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

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.

Physical form

Format: Purified
Purified immunoglobulin (ion-exchange chromatography). Liquid.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at 2 to 8°C for up to 6 months after date of receipt.

Analysis Note

Control
Tonsil or reactive lymph node tissue

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Gasdermins (GSDM) genes play complex roles in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Gasdermin-B (GSDMB) is frequently upregulated in human cancers, especially in HER2-amplified breast carcinomas, and can promote diverse pro-tumor functions (invasion, metastasis, therapy-resistance). In particular, the GSDMB shortest translated variant
