    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    OAS3 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total OAS3 protein. This antibody detects an 18 kDa band of unknown origin in some cell lines.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human OAS3 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) family of interferon-induced proteins play an important role in cellular innate immune response (1-4). When activated by double-stranded RNA, these proteins polymerize ATP into 2′-5′-linked oligomers (2,3,5). These 2’-5’-linked oligoadenylates bind to the ribonuclease RNase L, which then degrades viral and cellular RNA (2,3,5). In humans, the OAS family of proteins includes OAS1, OAS2, OAS3, and OASL (1-3). OAS3 is required to activate RNase L and to restrict the replication of four different human viruses (5). These findings suggest that OAS3 may provide a target for antiviral therapies (4,5).
