Product Usage Information

This product is the carrier free version of product #2855. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

Formulation

Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

For standard formulation of this product see product #2855.

Storage

Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

Specificity/Sensitivity

Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (236B4) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) detects endogenous levels of 4E-BP1 only when phosphorylated at Thr37 and/or Thr46. This antibody may cross-react with 4E-BP2 and 4E-BP3 when phosphorylated at equivalent sites. Non-specific staining has been observed in mitotic cells by immunofluorescence.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr37 and Thr46 of mouse 4E-BP1.

Background

Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the translation initiation factor eIF4E. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this interaction and results in activation of cap-dependent translation (1). Both the PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1 activity (2,3). Multiple 4E-BP1 residues are phosphorylated in vivo (4). While phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR at Thr37 and Thr46 does not prevent the binding of 4E-BP1 to eIF4E, it is thought to prime 4E-BP1 for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser65 and Thr70 (5).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western blot analysis of extracts from 293T cells using 4E-BP1 Antibody #9452 (upper) and Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (236B4) Rabbit mAb #2855 (lower). The cells were starved for 24 hours in serum-free medium and underwent a 1 hour amino acid deprivation. Amino acids were replenished for 1 hour. Cells were then either untreated (-) or treated with 100 nM insulin (+) for 30 minutes. Data were generated using the standard formulation of this product.

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of 293 cells, expressing either non-targeting shRNA (top) or shRNA targeting 4E-BP1/2 (bottom), using Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (236B4) Rabbit mAb (green). To confirm phospho-specificity, cells were treated with an inhibitor cocktail consisting of LY294002 #9901, U0126 #9903, and Rapamycin #9904 (50 μM, 10 μm, 10 nM, 2 hr; left), stimulated with insulin (100 nM, 30 min; middle), or processed with λ-phosphatase following insulin stimulation (right). Red = Propidium Iodide (PI)/RNase Staining Solution #4087. Data were generated using the standard formulation of this product.
