Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificity
At least three isoforms of RNF8 are known to exist, this antibody will detect all three isoforms.
Purification
RNF8 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
RNF8 antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human RNF8. The immunogen is located within amino acids 330 - 380 of RNF8.
RNF8 antibody can be used for detection of RNF8 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunoflourescence starting at 20 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunofluorescence in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Background
RNF8 Antibody: RNF8 was identified as a ubiquitin ligase (E3) containing a RING finger motif and a FHA domain. This protein has been shown to interact with several class II ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes including UBE2E1/UBCH6, UBE2E2, and UBE2E3. RNF8 assembles at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) via interactions though the FHA domain with the adaptor protein MDC1, resulting in an increase in DSB-associated H2A histone ubiquitinations mediated by the associated ubiquitin ligase RNF168 followed by the accumulation of 53BP1 and BRCA1 repair proteins. Together with RNF168, RNF8 plays an integral part of class switch recombination in B cells, allowing the production of several classes of antibodies, through the recruitment of 53BP1 and BRCA1 to the DSB sites.
