Analysis Note

ControlJurkat cell lysate was probed with Anti-dimethyl-Arginine, asymmetric. Several proteins containing asymmetrically dimethylated arginines were detected, including p110, p75 and Sam68.

Included Positive Antigen Control:
Catalog # 12-303, Jurkat lysate. Add 2.5 µL of 2-mercaptoethanol/100 µL of lysate and boil for 5 minutes to reduce the preparation. Load 20 µg of reduced lysate per lane for minigels.

Application

Detect dimethyl-Arginine with Anti-dimethyl-Arginine Antibody, asymmetric (ASYM24) (Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody), that has been shown to work in WB.

General description

Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that results in the formation of asymmetrical and symmetrical dimethylated arginines (a- and sDMA).

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide containing asymmetric dimethyl-arginine-glycine repeats (KGR*GR*GR*GR*GPPPPPR*GR*GR*GR*G in which R* denotes asymmetric dimethylation of arginine).

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Rabbit antiserum diluted in storage buffer (PBS, 0.035% sodium azide and 30% glycerol). Store at -20°C.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot HeLa nuclear extract and p110, p75, and Sam68 in RIPA lysates from Jukat cells.

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:500-1:1000 dilution of this lot detected p110, p75, and Sam68 in RIPA lysates from Jurkat cells.

Specificity

Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.

Recognizes proteins that contain arginines that are asymmetrically dimethylated including p300, p110, p75 and Sam68. Specificity for asymmetrically dimethylated arginine was determined by ELISA with an unmethylated R16;backbone' peptide or an identical peptide containing symmetrically dimethylated arginines.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Target description

Varies. Antibody detects proteins containing asymmetrical dimethylated arginines.
