The Mouse Monoclonal anti-XRCC6 antibody has been validated for WB, IF, IHC (p) and IP. It is suitable to detect XRCC6 in samples from Human, Monkey and Xenopus laevis.
Reacts with the p70 Ku antigen subunit. Recognizes an epitope between aa 506-541 of p70. Species Reactivity: Human, monkey and Xenopus. Mouse and hamster (Western blots only). Does not react with bovine, rabbit or sea urchin. Other species not tested. Cellular Location: Nuclear.Positive Control: BT474, T47D, HEP-G-2 or HeLa cells. Tonsil.
Immunofluorescence Immunohistochemistry: (Formalin/paraffin) Use at a 1:400 dilution for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is improved by boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min. followed by cooling to RT for 20 min. Immunoprecipitation: (Native and denatured) Use at 2 µg/mg protein lysate. Use Protein A. Western blot: Use at 0.25-0.5 µg/mL for 2 hrs. at RT. The optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by the researcher.

Background
The Ku autoantigen is a heterodimer of 70 kDa (p70) and ~80 kDa (p80) proteins. The p70/p80 dimer is important for the function of a 460 kDa DNA-dependent protein kinase that phosphorylates certain transcription factors, including Sp1, Oct-1, p53 and SV40 large T antigen in vitro. Ku protein plays a role in cell signaling, proliferation, DNA repair, replication, transcriptional activation and apoptosis.
