Question 1

Thursday 04-May-2006

No, Swissprot, EBI's and NCBI's websites are riddled with mistakes and faulty information. So, here's the link you should look at:

http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/misc/trans.html

It is IUBMB that has the naming rights to translation factors, no one else.

Thank you for your time and letting help you correct other's mistakes.

ANSWER:

 

Thank you for this information and clarification. I have changed the online datasheet to reflect the fact that the antibody is raised against eIF2 alpha. Thank you again for your assistance.

Question 2

Wednesday 03-May-2006

Will this antibody recognize the active form of eIF2A?

ANSWER:

 

Ab19288 is specific for the phosphorylated form of eIF-2 alpha. It recognizes an epitope that includes phosphorylated Serine 51. The antibody has been cross adsorbed to remove activity to the non-phosphorylated form.

Please contact us again if you have any additional questions.

Question 3

Monday 01-May-2006

The antibody products stated to be anti eIF-2A really against eIF2alpha. They are two entirely different proteins.

ab4837 ab5369 ab19288

ANSWER:

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

Our designation comes directly from Swiss-Prot where the synonyms for the protein are as follows:

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha subunit eIF-2-alpha EIF-2alpha EIF-2A

I believe the datasheet is correct in identifying the protein that the antibody is raised against.

I hope this information helps, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Question 4

Friday 27-January-2006

This antibody recognizes phospho S51 eIF2A and the immunogen came from rat. It states that the antibody cross-reacts with human. However, customer says that there is no phospho S51 eIF2A in humans, just phospho S52 eIF2A. Please clarify.

ANSWER:

 

The immunogen for this antibody was a synthetic peptide derived from rat S51 eIF-2alpha. Collaborators confirmed the reactivity of this antibody in Western blots with approx. 36 kDa protein corresponding to the predicted molecular weight of eIF-2alpha of other species.
