Target

  • Relevance

    The gene for CDK2NA generates several transcripts/proteins which differ from each other in their first exons. Three of these transcripts are generated by alternative splicing (isoform 1 a.k.a p16INK4A, isoform 2 and isoform 3 a.k.a p12), two of which are known to function as inhibitors of CDK4 kinase. One other transcript that is generated from this gene contains an alternate reading frame (ARF), with the first exon located 20kb upstream of the remainder of the gene(isoform 4 a.k.a. p14ARF, p19ARF, ARF). In spite of the structural and some functional differences, all the proteins encoded by the CDKN2A gene are involved in cell cycle G1 control.

The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab11048, 1 µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). This antibody also gave a positive IF result in HeLa, Hek293 and HepG2cells.

    Question

    According to Abcam dataab11048 And ab6546 have been tested and suiteble to be used in ELISA.
    Since none of the publication references mentioned in the datasheet uses this method I would like to know the ELISA protocol used in the test.

    I thank youin advance for your help.

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting Abcam Technical Team and for taking the time to provide some useful details of the experiments. I am very sorry to hear that your customer is having problems with this product. According to Swiss-Prot, the localization of the staining (CDKN2A/p14ARF) could be both cytoplasmic and nuclear. You may wish to take a look at this site for further information: http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P42771 U2OS is a human osteosarcoma cell line; it is known that CDKN2A/p14ARF is widely expressed but not detected in certain tissue such brain or skeletal muscle. There are at least 4 different splice variants and the expression pattern of these isoforms (P42771-1, P42771-2, P42771-3, Q8N726-1) may vary in different tissue/cell types. After reading through the detailed protocol you kindly forwarded to Abcam, I would like to make the following comments/suggestions: 1) Try to use cells which are intensively dividing and the cell culture should in exponential (log) phase of growth. 2) It may be worth staining HeLa cells or sections of human liver or lymphomas as good positive control. 3) In order to increase the signal, it would be worth applying ABC signal enhancing system. I hope this helps and if I can assist further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry. Our source for this antibody has told me that ab11048 does detect endogenous p14ARF; please see the following publication for additional information: Llanos S et al.

    Question

    Thanks a lot. I did a PubMed search for "HeLa cells and ARF", and found a paper, which shows the band detected by the same antibody as that I obtained from your company. I am looking for some HeLa cells, hopefully to get some positive control samples. Have a nice weekend. Oncogene. 2002 Oct 3;21(44):6779-90. Human p14(Arf): an exquisite sensor of morphological changes and of short-lived perturbations in cell cycle and in nucleolar function. David-Pfeuty T, Nouvian-Dooghe Y. UMR 146 du CNRS, Institut Curie-Recherche, Batiment 110, Centre Universitaire, 91405 Orsay Cedex, France. Therese.Pfeuty@curie.u-psud.fr The human Ink4a/Arf tumor suppressor locus encodes two distinct products: p16(Ink4a) which prevents phosphorylation and inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein and, p14(Arf), a nucleolar protein which activates the function of the tumor suppressor p53 protein in the nucleoplasm in response to oncogenic stimulation through an as yet ill-defined mechanism. Here we show that the level of endogenous p14(Arf) and its balance between the nucleolus and the nucleoplasm in HeLa cells are exquisitely sensitive to changes in cell morphology and to short-lived perturbations in cell cycle and in nucleolar function such as those induced by the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, roscovitine, and the casein kinase II and RNA synthesis inhibitor, DRB. Most remarkably, whereas p14(Arf) predominantly concentrates in the nucleolus of interphase cells and transiently disappears between metaphase and early G1 under normal growth conditions, it massively and reversibly accumulates in the nucleoplasm of postmitotic and S-phase cells upon short-term treatment with roscovitine and, at a lesser extent, DRB. In line with the fact that the nuclear level of p53 reaches a peak between mid-G1 and the G1/S border in p53-expressor cells which lack Arf expression, these results provide a clue that, in p53+/Arf+ cells, Arf proteins might serve both to speed and to amplify p53-mediated responses in conditions and cell cycle periods in which the mechanisms involved in p53 stabilization and activation are not fully operational. They further suggest that human endogenous p14(Arf) might activate p53 pathways in physiologic situations by acting inside the nucleoplasm, especially when normal cell cycle progression and nucleolar function are compromised.

    Thank you for your enquiry. Although I was unable to find out exactly what the originator used as a positive control, they have said that Hela cells should be appropriate to use as a positive control for this antibody. If you have any more questions, please contact me again.
