Specificity/Sensitivity
Phospho-Stat3 (Ser727) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of Stat3 only when phosphorylated at Ser727. The antibody does not significantly cross-react with the corresponding phospho-serines of other Stat proteins.
Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology
Hamster, Bovine, Dog, Pig, Horse
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser727 of mouse Stat3. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
The Stat3 transcription factor is an important signaling molecule for many cytokines and growth factor receptors (1) and is required for murine fetal development (2). Research studies have shown that Stat3 is constitutively activated in a number of human tumors (3,4) and possesses oncogenic potential (5) and anti-apoptotic activities (3). Stat3 is activated by phosphorylation at Tyr705, which induces dimerization, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding (6,7). Transcriptional activation seems to be regulated by phosphorylation at Ser727 through the MAPK or mTOR pathways (8,9). Stat3 isoform expression appears to reflect biological function as the relative expression levels of Stat3α (86 kDa) and Stat3β (79 kDa) depend on cell type, ligand exposure, or cell maturation stage (10). It is notable that Stat3β lacks the serine phosphorylation site within the carboxy-terminal transcriptional activation domain (8).

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 BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

Revision 1
Western blot analysis of extracts from A172 cells, untreated (-) or UV-treated (100 mJ, 30 min; +) with or without λ phosphatase (+), using Phospho-Stat3 (Ser727) Antibody (upper) and Stat3 (79D7) Rabbit mAb #4904 (lower).
Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from Hep G2 cells starved overnight and treated with IL-6 (100 ng/ml, 30 min), and either Phospho-Stat3 (Ser727) Antibody or Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. The enriched DNA was quantified by real-time PCR using human IRF-1 promoter primers, SimpleChIP® Human c-Fos Promoter Primers #4663, 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.
