Antibody s specificity
Detects ~60kDa. Also detects ~92kDa. Cross reactivity with human HSP60 has been observed with this antibody in immunoblot analysis. Reacts weakly with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, consistent with the epitope sequence being AKLRS (instead of AKLRA). In C. elegans, it reacts with TCP1 alpha and another CCT subunit. In plants, it recognizes TCP1 of Pisum sativum, and the sequence of Arabidopsis thalania TCP1 over the region of the epitope AKLRA. It has also been shown that it reacts with a subunit of a specialized chaperonin which folds phytochrome.

Scientific context
T-complex polypeptide-1 (TCP1) is a ~60 kDa protein constitutively expressed in almost all eukaryotic cells, and is up-regulated during spermatogenesis. It is found in the cytosol as a subunit of a hetero-oligomeric chaperone that is known to be involved in the folding of actin and tubulin. The family of proteins termed chaperonins act to recognize and stabilize polypeptide intermediates during folding, assembly and disassembly, and share many characteristics with Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP 70) including high abundance, induction by environmental stress, and ATPase activity. The chaperonin family includes the mitochondrial HSP60, Escherichia coli GroEL, the plastid Rubisco-subunit binding protein, and the archaebacterial protein TF55. The TCP1 sequence shows nearly 40% identity to TF55, but only minimal similarity to HSP60 and GroEL.

Description
The Anti-Mouse TCP1-alpha Monoclonal IgG2a, Clone 91a is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood. This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided. Antibody for research use.

About
Monoclonals of this antigen are available in different clones. Each murine monoclonal anibody has his own affinity specific for the clone. Mouse monoclonal antibodies are purified protein A or G and can be conjugated to FITC for flow cytometry or FACS and can be of different isotypes. Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.

Test
Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
