Jak2 Blocking Peptide #1039
Description
This peptide is used to specifically block Jak2 (24B11) Rabbit mAb #3229 reactivity.
Quality Control
The quality of the peptide was evaluated by reversed-phase HPLC and by mass spectrometry. The peptide blocks Jak2 (24B11) Rabbit mAb #3229 by immunohistochemistry.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human colon carcinoma, using Jak2 (24B11) Rabbit mAb #3229 in the presence of control peptide (left) or Jak2 Blocking Peptide (right).
Applications
Use as a blocking reagent to evaluate the specificity of antibody reactivity in immunohistochemistry protocols.
Directions for Use
For immunohistochemistry, add twice the volume of peptide as volume of antibody used in 100 µl total volume. Incubate for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to adding the entire volume to the slide. Recommended antibody dilutions can be found on the relevant product data sheet.
For Western immunoblotting, add 10 µl of antibody and 10 µl of blocking peptide to 10 ml of antibody dilution buffer, and incubate at room
temperature for 30 minutes before allowing to react with the blot.
Background
Members of the Janus family of tyrosine kinases (Jak1, Jak2, Jak3 and Tyk2) are activated by ligands binding to a number of associated cytokine receptors (1). Upon cytokine receptor activation, Jak proteins become autophosphorylated and phosphorylate their associated receptors to provide multiple binding sites for signaling proteins. These associated signaling proteins, such as Stats (2), Shc (3), insulin receptor substrates (4) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (5), typically contain SH2 or other phospho-tyrosine-binding domains.
