Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

For a carrier-free (BSA and azide free) version of this product see product #61121.

Specificity/Sensitivity

Rb (4H1) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of total Rb protein. The antibody does not cross-react with the Rb homologues p107 or p130, or with other proteins.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a Rb-C fusion protein containing residues 701-928 of human Rb. The epitope corresponds to a region surrounding His890 of human Rb.

Background

The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein Rb regulates cell proliferation by controlling progression through the restriction point within the G1-phase of the cell cycle (1). Rb has three functionally distinct binding domains and interacts with critical regulatory proteins including the E2F family of transcription factors, c-Abl tyrosine kinase, and proteins with a conserved LXCXE motif (2-4). Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation by a CDK inhibits Rb target binding and allows cell cycle progression (5). Rb inactivation and subsequent cell cycle progression likely requires an initial phosphorylation by cyclin D-CDK4/6 followed by cyclin E-CDK2 phosphorylation (6). Specificity of different CDK/cyclin complexes has been observed in vitro (6-8) and cyclin D1 is required for Ser780 phosphorylation in vivo (9).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v nonfat dry milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells (lane 1) or Rb knock-out cells (lane 2) using Rb (4H1) Mouse mAb #9309 (upper), and β-actin (D6A8) Rabbit mAb #8457 (lower). The absence of signal in the Rb knock-out HeLa cells confirms specificity of the antibody for Rb.

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Fluorescein Conjugate) #6201 (-), SignalSilence® Rb siRNA I #6451 (+) or SignalSilence® Rb siRNA II (+), using Rb (4H1) Mouse mAb #9309 and α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125. The Rb (4H1) Mouse mAb confirms silencing of Rb expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb is used to control for loading and specificity of Rb siRNA.

Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from Raji cells and either Rb (4H1) Mouse mAb or Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. The enriched DNA was quantified by real-time PCR using using SimpleChIP® Human Timeless Intron 1 Primers #7001, human DHFR promoter primers, and SimpleChIP® Human α Satellite Repeat Primers #4486. The amount of immunoprecipitated DNA in each sample is represented as signal relative to the total amount of input chromatin, which is equivalent to one.
