Anti-EBNA2 [PE2]

Invented by Prof Martin Rowe from University Of Birmingham
Invented at University Of Birmingham

Info

Catalogue Number 151472
Applications IHC IF IP WB ChIP-seq
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Epstein Barr Virus Encoded Nuclear Antigen 2 (EBNA2)
Reactivity Human and Virus
Relevance Monoclonal antibody directed at large T antigen of SV40, valuable for investigation into other SV40 tumour antigens and polyomaviruses.

Background and Research Application
The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also called Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is a virus of the herpes family and is one of the most common viruses in humans. EBNA2 is one of the few genes of Epstein-Barr virus which are necessary for immortalization of human primary B lymphocytes. EBV is associated with several B-cell lymphomas and epithelial nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The EBNA2 protein acts as a transcriptional activator of several viral and cellular genes. There are two alternative forms of EBNA2: EBNA2A and EBNA2B.
Anti-EBNA2 helped determine the subcellular localisation of the EBNA2 protein to the nuclei of transfected cells. This antibody recognises a shared epitope between the EBNA 2A and 2B proteins. EBNA2 expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsies was studied more extensively with anti-EBNA2.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Recombinant fusion protein against EBNA2The immunogen was a beta-gal fusion protein from plasmid pKH-2A10 that contains aa 341-480 of B95.8 type EBNA2A (Fig 4 in Young et al 1989)
Immunogen UniProt ID P12978
Positive Control Immunohistochemistry (Acetone fixed): EBV positive Raji cell Line. Western blotting: B95-8 cell
Subclass IgG1
Molecular Weight (kDa) 52
Myeloma Used P3X63Ag8.653
Notes Production Details
Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A.

Storage Conditions
Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Points of Interest
Anti-EBNA2 bind to both EBNA 2A and EBNA 2B proteins in immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.

Concentration
1mg/ml as standard
