho- IkBa construct: Courtesy of Dr. Jesse Rinehart, Yale University, School of Medicine).Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound phospho-IkB -Ser32 with a KD of 6.9 x 10-7 in an affinity binding assay.Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected phospho- IkB -Ser32 in HeLa cells.Peptide Inhibition Assay: Target band detection in a construct containing GST-tagged recombinant IkBa protein fragment phosphorylated on Ser32 was prevented by pre-blocking of a representative lot with the immunogen phosphopeptide, but not the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.Flow Cytometry Analysis: 0.1 μg from a representative lot detected phospho-IkB -Ser32 in one million HeLa cells.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
• Target description: NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha (UniProt: P25963; also known as I-kappa-B-alpha, IkB-alpha, IkappaB alpha, Major histocompatibility complex enhancer-binding protein MAD3) is encoded by the NFKBIA (also known as IKBA, MAD3, NFKBI) gene (Gene ID: 4792) in human. IkBa is known to inhibit the activity of dimeric NF-kB/REL complexes by trapping Rel dimers in the cytoplasm through masking of their nuclear localization signals. In most resting cells, NF-kB is sequestered in the cytoplasm in an inactive form associated with IkBa, which blocks the ability of NF-kB translocate to the nucleus. However, following exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines, UV light, reactive oxygen species, or bacterial and viral toxins, IkBa is phosphorylated by IkB kinases (IKK) on serine 32 and 36 that allows its polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. This unmasks the nuclear localization signal of NF-kB and allows it to translocate to the nucleus where it binds to NF-kB response elements in target genes and regulates their transcription. In the nucleus, it can bind to NF-kB and facilitate its nuclear export. IkB can shuttle between the cytoplasm and nucleus through its nuclear import signal (aa 111-120) and nuclear export signal (aa 45-54). This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
