General description
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a 36 kDa molecule that is highly conserved between species. PCNA was first identified as the antigen for a subpopulation of autoantibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (Miyachi, 1978; Takasaki, 1984; Ogata, 1987). It has since been determined that PCNA serves as a co-factor for DNA polymerase delta in S-phase as well as during DNA synthesis associated with mechanisms involved in DNA damage repair (Tan, 1987; Bravo, 1987). The temporal specificity of PCNA expression makes it an ideal marker for cell proliferation. PCNA begins to accumulate during the G1 phase of the cell cycle, is most abundant during the S phase, and declines during the G2/M phase (Kurki, 1988). Since the half-life of PCNA exceeds 20 hours, it may be possible to detect the protein in non-cycling cells.
Specificity
Clone PC10 recognizes PCNA from all vertebrate and insect species tested and has been used to identify transformed cells (Kurki, 1988), proliferating cells in solid tumors (Smetana, 1983), and blast cells in leukemia patients (Takasaki, 1984). Immunohistochemistry with clone PC10 has been used to study the expression of PCNA in paraffin sections of normal tissues and lymphoid neoplasms (Hall, 1990). In proliferating cells, PCNA staining pattern is predominantly nuclear. By western blot, the antibody detects a polypeptide migrating at 36 kDa with an isoelectric point of 4.8.
Immunogen
Rat PCNA made in the protein A vector pR1T2T.

Use Anti-PCNA Antibody, clone PC10 (mouse monoclonal antibody) validated in ELISA, FC,IHC(P), IP, WB to detect PCNA also known as Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen, DNA Polymerase delta Processivity Factor.
Western blot: 1:250-1:1000. Nuclear extracts are preferred over whole cell protein extracts.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:20-1:200. Recommended for paraffin embedded tissue sections only. May be used on material fixed in a wide range of fixatives including formalin (buffered and unbuffered), methacarn and Bouin′s reagent. The time of fixation can markedly affect the intensity of PCNA immunoreactivity. Staining is reduced (and may be abolished) if sections are baked onto glass slides. Air-drying overnight on poly-L-lysine coated slides is recommended. 60 minute incubation at 25°C with standard ABC technique is recommended.
Immunoprecipitation
Indirect Flow Cytometry
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

The adult pineal gland is composed of pinealocytes, astrocytes, microglia, and other interstitial cells that have been described in detail. However, factors that contribute to pineal development have not been fully elucidated, nor have pineal cell lineages been well characterized.

The efficient repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is critical for the maintenance of genomic integrity. In mammalian cells, the nonhomologous end-joining process that represents the predominant repair pathway relies on the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and the XRCC4-DNA ligase
