ターゲット情報

  • 機能

    The SMN complex plays an essential role in spliceosomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm and is required for pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus. It may also play a role in the metabolism of snoRNPs.

  • 組織特異性

    Expressed in a wide variety of tissues. Expressed at high levels in brain, kidney and liver, moderate levels in skeletal and cardiac muscle, and low levels in fibroblasts and lymphocytes. Also seen at high levels in spinal cord. Present in osteoclasts and mononuclear cells (at protein level).

  • 関連疾患

    Defects in SMN1 are the cause of spinal muscular atrophy autosomal recessive type 1 (SMA1) [MIM:253300]. Spinal muscular atrophy refers to a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, leading to symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy. Autosomal recessive forms are classified according to the age of onset, the maximum muscular activity achieved, and survivorship. The severity of the disease is mainly determined by the copy number of SMN2, a copy gene which predominantly produces exon 7-skipped transcripts and only low amount of full-length transcripts that encode for a protein identical to SMN1. Only about 4% of SMA patients bear one SMN1 copy with an intragenic mutation. SMA1 is a severe form, with onset before 6 months of age. SMA1 patients never achieve the ability to sit.
    Defects in SMN1 are the cause of spinal muscular atrophy autosomal recessive type 2 (SMA2) [MIM:253550]. SMA2 is an autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy of intermediate severity, with onset between 6 and 18 months. Patients do not reach the motor milestone of standing, and survive into adulthood.
    Defects in SMN1 are the cause of spinal muscular atrophy autosomal recessive type 3 (SMA3) [MIM:253400]. SMA3 is an autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy with onset after 18 months. SMA3 patients develop ability to stand and walk and survive into adulthood.
    Defects in SMN1 are the cause of spinal muscular atrophy autosomal recessive type 4 (SMA4) [MIM:271150]. SMA4 is an autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy characterized by symmetric proximal muscle weakness with onset in adulthood and slow disease progression. SMA4 patients can stand and walk.

Question

Could you please send me a few more experimental details for our records:

1) What samples and species was used? Human fibroblasts.
2) What is the antibody dilution and incubation time employed for the primary antibody? 1/200, incubation time was 1 hr.
3) Which blocking reagent was used? We use 10% FBS.
4) Is the secondary antibody working well with other primaries? yes, we used this secondary with your previous batch of this ab from you as well as for several other antibodies, which all worked fine.
5) Did you try out both vials? If not, I'd suggest trying the second vial as well as the issue could be just vial-related. We did try both.
6) Were there any changes donein your sample preparation or protocol when using the old lot and the newlot? No, we have used your SMN ab extensively for years.

What kind of replacement were you looking for? We have 1 vial of a different lot in stock currently which I can send you. Alternatively, a different Gemin1 antibody can be sent free of charge. We would like to try both since we paid for two and spent so much time already on this problem. We need to get the expt done. Thank you for your understanding.
Please let me what you would prefer. Thank you so much! Can we get it by tomorrow please.

Question

We purchased two tubes of your Gemin-1[2B1] antibody. This is an antibody we have used before without any problems. We have recently used the new antibody for IF and have found a large amount of background compared to what we have previously observed(see attached images). This antibody is extremely important to our research and we were hoping that you could send us a replacement for the bad antibody.

Question

what is the starting dilution for this antibody when used for Western? thank you

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. The datasheet does not recommend a specific dilution as it may vary between preparations/tissues and also depending on the amount of gemin 1 in your sample and the detection system you use. I would recommend a preliminary experiment to determine an optimal concentration: try a few dilutions of 1:500, 1:1000, 1:2000. Then optimise the dilution depending on those results. Good luck with your research,
