General description

Monoclonal Anti-Cy3/Cy5 (mouse IgG2a isotype), Biotin conjugate is derived from the CY-96 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a mixture of proteins labelled with cyanine 3 (Cy3) or Cy5. Cyanine dyes are ionized polymethine dyes.

Specificity

The antibody recognizes Cy3 and Cy5 conjugated to proteins.

Immunogen

mixture of proteins labeled with Cy3/Cy5.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Cy3/Cy5 Biotin antibody produced in mouse has also been used in:
  • enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunocytochemistry
  • dot blot assay
  • protein microarrays
  • immunofluorescenc

Monoclonal Anti-Cy3/Cy5-Biotin antibody produced in mouse was used to label miR-107 in human breast cancer cell lines by confocal microscopy.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cy dyes are pH insensitive fluorophores that are used to label, DNA, RNA and proteins in a variety of biological assays.
Cyanine dyes are small, soluble in aqueous solution and has tolerance to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). They are more photostable than fluorescein, has high molar extinction coefficients and favourable quantum yields. Monoclonal antibodies to cyanine 3 (Cy3) and/or Cy5 are an important tool for Cy3/Cy5 signal amplification in assays where biomolecules are labelled with Cy3 or Cy5.

Physical form

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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) influence many biological processes, including cancer. They do so by posttranscriptionally repressing target mRNAs to which they have sequence complementarity. Although it has been postulated that miRNAs can regulate other miRNAs, this has never been shown experimentally to
