Anti-CyclinA [E70.1]

Tool Details

*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

• Name: Anti-CyclinA [E70.1]
• Alternate name: CCNA1; Cyclin A1; Testicular Tissue Protein Li 34; CT146
• Clone: E70.1
• Tool type ecom: Cell Lines
• Tool sub type: Primary antibody
• Class: Monoclonal
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Bovine
• Host: Mouse
• Application: WB
• Description: Cyclins bind to and regulate the activity of the Cyclin Dependent Protein Kinases (CDKs). Cyclin A is involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and is essential for progression through S phase. Cyclin A protein is absent in cells prior to S-phase, during which its levels increase and peak. Cyclin A is a marker for actively proliferating cells and for cells in S phase.
• Immunogen: Bovine Cyclin A
• Isotype: IgG2a
• Production details: The ARE-luciferase reporter plasmid was generated using the pGL3-promoter vector containing an SV40 promoter upstream of the firefly luciferase gene. They differ in the number of copies of ARE sequences that have been inserted, in head-to-tail orientation, through Nhe I & Xho I restrictionsites upstream of the promoter-luc+ transcriptional unit. A plasmid was made containing eight copies of the ARE (5'-GTGACAAAGCA-3', with the minimal functional sequence underlined) present in both rat GSTA2 and mouse gsta1; called pGL-8xARE. A linker with the sequence of 5'-CCC-3' and 5'-GGG-3' on the opposite strand was placed between individual cis-elements.pGL-8xARE, was stably transfected into MCF7 cells using the calcium phosphate method. Transfected cells were selected using 0.8 mg/mL G418 in the media for 3 to 4 weeks. The G418-resistant clones were isolated and screened by measuring their basal and inducible (obtained by treatment with 50 Amol/L t-BHQ) luciferase activities as described above. Positive clones, which showed low background and high inducible luciferase activity, were passaged and maintained in growth medium containing 0.8 mg/mL G418.
• Recommended controls: MCF7 parental line
