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

Application Abreviews Notes
ChIP Use a concentration of 4 µg/ml.
IHC-P 1/200. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

See IHC antigen retrieval protocols.
WB 1/1000. Detects a band of approximately 68 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 62 kDa).Can be blocked with PKR (phospho T446) peptide (ab181660).
IP 1/10.
  • Application notes
    Is unsuitable for Flow Cyt or ICC/IF.

    • Target

    • Function
      Following activation by double-stranded RNA in the presence of ATP, the kinase becomes autophosphorylated and can catalyze the phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor EIF2S1, which leads to an inhibition of the initiation of protein synthesis. Double-stranded RNA is generated during the course of a viral infection.
    • Sequence similarities
      Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GCN2 subfamily.
      Contains 2 DRBM (double-stranded RNA-binding) domains.
      Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
    • Post-translational
      modifications
      Autophosphorylated on several Ser and Thr residues. Autophosphorylation of Thr-451 is dependent on Thr-446 and is stimulated by dsRNA binding and dimerization. Autophosphorylation apparently leads to the activation of the kinase.

      Question

      Our customer was really happy and he got his expected results by using this replaced antibody.
      But we faced with a new problem. Our customer just contacted us and informed us that 5 Abcam products form ORDER #1174002 did not work and after several effort they did not get any results.
      All these items has been shipped all together and we probably can connect it to shipment condition by FedEx. It would be appreciated if you can help us in that regard.
      I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from you,
      Sincerely Yours

      - What is the problem with these products. Please fill in the attached relevant questionnaire.
      - There are 8 antibodies in this order but the problem is submitted for 5. Is it true 3 others have worked or yet to be tried by customers.
      - At what temperature customer stored the products?

      Thank you very much for your cooperation. I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

      Question

      ich habe die Hypothese, dass es im Laufe der von mir untersuchten Infektion zur Aktivierung der Kinase PKR oder/ und GCN2 kommt. Ich wollte daher fragen, ob es möglich wäre Testproben von verschiedenen Antikörpern (ab32036; ab58301; ab75836 & ab134053) zu erhalten. So dass ich zunächst schauen kann ob meine Hypthese überhaupt stimmt und wenn ja würde ich dann natürlich auch die normalen Mengen bei Ihnen bestellen.
      Es wäre nur schade, wenn meine Hypothese nicht stimmt und die Antikörper dann bei uns verkommen, weil sie sonst niemand benötigt.

      Vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.


      Leider bieten wir generell keine kostenlosen Proben zu Testzwecken an, da wir bei über 90.000Produkten gar nicht die logistischen Möglichkeiten haben, neben unserer eigentlichen Produktpallette Teströhrchen zu lagern. Hier bei Abcam verfahren wir so, dass wir einen kostenlosen Ersatz oder eine Gutschrift verschicken, falls ein Antikörper nicht so funktioniert wie auf unserem Datenblatt beschrieben, und er innerhalb der 180Tage Garantiezeit reklamiert wird.

      Allerdings bieten wir einen besonderen Test-Discount an, wenn Sie den Antikörper in einer bisher ungetesteten Applikation oder Spezies testen möchten. Falls dies auf Ihre Experimente zutrifft, melden Sie sich bitte noch einmal bei uns vom Wissenschaftlichen Dienst, damit wir Ihre Experimente besprechen können.


      Auch wenn wir keine Test-Probenversenden, möchten wir Sie jedoch einladen, unser Abreview-System zu verwenden.Das Abreview-System erlaubt es unseren Kunden, Rezensionen unserer Produkte zu veröffentlichen und dafür Punkte zu erhalten. Diese “Abpoints” können gegen Rabatte beim Kauf weiterer Produkte oder Geschenkgutscheine wie z.B. Amazon.com-Gutscheine eingetauscht werden. Sollten Sie sich dazu entscheiden, dieses Produkt zu kaufen, teilen Sie uns bitte Ihre Ergebnisse mittels eines „Abreview“ mit. Sie können die Rezension durch einen Link direkt auf unserem Produktdatenblatt abschicken.

      Question

      Hello,

      I had received and since tested the replacement lot (GR75663). Unfortunately, it did not detect phospho-PKR (T446) in my samples. If possible, could I have this purchase credited to my account for future orders?

      Thanks,

      Answer

      Thank you for contacting us.

      I am sorry that the free of charge replacement has also regrettably not worked for you on this occasion. We appreciate you contacting us and this information will remain on our quality monitoring records.

      As requested I have asked our accounting department to issue a credit note for you, which can be redeemed against the invoice of a future order by passing it on to your purchasing department. To avoid confusion, please ensure your accounts department is aware of how the credit note is being used. If you have questions on how to use the credit note, please contact our accounting department.

      Credit ID: ####

      Our accounting department can be contacted by email at us.credits@abcam.com or by telephone using the information at the Contact Us link in the top right corner of our website. Please refer to the credit note ID in any correspondence with our accounting department.

      The credit note ID is for your reference only and does not automatically guarantee the credit.

      I hope this experience will not prevent you from purchasing other products from us in the future. Our Scientific Support team is always at your service, should you require further expert advice.

      Answer

      Thank you for your note.

      This is to let you know that I have just contacted and asked our Account Department to raise a credit note for you - for the cost of one vial of ab32036. For your information, the internal reference note for this credit is CN20430. You can use this credit in the near future for any of the products which are in the catalogue.

      I hope this helps and if I can assist further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

      Question

      Thanks for your kindly reply; this customer replied your question as follow:

      I used IFN-r to induce the phosphorylation at T446, and I also used the other primary antibody from “another company” to conduct the same experiment, however, the result seems better than ab32036.

      I also attached the results in this letter, please check this and help this customer to solve the problem.

      Thanks for your kindly help
