Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity ERCC1 Isoform 3 (E6R3Q) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total ERCC1 isoform 3 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with ERCC1 isoforms 1, 2, or 4. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg283 of human ERCC1 isoform 3 protein. Background DNA repair systems operate in all living cells to manage a variety of DNA lesions. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is implemented in cases where bulky helix-distorting lesions occur, such as those brought about by UV and certain chemicals (1). Excision Repair Cross Complementing 1 (ERCC1) forms a complex with ERCC4/XPF, which acts as the 5' endonuclease required to excise the lesion (2). ERCC1-XPF is also required for repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) (3) and involved in repair of double strand breaks (4). Research studies have shown that expression of ERCC1 is related to survival rate and response to chemotherapeutic drugs in several human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (5,6).
