Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Granyzme B Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Granzyme B protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a central region of Granzyme B. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of recombinant mouse and human Granzyme B (5 ng) and extracts from the natural killer cell line NK-92, using Granyzme B Antibody.

ELISA-Peptide

ELISA-Peptide

ELISA analysis of recombinant human Granzyme B, using Granzyme B Antibody.

Background

Granzymes are a family of serine proteases expressed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells and are key components of immune responses to pathogens and transformed cells (1). Granzymes are synthesized as zymogens and are processed into mature enzymes by cleavage of a leader sequence. They are released by exocytosis in lysosome-like granules containing perforin, a membrane pore-forming protein. Granzyme B has the strongest apoptotic activity of all the granzymes as a result of its caspase-like ability to cleave substrates at aspartic acid residues thereby activating procaspases directly and cleaving downstream caspase substrates (2,3).
