INDOLEAMINE 2; 3-DIOXYGEN;MSX-100UG

Non disponible en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande

Analysis Note

ControlIFN-gamma stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes, HeLa lysates.

Application

Immunohistochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody worked on lightly fixed tissues; Triton X-100 treatment only in the block, not with primary antibody. High temperature antigen retrieval is recommended.

Western blot:
Recognizes a 42-45kDa band in IFN-gamma treated human HeLa cell lines. Mouse IDO runs slightly smaller in blots than human IDO.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

General description

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an enzyme that is responsible for converting tryptophan to kynurenines. IDO is expressed by a wide variety of tissues and IDO can be upregulated by interferon gamma. IDO modulates levels of the amino acid tryptophan, which is vital for cell growth, but is also involved in the suppression of the immune response. IDO may be involved in the suppression of the immune response to tumours and blocking the IDO pathway may be a potential target for immunotherapy.

Immunogen

Amino acids 78-184 of human IDO fused to GST.

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

Physical form

Protein A purified

Format: Purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG3 in buffer containing 0.02 M phosphate, 0.25 M NaCl, 0.1% NaN3, pH 7.6.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on untreated and IFNgamma treated HeLa lysates.

Western blot:
1:500 dilution of this lot detected IDO on 10 µg of untreated and IFN gamma treated HeLa lysates.

Specificity

Reacts with Indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). Note IDO is usually expressed in response to various stimuli. A good positive control is HeLa cells stimulated with IFN-gamma, {http://www.upstate.com/browse/productdetail.q.ProductID.e.05-840#}.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 6 months at 2-8°C in undiluted aliquots from date of receipt.
