Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IF-IC=Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry)
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.

Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Cleaved Lamin A (Small Subunit) (30H5) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of the small fragment of lamin A (and lamin C) resulting from cleavage at aspartic acid 230. The antibody does not cross-react with full length lamin A or C.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues surrounding Asp230 of human lamin A.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa, NIH/3T3, and C6 cells, untreated or staurosporine-treated (1 µM), and Jurkat cells, untreated or etoposide-treated (25 µM), using Cleaved Lamin A (Small Subunit) (30H5) Mouse mAb.

IF-IC

IF-IC

Immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells, untreated (right) or staurosporine-treated (left), using Cleaved Lamin A (Small Subunit) (30H5) Mouse mAb.

Background

Lamins are nuclear membrane structural components that are important in maintaining normal cell functions such as cell cycle control, DNA replication, and chromatin organization (1-3). Lamin A/C is cleaved by caspase-6 and serves as a marker for caspase-6 activation. During apoptosis, lamin A/C is specifically cleaved into a large (41-50 kDa) and a small (28 kDa) fragment (3,4). The cleavage of lamins results in nuclear disregulation and cell death (5,6).
