Background :
12B11F8 is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody derived by fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the extreme carboxyterminal amino acid residues 779-793 (KLHRDFRAKGYRKED) of human plakophilin-3 coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin

Source :
Plakophilin-3 is an Armadillo-like protein present in nuclei and desmosomes of epithelial cells. The expression pattern of this protein seems to be largely restricted to epithelial cell types. Plakophilin-3 can be detected along cell borders in a punctuate staining pattern typical for desmosomal proteins. In addition to the desmosomal immunolocalisation, immunostaining was observed as bright nuclear speckles. Thus, like plakophilin-1 and-2, plakophilin-3 displays a dual intracellular localisation in the desmosomal plaque and in the cell nucleus, and therefore is probably involved in signal transduction pathways between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. The human protein has a predicted molecular mass of 87 kD. <

Product :
Each vial contains 100 ul 1 mg/ml purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide. Formulation: Each vial contains 100 ul 1 mg/ml purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Specificity :
12B11F8 reacts with an epitope loCated between residues 779-793 in Human plakophilin-3.

Applications :
12B11F8 is suitable for immunocytochemistry (methanol-fixed cells), immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues, immunoprecipitation and Western blot detection. For frozen tissues use a PBS buffer containing 0.1 mM CaCl2 and 0.1 mM MgCl2. For optimal results, fixed cells or tissues should be treated with 0.2% Triton-X 100 for 15 min. prior to incubation with primary antibody. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration; recommended range is 1:25 – 1:100 for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:100 – 1:1000 for immunoblotting applications.

Storage :
The antibody is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C. For prolonged storage prepare appropriate aliquots and store at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product.

Antibodies are immunoglobulins secreted by effector lymphoid B cells into the bloodstream. Antibodies consist of two light peptide chains and two heavy peptide chains that are linked to each other by disulfide bonds to form a “Y” shaped structure. Both tips of the “Y” structure contain binding sites for a specific antigen. Antibodies are commonly used in medical research, pharmacological research, laboratory research, and health and epidemiological research. They play an important role in hot research areas such as targeted drug development, in vitro diagnostic assays, characterization of signaling pathways, detection of protein expression levels, and identification of candidate biomarkers.
