Invitrogen™ IkB zeta Recombinant Rat Monoclonal Antibody (LK2NAP), Alexa Fluor™ Plus 555

Description

Alexa Fluor™ Plus recombinant antibodies are conjugated using new, proprietary dye chemistry so you can generate stunning data. Alexa Fluor™ Plus antibodies represent an advancement in fluorescent conjugate technology. Alexa Fluor™ Plus antibodies provide brighter signal compared to leading Alexa Fluor™ antibodies, providing you with better signal-to-noise for your critical experiments. These antibodies show better specificity and lot-to-lot consistency as these are recombinant antibodies, generated by cloning specific genes for the desired antibodies into an expression vector and expressed in vitro. Using conjugate solutions: Centrifuge the protein conjugate solution briefly in a microcentrifuge before use; add only the supernatant to the experiment. This step will help eliminate any protein aggregates that may have formed during storage, thereby reducing nonspecific background staining. Applications Tested: This LK2NAP antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of RAW 264.7 cells treated with LPS. This may be used for flow cytometry at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 553 nm; Emission: 568 nm; Laser: Y...

I-kappa-B-zeta (also known as MAIL and INAP) is an ankyrin-repeat-containing nuclear protein that is highly homologous to the IkappaB family member Bcl-3. Transcription of IkappaBzeta is upregulated by stimulation with TLR ligands, IL-1 and IL-6 in cultured B-lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages, but only faintly so in T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. IkappaB-zeta preferentially associates with the NF-kappaB subunit p50 rather than p65 and recombinant IkappaB-zeta proteins inhibit the DNA binding of the p65/p50 heterodimer and the p50/p50 homodimer.
