L1/ORF2 Antibody 200-901-B20 from Rockland Immunochemicals, Inc.

Description

This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. The L1 (LINE-1), or Long INterspersed Element, retrotransposon ORF2 is the most common open reading frame in the human genome, present in various forms in many thousands of copies. This large family of proteins includes magnesium dependent endonucleases and a large number of phosphatases involved in intracellular signaling. Both intact ORF1 and ORF2 are absolutely required for autonomous retro-transposition. ORF2 encodes an endonuclease, reverse transcriptase, and zinc knuckle domains. The expression of ORF2 appears to be tightly regulated except in germ line tissues, embryonic tissues, and certain cancers including teratomas, testicular cancers, and leukemias. This antibody is intended for use in studying control of L1 retrotransposons

Catalog Number200-901-B20
Quantity100 µg
ReactivityHuman, Chimpanzee, Human
ImmunogenThis IgY fraction antibody was prepared from eggs of chickens laid after repeated immunizations with two synthetic peptides conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). The peptides correspond to regions within the endonuclease domain of L1/ORF2 protein
ApplicationsELISA,Western Blot
HostChicken
Conjugate/TagUnconjugated
ClonalityPolyclonal
PurityThis IgY fraction antibody is directed against two regions within the endonuclease domain of L1 ORF2 protein. This product is an IgY fraction antibody purified from monospecific chicken egg yolks by a multi-step process which includes selective precipitation and salt fractionation followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Reactivity occurs against human L1/ORF2 protein and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with L1/ORF2 proteins from chimpanzee sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequences, and from macaque, fruit fly, cattle, dog, opossum, and rat sources based on 69 - 88% homology with the immunizing sequences

Specifications/Features

Application Note: Anti-L1/ORF2 Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 149 kDa in size corresponding to L1 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
