Product datasheet Anti-Phosphoserine antibody [3C171] ab17465 1 Abreviews 4 References 2 Images Overview Product name Anti-Phosphoserine antibody [3C171] Description Mouse monoclonal [3C171] to Phosphoserine Specificity Reacts against phosphorylated serine both as free amino acid or when conjugated to carriers such as BSA or KLH. Does not crossreact with non-phosphorylated serine, phosphothreonine, phosphotyrosine, AMP or ATP. Tested applications ELISA, WB, ICC/IF Species reactivity Reacts with: Species independent Immunogen Phosphoserine conjugated to KLH. Properties Form Liquid Storage instructions Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage buffer Preservative: 0.05% Sodium Azide, 0.01% Thimerosal. Constituents: 40% Glycerol, PBS, 15mg/ml BSA. pH 7.6 Purity Ascites Clonality Monoclonal Clone number 3C171 Isotype IgG1 Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab17465 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application Abreviews Notes ELISA 1/500. WB 1/250. (colorimetric). Do not use milk as a blocking agent or in diluents, as milk casein is phosphorylated at several serine residues. BSA is recommended instead. ICC/IF Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml. 1 Target Relevance Changes in the serine/threonine phosphorylation state of a protein in response to various external stimuli can have profound effects on cellular signal transduction, apoptosis and carcinogenesis. The reagents, including phosphorylated protein/peptides, antibodies against the phosphospecific amino acid, are important tools to explore the activation of serine, threonine or tyrosine containing proteins. An aberrant protein phosphorylation is a hallmark of human disease, and the enzymes, particularly protein kinases, which control protein phosphorylation are recognized as a major new drug target family. Anti-Phosphoserine antibody [3C171] images ICC/IF image of ab17465 stained MCF-7 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab17465, 1µg/ml) overnight Immunocytochemistry/ ImmunofluorescencePhosphoserine antibody [3C171](ab17465) at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
