General description
RIPAb+ antibodies are evaluated using the RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Each RIPAb+ antibody set includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the RIP reaction and is verified for the co-immunoprecipitation of RNA associated specifically with the immunoprecipitated RNA-binding protein of interest. Where appropriate, the RIPAb+ set also includes quantitative RT-PCR control primers (RIP Primers) to biologically validate your IP results by successfully co-precipitating the specific RNA targets, such as messenger RNAs. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate RIP protocols when using the antibody in their experimental context. If a target specific assay is not provided, the RIPAb+ kit is validated using an automated microfluidics-based assay by enrichment of detectable RNA over control immunoprecipitation.
Ago1 (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 1) is a member of the argonaute family. It contains a PAZ and a PIWI domain, and is required for G1 arrest and mating in response to nitrogen starvation. It may also contribute to cell cycle control by regulating cytokinesis. Ago1 is also needed for the production of mature miRNA that affects miRNA-directed RNA cleavage and is therefore important for heterchromatin formation and accurate chromosome segregation.

Specificity
This antibody has been shown by an independent laboratory to not cross react with Ago2, Ago3, or Ago4 (Azuma-Mukai A et al. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 105: 7964-7969).
Immunogen
GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human Ago1
Application
RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (microRNA):
Representative lot data.
RIP Lysate prepared from 293 cells (2 X 107 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to immunoprecipitation using 5 µg of either a normal mouse IgG (Cat. # CS200621), or Anti-Ago1 antibody (Cat. # CS207365) and the Magna RIP RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Cat. # 17-700).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Ago 1-associated microRNA was verified by TaqMan microRNA assay, hsa-miR-15a. (Figure2). Please refer to the Magna RIP (Cat. # 17-700) or EZ-Magna RIP (Cat. # 17-701) protocol for experimental details.
Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
HeLa cell lysate was probed with Anti-Ago 1, clone 4G7-E12 (0.1 µg/mL). Proteins were visualized using a Goat Anti-Mouse IgG secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Arrow indicates Ago 1 (~97 kDa).

To perform their regulatory functions, microRNAs (miRNAs) must assemble with any of the four mammalian Argonaute (Ago) family of proteins, Ago1-4, into an effector complex known as the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). While the mature miRNA guides the RISC complex
