Protocols
Specificity / Sensitivity
Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total progesterone receptor A and B proteins. This antibody does not cross-react with either the glucocorticoid receptor or the mineralocorticoid receptor.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr541 of human progesterone receptor protein.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from T-47D (PR positive) and MDA-MB-231 (PR negative) cells using Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit mAb (upper) or GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower).
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from T-47D cells, grown for 48 hr in phenol red-free medium supplemented with 5% charcoal-stripped FBS and then treated with either a vehicle control (-) or promegestone (R5020, 100 nM, 16 hr; +), using Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit mAb (upper) or GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). Prolonged treatment of PR-expressing cells with R5020 is known to induce PR downregulation and hyperphosphorylation, which is reflected by slower migration on SDS-PAGE.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma using Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded cell pellets, T-47D (high PR, left), MCF-7 (low PR, middle) and MDA-MB-231 (PR negative, right), using Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit mAb.
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of T-47D (PR positive, left) and MDA-MB-231 (PR negative, right) cells using Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit mAb (green). Actin filaments were labeled with DY-554 phalloidin (red).
Chromatin IP
T-47D cells were cultured in phenol red-free media supplemented with 5% charcoal-stripped FBS for 48 hr and then either untreated (left panel) or promegestone-treated (R5020, 10 nM, 1 hr; right panel). Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from 4 x 106 cells and 5 µl of Progesterone Receptor A/B (D8Q2J) XP® Rabbit 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 FKBP51 Intron 5 Primers #7859, human E2F-1 proximal enhancer site #1 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
Human progesterone receptor (PR) is expressed as two forms: the full length PR-B and the short form PR-A. PR-A lacks the first 164 amino acid residues of PR-B (1,2). Both PR-A and PR-B are ligand activated, but differ in their relative ability to activate target gene transcription (3,4). The activity of PR is regulated by phosphorylation; at least seven serine residues are phosphorylated in its amino-terminal domain. Three sites (Ser81, Ser102, and Ser162) are unique to full length PR-B, while other sites (Ser190, Ser294, Ser345, and Ser400) are shared by both isoforms (5). Phosphorylation of PR-B at Ser190 (equivalent to Ser26 of PR-A) is catalyzed by CDK2 (6). Mutation of Ser190 results in decreased activity of PR (7), suggesting that the phosphorylation at Ser190 may be critical to its biological function.
