Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-Survivin (Thr34) (D2E11) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of survivin protein only when phosphorylated at Thr34.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr34 of human survivin protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of HT-29 and HeLa cells, untreated or synchronized in mitosis by thymidine block (2 mM, 17 hr) followed by nocodozole treatment (100 ng/ml, 24 hr), using Phospho-Survivin (Thr34) (D2E11) Rabbit mAb (top), Survivin (71G4B7) Rabbit mAb #2808 (middle), or α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125 (lower).

Background

Survivin is a 16 kDa anti-apoptotic protein highly expressed during fetal development and cancer cell malignancy (1). Survivin binds and inhibits caspase-3, controlling the checkpoint in the G2/M-phase of the cell cycle by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell division (2,3). This regulatory process requires the phosphorylation of survivin at Thr34 by p34 cdc2 kinase (4). Gene targeting using a Thr34 phosphorylation-defective survivin mutant, as well as antisense survivin, have been shown to inhibit tumor growth (5,6).
