  • General notes


    The antibody enhances the binding of 125I insulin binding to the insulin receptor of HIR3.5/3T3 cells and stimulates insulin mediated 3H thymidine incorporation in these cells.

    The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.

    One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Target

  • Relevance

    The human insulin receptor is a heterotetrameric membrane glycoprotein consisting of disulfide linked subunits in a beta-alpha-alpha-beta configuration. The beta subunit (95 kDa) possesses a single transmembrane domain, whereas the alpha subunit (135 kDa) is completely extracellular. The insulin receptor exhibits receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activity. RTKs are single pass transmembrane receptors that possess intrinsic cytoplasmic enzymatic activity, catalyzing the transfer of the gamma phosphate of ATP to tyrosine residues in protein substrates. RTKs are essential components of signal transduction pathways that affect cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and metabolism. Included in this large protein family are the insulin receptor and the receptors for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor. Receptor activation occurs through ligand binding, which facilitates receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic portion. The interaction of insulin with the alpha subunit of the insulin receptor activates the protein tyrosine kinase of the beta subunit, which then undergoes an autophosphorylation that increases its tyrosine kinase activity. Three adapter proteins, IRS1, IRS2 and Shc, become phosphorylated on tyrosine residues following insulin receptor activation. These three phosphorylated proteins then interact with SH2 domain containing signaling proteins.

      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 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min 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, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.

      Overlay histogram showing Jurkat cells stained with ab36550 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab36550, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in Jurkat cells fixed with methanol (5 min) used under the same conditions.

      Please note that Abcam do not have data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.

    Question

    The labeling kit that I used is :

    Alexa Fluor 647 carboxylic acid, succinimidyl ester.

    I think there is something in the buffer which inhibits the labeling. I bought two vials from your company. After the labeling failed,

    I exchanged buffer to PBS and relabeled it. Now it is working. But I lost protein and time during the process. Right now, I do not have enough antibody. I hope you can give me at least one free vial.

    Asked on Apr 13 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for providing these details. That is interesting, that the conjugation worked after the buffer exchange. The antibody is lyophilized from a PBS solution, and then reconstituted in PBS, according to the information I have. The solution you receive may be hypertonic compared to physiological saline, but I do not think that would affect the conjugation.

    I have issued a free-of-charge vial of ab36550. The delivery status is currently set to "customer pick-uip", which was the case for the previous order, but if you like, I can have it delivered. Just let me know. The order number is ****, for one vial of ab36550, anit-Insulin Receptor alpha. If you are picking up, you simply need to mention the order number at the reception desk in Building 200, 3rd floor.

    Answer

    Thank you for brining this to our attention. I have confirmed that the antibody solution contains only purified antibody and PBS, with no carrier protein or preservatives. You mentioned that the Invitrogen conjugation kit successfully conjugated another antibody. Can you tell me the catalogue number of the kit? We have not had any complaints about the antibody, so I do not think it was degraded when we sent it. Do you know the PO number for your order?

    Asked on Oct 02 2008

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry. This product has yet to be tested in WB application therefore, we do not know the actual molecular weight. However, according to SwissProt database, the expected molecular weight should be around 156kDa. Please see the link below. http://br.expasy.org/cgi-bin/niceprot.pl?P06213 I hope this information will be helpful. If there is anything else that I can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me.
