General description
Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of phospholipids and proteins secreted from airway epithelial cells (type II cells) in alveoli which reduces the surface tension at the alveolar air liquid interface, providing alveolar stability necessary for normal ventilation. Four distinct proteins isolated from pulmonary surfactant are termed surfactant proteins A, B, C and D. SP A (28 - 36 kDa) and SP D (43 kDa) are collagenous carbohydrate binding proteins, whereas SP B (8 - 9 kDa) and SP C (4 kDa) are non collagenous hydrophobic proteins. SP C is a fragment of a much larger precursor protein of 21 kDa. The precursor contains an exceedingly hydrophobic region of 34 amino acids that comprises most of the mature SP C, and a unique poly-valine domain.
Specificity
Expected to cross-react with human.
Reacts strongly with proSP-C from human and mouse. Immunoprecipitates the 21 kDa proprotein as well as processing intermediates of M.W. 26 kDa, 21 kDa, 16 kDa and 14 kDa. Preincubation of the antiserum with the fusion protein results in ablation of immunostaining. On human tissue immunostains alveolar Type II cells in normal lung. The antibody also recognizes the aberrant form of proSP-C (6-12 kDa peptide) found in BAL and in alveolar proteinosis material on sections of lung samples from human patients with hereditary SP-B deficiency. On mouse tissue immunostains alveolar Type II cells in normal lung.
Immunogen
GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the N-terminal region of human Prosurfactant Protein C (proSP-C).
Application
- Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected Prosurfactant Protein C (proSP-C) in mouse lung tissue lysate and GST-fusion Prosurfactant Protein C fragment.
- ELISA Analysis: A 1:50,000 dilution from a representative lot detected GST-fusion Prosurfactant Protein C fragment.
- Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Prosurfactant Protein C (proSP-C) in mouse lung tissue sections.
- Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

While aging leads to a reduction in the capacity for regeneration after pneumonectomy (PNX) in most mammals, this biological phenomenon has not been characterized over the lifetime of mice. We measured the age-specific (3, 9, 24 month) effects of PNX
