Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The PC10 antibody recognizes the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a 36 kDa protein, also known as polymerase delta auxiliary protein. PC10 antibody reacts with human, mouse, and rat PCNA. The peak expression of PCNA occurs during the S-phase. Applications Reported: This PC10 (a.k.a. 3F81) antibody has been reported for use in immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical staining. Applications Tested: This PC10 (a.k.a. 3F81) antibody has been tested by immunocytochemistry of methanol-fixed MDCK cells and can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. This product has not been validated for flow cytometric analysis. Filter Recommendation: When using this eFluor™ 615 antibody conjugate, we recommend a filter that will capture the 615 emission wavelength (for example, Excitation 560/55, 585LP, Emission 645/75). A standard Alexa Fluor™ 594 filter is acceptable. Excitation: 595 nm; Emission: 615 nm. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

PCNA (polymerase delta auxiliary protein) is essential for DNA replication and is involved in DNA excision and mismatch repair pathways. PCNA binds to the CDK inhibitor p21, the structure-specific endonucleases Fen1 and XPG, and DNA cytosine 5-methyltransferase (MCMT). PCNA is a potentially useful marker of cells with proliferative potential and for identifying the proliferation status of tumor tissue (i.e. relevant to prognosis). PCNA is a marker for cells in early G1 phase and S phase of the cell cycle. PCNA is found in the nucleus and is a cofactor of DNA polymerase delta, and acts as a homotrimer and helps increase the processing of leading strand synthesis during DNA replication. In response to DNA damage, PCNA is ubiquitinated and is involved in the RAD6-dependent DNA repair pathway. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for PCNA. Pseudogenes of PCNA have been described on chromosome 4 and on the X chromosome.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
