Relevance 

PARP (Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase) is a 113 kDa nuclear protein which can exist as a homo- or hetero-dimer, and is strongly activated by DNA strand breaks. This protein acts as a molecular “nick sensor” and functions in base excision repair, poly(ADPribosyl)ation of acceptor proteins involved in chromatin architecture and DNA metabolism, and participates in protein modification to enhance or repress transcription. PARP also plays a role in other cellular processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation. PARP is ribosylated by PARP2, and during apoptosis, ICE family members, such as caspase 3 and 7, cleave PARP to yield an 85 kDa and a 25 kDa fragment. PARP cleavage is considered to be one of the classical characteristics of apoptosis. PARP interacts with proteins in the base excision repair complex containing at least XRCC1, PARP2, POLB and LIG3. In addition PARP forms heterodimers with PARP2, and interacts with PARP3.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections)-PARP antibody(ab6079)

Ab6079 staining Human temporal cortex. Staining is localized to the nucleus.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 2 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffer citrate pH 6.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS), then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes, and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
