    This antibody detects iNOS. It does not detect other NOS isoforms. By western blot, this antibody detects an ~135 kDa protein representing recombinant human iNOS. By western blot, this antibody also detects purified recombinant mouse iNOS, mouse iNOS from cytokine stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.
  • Tested applications
    Suitable for: IHC-P, WBmore details
  • Species reactivity
    Reacts with: Mouse, Rat, Rabbit, Chicken, Dog, Human, Xenopus laevis, Amphibian, Xenopus tropicalis
    Predicted to work with: Guinea pig
  • Immunogen

    Synthetic peptide corresponding to Mouse iNOS aa 17-31.

    Run BLAST with BLAST the sequence with ExPASy Run BLAST with BLAST the sequence with NCBI
  • Positive control
    • WB: Recombinant human or mouse iNOS, cytokine stimulated RAW 264.7 cell lysate, cytokine stimulated rat fibroblast and LPS treated mouse spleen tissue lysates.

Properties

Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab3523 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Abreviews Notes
IHC-P Use at an assay dependent concentration. PubMed: 28186091
WB 1/200 - 1/800. Detects a band of approximately 135 kDa.

Abcam recommends using 5% BSA as the blocking agent. 

Note: Regarding using this antibody in WB on mouse lung tissue: "However, iNOS protein was below the limit of detection following any level of hypoxic exposure (positive control was lipopolysaccharide-treated mouse spleen) and using several different antibodies" (from PubMed ID 11686901)

Target

  • Function
    Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such COX2.
  • Tissue specificity
    Expressed in the liver, retina, bone cells and airway epithelial cells of the lung. Not expressed in the platelets.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the NOS family.
    Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.
    Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain.

    Lane 1 : iNOS Overexpression Lysate (Human)
    Lane 2 : Raw264.7 Whole Cell Lysate
    Lane 3 : Raw264.7 Whole Cell Lysate (LPS stimulated)

    Lysates/proteins at 20 µg per lane.

    Performed under reducing conditions.

    Observed band size: 140 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
    Additional bands at: 50 kDa, 70 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.



    This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab3523 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti Rabbit IR680 at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx

mouse liver samples
sees 3 bands between 120 and 220 kDa
which one is correct?
customer will send image for getting advice

Thank you for contacting us.

Please send me your WB image so I can take a look at the bands you have obtained.

I look forward to hear back from you.
