Flow Cytometry analysis of MCF-7 cells using anti-PDF antibody (A00304-1).
Overlay histogram showing MCF-7 cells stained with A00304-1 (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-PDF Antibody (A00304-1, 1 μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10 μg/1x106 cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1 μg/1x106) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (Red line) was also used as a control.

Background of PDF
Protein synthesis proceeds after formylation of methionine by methionyl-tRNA formyl transferase (FMT) and transfer of the charged initiator f-met tRNA to the ribosome. In eubacteria and eukaryotic organelles the product of this gene, peptide deformylase (PDF), removes the formyl group from the initiating methionine of nascent peptides. In eubacteria, deformylation of nascent peptides is required for subsequent cleavage of initiating methionines by methionine aminopeptidase. The discovery that a natural inhibitor of PDF, actinonin, acts as an antimicrobial agent in some bacteria has spurred intensive research into the design of bacterial-specific PDF inhibitors. In human cells, only mitochondrial proteins have N-formylation of initiating methionines. Protein inhibitors of PDF or siRNAs of PDF block the growth of cancer cell lines but have no effect on normal cell growth. In humans, PDF function may therefore be restricted to rapidly growing cells.

Antibody Homology Across Species
The results generated by this homology analysis tool for commonly used animal species are shown below. For unlisted species, please refer to the homology analysis between the immunogen sequence and the corresponding species.
A homology of ≥90% is recommended. Generally, higher homology indicates a greater potential for cross-species reactivity. However, protein expression levels may vary among different species, tissues, and cell types. Therefore, the homology analysis results are for reference only and do not guarantee antibody cross-reactivity or experimental performance.
