CST, 65095W2, Rb (4H1) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex™ Alexa Fluor® 750 Conjugate)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying Rb. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Rb (4H1) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex^™ Alexa Fluor^® 750 Conjugate) (CST #65095) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology ® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate. Storage Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Specificity / Sensitivity Rb (4H1) Mouse mAb (SignalFlex™ Alexa Fluor Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey, Bovine, Pig 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 (6-8) and cyclin D1 is required for Ser780 phosphorylation (9).
