Anti-c-Myc (Ab-1) Mouse mAb (9E10)

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with SP2/0 mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the ~64-67 kDa (apparent MW) c-Myc protein.

Recognizes a ~60-67 kDa c-Myc protein in HL60 cells and lung carcinoma tissue.

This Anti-c-Myc (Ab-1) Mouse mAb (9E10) is validated for use in FC, Frozen Sections, Immunoblotting, IF, IP, Chromatin IP, Paraffin Sections for the detection of c-Myc (Ab-1).

a synthetic peptide (AEEQKLISEEDLLRKRREQLKHKLEQLRNSCA) corresponding to amino acids 408-439 of human c-Myc

Flow Cytometry (20 µg/ml or use Cat. No. OP10F)

Frozen Sections (2-10 µg/ml)

Immunoblotting (1-5 µg/ml, see application references)

Immunofluorescence (1-5 µg/ml or use Cat. No. OP10F)

Immunoprecipitation (1 µg/sample)

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (5 µg/ml, see application references)

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Lyophilized from a volatile buffer, 100 µg BSA.

Reconstitute the lyophilized antibody with sterile PBS, pH 7.4, or sterile 20 mM Tris-saline (20 mM Tris containing 0.15 M NaCl), pH 7.4, to yield a final concentration of 100 µg/ml. Lyophilized antibodies should be resuspended at 4°C with occasional gentle mixing for at least 2 h.

Negative Control
HT1080 cells

Positive Control
HL-60 cells or lung carcinoma

The c-Myc protein is extremely labile. c-Myc degradation can be as a result of freeze/thaw cycles, thus, we recommend using fresh lysates with a cocktail of protease inhibitors. c-Myc is often destroyed during the processing of paraffin sections and can therefore be difficult to detect in this application. This antibody recognizes the c-Myc protein and its cleavage products. The sequence of c-Myc predicts a ~45 kDa protein, but c-Myc migrates under reducing conditions as a ~64-67 kDa band. This antibody will not detect v-Myc but may react weakly to rodent c-Myc when used at high concentrations (10 µg/ml). An extra ~34-40 kDa band may be detected in a immunoblot. May also be used in immunofluorescence as well as the detection and purification of recombinant proteins tagged with the Myc epitope sequence EQKLISEEDL (see application references). The immunogen, c-Myc (Peptide-1) is also available for competition studies (Cat. No. PP06). Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
