Western blot - Anti-COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 antibody [RM1026] (AB283574)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2 antibody [RM1026] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab283574 was shown to bind specifically to COX2 / Cyclooxygenase 2. A band was observed at 74-76 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PTGS2 knockout cell line ab280802 (knockout cell lysate ab283825). Band at 70 kDa in both wild-type and knockout samples is non-specific but exact protein is not determined. To generate this image, wild-type and PTGS2 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:
- - The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free batch production

Biological function summary
COX2 plays a significant role in the inflammatory response and is part of the complex process of synthesizing prostaglandins. These compounds mediate inflammation and pain making COX2 an important target for understanding these processes. COX2 is not ubiquitously expressed but rather is induced in activated macrophages and other cells during inflammatory conditions. Its function is also important for normal physiological processes like ovulation and implantation.
Pathways
COX2 is essential in the prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway connecting it to the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway. Cyclooxygenase 2 works with phospholipase A2 which releases arachidonic acid from the phospholipid membrane. COX2 then converts this acid to prostaglandin H2 a precursor for other prostaglandins. COX1 the other isoform of cyclooxygenase is closely related to COX2 and while they have different expression patterns they share some functional similarities in these pathways.
