Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation: 1:50
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
T-bet/TBX21 (V365) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total T-bet protein.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val365 of human T-bet/TBX21 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
The gene family consists of transcription factors characterized by a related DNA-binding domain (T-box) of approximately 200 amino acids (1,2). The genes exhibit diverse temporal and spatial patterns in the developing embryo. Studies have demonstrated members of this family play crucial roles during embryogenesis in a wide range of organisms by regulating cell fate decisions to establish the early body plan and to regulate later processes underlying organogenesis (3-5). Mutations in genes are associated with many developmental defects (6). Recent studies also indicate potential roles in cancer by members of the T-box family (7-9). T-bet, also as known as TBX21, plays a critical role in development and maintenance of type 1 helper T (Th1) and T-bet deficient mice display impaired Th1 differentiation (10,11).
