Product Type Specific: Generic phosphotyrosine-specific antibody

Antibody Code: PG001

Antibody Target Type: Generic phosphotyrosine-specific

Antibody Phosphosite: Generic phospho

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Over 200 diverse phosphotyrosine phosphorylation site peptides

Antibody Immunogen Description: Diverse locations

Production Method: Over 400 immunizing phosphopeptides were produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purities were assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequences confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. These peptides were coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto agarose columns to which a phosphotyrosine-beta-alanine-cysteine was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, 0.05% Thimerasol

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human

Figure 2. Phosphoamino acid specificity of ~2 µg/ml PYK, ~5 µg/ml 4G10, ~5 µg/ml PY-20, and ~1 µg/ml PY-100 with 500 phosphopeptides on the Kinex™ (KPSM) Phosphopeptide Microarray. The peptide signals (normalized to median value) for each antibody and type of phosphorylated peptide were sorted in order of the strongest signal first.

Phosphotyrosine peptide reactivity of ~2 µg/ml PYK, ~5 µg/ml 4G10, ~5 µg/ml PY-20, and ~1 µg/ml PY-100 for 6099 phosphotyrosine-containing peptides on the Jerini JPT Phosphatase Peptide Microarray. The peptide signals (normalized to median value) for each antibody were sorted in order of the strongest signal first.
