Background of MSH2
DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2, also known as MutS protein homolog 2 or MSH2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSH2 gene, which is located on chromosome 2. MSH2 is a tumor suppressor gene and more specifically a caretaker gene that codes for a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein, MSH2 which forms aheterodimer with MSH6 to make the human MutSα mismatch repair complex. It also dimerizes with MSH3 to form the MutSβ DNA repair complex. MSH2 is involved in many different forms of DNA repair, including transcription-coupled repair, homologous recombination, and base excision repair. It has been found that MSH2 may also be a coactivator of ESR1-dependent gene expression.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Western blot analysis of MSH2 using anti-MSH2 antibody (PB9284).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human K562 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human SH-SY5Y whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human HEL whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: human 293T whole cell lysates,
Lane 5: human A549 whole cell lysates,
Lane 6: rat PC-12 whole cell lysates,
Lane 7: mouse Neuro-2a whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-MSH2 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9284) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for MSH2 at approximately 105 kDa. The expected band size for MSH2 is at 105 kDa.

5 Customer Q&As for Anti-MSH2 Antibody Picoband®
Question
Our lab used your anti-MSH2 antibody for IF on secondary oocyte in the past. I am using rat, and We intend to use the antibody for IHC-P next. We want examining secondary oocyte as well as erythroleukemia in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for IHC-P?

Asked: 2020-03-05
Answer
I have checked the website and datasheets of our anti-MSH2 antibody and it seems that PB9284 has been validated on rat in both IF and IHC-P. Thus PB9284 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for IHC-P in rat even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for IHC-P detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.

Question
We are currently using anti-MSH2 antibody PB9284 for rat tissue, and we are satisfied with the Flow Cytometry results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it possible that the antibody can work on zebrafish tissues as well?
J. Collins
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-09-30
Answer
The anti-MSH2 antibody (PB9284) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with zebrafish tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in zebrafish you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Answer
From what I have seen in literature uterus does express MSH2. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, MSH2 is expressed in secondary oocyte, uterus, testis, muscle, blood, embryonic kidney, erythroleukemia, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have MSH2 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Blood, Pubmed ID: 7923193, 8769132
