Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific) detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (89 kDa) of human PARP1 produced by caspase cleavage. The antibody does not recognize full length PARP1 or other PARP isoforms.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to carboxy-terminal residues surrounding Asp214 in human PARP. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of Jurkat cells, untreated or etoposide-treated (25 µM), using Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific).
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded human tonsil, showing nuclear localization, using Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific).
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Jurkat cells, untreated (left) or Etoposide-treated (right), using Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific).
IC-ABC
Immunocytochemical analysis of HeLa cells, untreated or staurosporine-treated, using Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific).
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells, untreated (blue) or etoposide-treated (green), using Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific) compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent images of HT-29 cells, untreated (left) or Staurosporine #9953 treated (right) labeled with Cleaved PARP (Asp214) Antibody (Human Specific) (green). Actin filaments have been labeled with Alexa Fluor® 555 phalloidin (red). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5™ (fluorescent DNA dye).
Background
PARP, a 116 kDa nuclear poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, appears to be involved in DNA repair in response to environmental stress (1). This protein can be cleaved by many ICE-like caspases in vitro (2,3) and is one of the main cleavage targets of caspase-3 in vivo (4,5). In human PARP, the cleavage occurs between Asp214 and Gly215, which separates the PARP amino-terminal DNA binding domain (24 kDa) from the carboxy-terminal catalytic domain (89 kDa) (2,4). PARP helps cells to maintain their viability; cleavage of PARP facilitates cellular disassembly and serves as a marker of cells undergoing apoptosis (6).
