Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

MA1-750 detects prion protein (PrP) protein from a variety of species that have the conserved n-IHFG-c epitope, including agriculturally important animal species such as sheep, bovine, deer, and elk. MA1-750 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunohistochemistry and ELISA procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a 33-35 kDa protein from normal animals and a 27-30 kDa protein which represents PrP in brain protease treated tissue extracts from infected animals. Immunohistochemical staining of PrP(Sc) in infected sheep brain with MA1-750 results in intense staining of the spongiform lesions. In immunohistochemical procedures this antibody detects only the PrP(Sc) and not PrP(C). The MA1-750 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues S(146) R P L I H F G S D Y E D R(159) of bovine PrP. This peptide (Cat. # PEP-051) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments. MA1-750 is known to specifically recognize a conserved epitope of the PrP(Sc) protein comprising the amino acids n-IHFG-c.

Human prion protein (PrP), also known as PRNP, is a ubiquitously expressed GPI-anchored cell surface glycoprotein associating with lipid raft components and functioning as a signaling molecule. PrP plays a role in apoptosis in a cell context-dependent manner, is involved in proliferation of epithelial cells and in distribution of junction-associated proteins in human enterocytes. Conversion of this normal cellular prion protein (PrPc) into an abnormal conformer (PrPSc) is the crucial step associated with triggering the pathogenesis of the prion neurodegenerative disorders, such as the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD). Whereas PrPc is rich in alpha-helices, the PrPSc form has higher content of beta-sheets and is resistant to proteinase K.
