Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-MSH2 antibody [EPR21017-2] (AB212188)
MSH2 KO HAP1 (MSH2 knockout Human chronic myelogenous leukemia near-haploid cell line, Left) / WT HAP1 (Right) cells were fixed with4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. The cells were incubated with the primary antibody, ab212188 at a 1/6000 dilution (0.01μg) (red line). The secondary antibody used wasGoat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) at a 1/2000 dilution. The isotype control (black line) antibody wasRabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730). An unlabelled control without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody was also performed (blue line).
90% methanol permeabilisation is recommended. Avoid using TritonX-100 as it may cause non-specific staining.

Biological function summary
Components are identified in mismatch repair where MSH2 forms a heterodimer with MSH6 known as the MutSα complex or with MSH3 known as the MutSβ complex. This heterodimerization is critical for the initial steps in the recognition and binding of mismatch errors on the DNA strand. MSH2 complex formation enables it to scan the DNA for errors facilitating the recruitment of additional repair proteins. The activity of MSH2 in these complexes is important in preserving the fidelity of genetic information and prevents mutations that could lead to genomic instability.
Pathways
MSH2 operates within the DNA damage response and repair pathways. The protein is a core component of the mismatch repair pathway which corrects DNA replication errors that elude proofreading activity of DNA polymerases. It interacts with other proteins such as MLH1 and PMS2 forming a synergistic function that amplifies the capacity to recognize and initiate repair of mismatches. The pathway involving MSH2 not only repairs mismatched bases but also plays a role in cell cycle control checkpoints and apoptosis evidencing its pivotal role in maintaining cell cycle integrity.
