Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

NF-κB p65 (L8F6) Mouse mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total NF-κB p65 protein.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human NF-κB protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-) or SignalSilence® NF-κB p65 siRNA I #6261 (+), using NF-κB p65 (L8F6) Mouse mAb (upper) or α-Tubulin (11Η10) Rabbit mAb #2125 (lower). The NF-κB p65 (L8F6) Mouse mAb confirms silencing of NF-κB p65 expression, while the α-Tubulin (11Η10) Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.

Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells using NF-κB p65 (L8F6) Mouse mAb (blue) compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).


IF-IC

IF-IC

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells, untreated (left) or treated with Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (hTNF-α) #8902 (20 ng/mL, 20 min; right), using NF-κB p65 (L8F6) Mouse mAb (green). Actin filaments were labeled with DY-554 phalloidin (red). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).

Chromatin IP

Chromatin IP

Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from 4 x 106 HeLa cells treated with Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (hTNF-α) #8902 (30 ng/ml, 1 hr) and either 10 μl of NF-κB p65 (L8F6) Mouse mAb or 2 μl of Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. The enriched DNA was quantified by real-time PCR using SimpleChIP® Human IκBα Promoter Primers #5552, human IL-8 promoter primers, and SimpleChIP® Human α Satellite Repeat Primers #4486. The amount of immunoprecipitated DNA in each sample is represented as signal relative to the total amount of input chromatin, which is equivalent to one.

Background

Transcription factors of the nuclear factor κ B (NF-κB)/Rel family play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune responses (1,2). There are five family members in mammals: RelA, c-Rel, RelB, NF-κB1 (p105/p50), and NF-κB2 (p100/p52). Both p105 and p100 are proteolytically processed by the proteasome to produce p50 and p52, respectively. Rel proteins bind p50 and p52 to form dimeric complexes that bind DNA and regulate transcription. In unstimulated cells, NF-κB is sequestered in the cytoplasm by IκB inhibitory proteins (3-5). NF-κB-activating agents can induce the phosphorylation of IκB proteins, targeting them for rapid degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and releasing NF-κB to enter the nucleus where it regulates gene expression (6-8). NIK and IKKα (IKK1) regulate the phosphorylation and processing of NF-κB2 (p100) to produce p52, which translocates to the nucleus (9-11).
