<strong>Polyclonal</strong> <strong>Antibody</strong> against <strong>Drosophila</strong><br />

<strong>HP1</strong><br />

Form:<br />

Antiserum<br />

Host:<br />

Rabbit<br />

Species Reactivity:<br />

<strong>Drosophila</strong><br />

<strong>Drosophila</strong> <strong>HP1</strong> <strong>Polyclonal</strong> <strong>Antibody</strong><br />

Catalog Number: <strong>PRB</strong>-<strong>291C</strong><br />

Available Size: 0.2 mL<br />

Specificity:<br />

The <strong>Drosophila</strong> <strong>HP1</strong> protein, product of the Su(var)2-5 locus, is a dose-dependent regulator of gene silencing. <strong>HP1</strong> interacts<br />

with compacted chromatin (heterochromatin) via its chromodomain (CD). <strong>HP1</strong> antisera staining of polytene chromosomes<br />

decorates pericentric heterochromaticn and a banded heterochromatic pattern on the small 4th chromosome. The <strong>HP1</strong> protein<br />

is also known to interact with a number of transcriptional regulators via its chromoshadow domain (CSD), suggesting that <strong>HP1</strong> is<br />

a bridging factor that couples particular chromatin structures with effects on gene expression. This antibody was raised against<br />

full-length recombinant <strong>Drosophila</strong> <strong>HP1</strong> protein, and has been shown to specifically stain <strong>Drosophila</strong> polytene chromosomes.<br />

Uses:<br />

This antibody is effective in immunostaining.<br />

Suggested Working Dilution:<br />

The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition. This antibody is sold for laboratory<br />

research use only, not for human or in-vivo use. Covance antibodies may not be resold or modified for resale without prior<br />

written approval.<br />

• Immunostaining: 1:200<br />

Storage:<br />

Store at -20°C. Upon initial thawing, apportion into working<br />

aliquots and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw<br />

cycles to prevent denaturing the antibody. For long-term<br />

storage, keep the antibody at -80°C.<br />
