Description

General description

Anti-Luciferase antibody, Mouse monoclonal , (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the LUC-1 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase. Luciferase, a reporter protein contains two binding pockets, one pocket for ATP and other one for luciferin substrate. Both the pockets are in close proximity to each other.

The mouse monoclonal Anti-Luciferase antibody recognizes the recombinant luciferase in transfected cells. This antibody provides user with an alternative detection method for luciferase. Since it directly detects the luciferase protein, it is not dependent on either the luciferase activity or the measeurement of rapid reaction kinetics. This also allows for the detection of the luciferase enzyme expression in situ with reproducibility between sample sets.

Application

Anti-Luciferase antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunocytochemistry
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-Luciferase antibody, Mouse monoclonal recognizes recombinant luciferase in transfected eukaryotic (293T) cells.

Luciferase catalyzes a bioluminescent reaction in the presence of substrate luciferin as well as Mg²⁺, oxygen and ATP. The luciferase assay is rapid, sensitive, and unlike the CAT assay, does not require a radioactive substrate. Anti-Luciferase antibody can detect the luciferase enzyme expression in situ, providing a means to study the cellular localization of the signal sequence activation.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Preparation Note

For continuous use store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in a frost-free freezer, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Working Dilution: 1-2 μg/ml
