    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #9115. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #9115.

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Blimp-1/PRDI-BF1 (C14A4) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) detects endogenous levels of total Blimp-1/PRDI-BF1 protein.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val90 of human PRDI-BF1 isoform 2.

    Background

    Blimp-1 (B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein) is a nuclear zinc-finger containing transcriptional repressor that is considered a master regulator of terminal B cell development (1). The human homolog, PRDI-BF1, was identified by its ability to bind to the PRDI element on the IFN-β promoter and can inhibit virus-mediated IFN-β production (2). Expression of Blimp-1 is sufficient to drive terminal differentiation of BCL1 lymphoma cells into antibody secreting plasma cells, increasing the expression of the cell surface marker Syndecan-1 (1). In the B cell lineage, Blimp-1 is specifically expressed in antibody-secreting cells including activated B and plasma cells. In addition, Blimp-1 has been found during macrophage differentiation (3) and in a subset of T cells (4,5), suggesting it may play a wider role in homeostasis and differentiation (6). Mechanistically, Blimp-1 is thought to act by recruiting chromatin-modifying enzymes including histone deacetylases (7) and methyltransferases (8,9). Target genes of Blimp-1 transcriptional repression with potential roles in differentiation include c-Myc (10), CIITA (11), Pax5 (12), Spi-B, and Id3 (13).
