  • 機能

    Plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Directly binds piRNAs, a class of 24 to 30 nucleotide RNAs that are generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequence elements. Associates with secondary piRNAs antisense and PIWIL2/MILI is required for such association. The piRNA process acts upstream of known mediators of DNA methylation. Participates to a piRNA amplification loop. Besides their function in transposable elements repression, piRNAs are probably involved in other processes during meiosis such as translation regulation (By similarity). May be involved in the chromatin-modifying pathway by inducing 'Lys-9' methylation of histone H3 at some loci.

Answer

Thank you for taking time to complete our questionnaire. I am sorry to hear that this antibody is not providing satisfactory results. The details provided will enable us to investigate this case and will provide us with vital information for monitoring product quality. Having reviewed this case, I would like to offer some suggestions to help optimize the results from ab21869 : - When testing our antibodies, our lab uses 5% BSA as a blocking reagent, so I recommend switching to this instead of milk. Some antibodies give stronger, more specific signals on blots blocked with BSA instead of milk, so doing this may improve the results you are seeing, and reduce the non-specific bands. An example of the above is the western blot obtained with the Abcam GAPDH antibody ab9385 : Click here for the western blot image using ab9385 (or use the following: www.abcam.com/ab9385). Should the suggestions not improve the results, please do let me know. In the event that a product is not functioning in the species and applications cited on the product datasheet (and the problem has been reported within 6 months of purchase), we would be pleased to provide a free of charge replacement, credit note, or refund. I hope this information is helpful, and I thank you for your cooperation.

Answer

I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem with ab21869. This antibody has been tested in mouse samples and if your testis cell extract are from mice I would expect ab21869 to work well for you. I would like to suggest the following modifications to your protocol: -change the blocking buffer, concentration and incubation time; we typically recommend to try 5%BSA in TBST for 1 hour then incubate the primary antibody in TBST or TBST/BSA (it is worth trying both) and to incubate the secondary antibody in TBST only. I think the problem is likely to be due to the high concentration of the blocking agent as milk should be used at 5%. -I would also recommend using the antibody more diluted and incubate longer, for a slow targeted binding to the protein of interest (e.g. 1-2ug/ml overnight, you may find you can dilute the antibody more). We recommend using ECL+ or even more sensitive detection kits (e.g. Pierce super signal) and can I please suggest checking that your protease inhibitors and buffers are fresh and running a no primary control? If you still experience problems with those changes please do not hesitate to contact me again as the antibody is guaranteed by the Abpromise and I can offer you a replacement or refund,
