Background of Pcna

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was originally identified by immunofluorescence as a nuclear protein whose appearance correlated with the proliferative state of the cell. PCNA/cyclin has been localized by in situ hybridization to the short arm of human chromosome 20 with a peak of grains over band 20p13. PCNA gene is present in single copy and has 6 exons. It spans 4,961 bp. Synthesis of the nuclear protein cyclin and DNA in quiescent mouse fibroblasts is coordinately induced by serum and purified growth factors. PCNA controls establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during S phase.

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.

2 Reviews For Anti-PCNA Antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10)

The PCNA antibody (Cat# MA1083) showed clear and distinct nuclear positivity in HepG2-derived subcutaneous tumors, indicating reliable detection.

Excellent

SKU MA1083
Application Immunohistochemistry
Sample HepG2 subcutaneous xenograft in nude mice
Sample Processing Description HepG2 cells were expanded and then implanted subcutaneously into nude mice. After 2 weeks, tumors formed, which were excised, fixed in formalin for 48 hours, and processed for paraffin embedding and sectioning.
Other Reagents Goat serum, DAB chromogen solution
Primary Antibody PCNA Antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10)
Primary Incubation 1:500, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody Two-step IHC detection kit
Secondary Incubation 30 min in 37℃
Detection Image system: Leica DM2500
Results Summary PCNA is a key marker for cell proliferation studies; however, besides being a proliferation marker, it is a core component of the DNA replication and repair complex. Its long half-life and involvement in DNA damage repair mean that PCNA positivity does not solely indicate cell proliferation but may also reflect cells responding to DNA damage. Combined with Ki67 staining, it can accurately indicate proliferative status. In our experiment, the staining was clear, with distinct nuclear positivity.

Would anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10) MA1083 work on primate IHC with skeletal muscle?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-03-19

Answer

Our lab technicians have not tested anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10) MA1083 on primate. You can run a BLAST between primate and the immunogen sequence of anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10) MA1083 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated primate samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in primate skeletal muscle in IHC, you can get your next antibody for free.

Question

My question regarding product MA1083, anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10). I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?

N. Banerjee

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-01-04

Answer

We do not advise storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free MA1083 anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10), we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question

Will MA1083 anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10) work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?

T. Singh

Verified customer

Asked: 2013-03-04

Answer

It shows on the product datasheet, MA1083 anti-PCNA antibody (Monoclonal, PC 10) as been validated on WB. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
