DUX4 Antibody (P4H2) - Azide and BSA Free

Western Blot: DUX4 Antibody (P4H2) - Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-80703] - Total protein from human testis tissue and human K562, HeLa and HepG2 cell lines was separated on a 12% gel by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane and blocked in 5% non-fat milk in TBST. The membrane was probed with 2.0 ug/ml anti-DUX4 in 1% non-fat milk in TBST and detected with an anti-mouse HRP secondary antibody using chemiluminescence.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: DUX4 Antibody (P4H2) - Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-80703] - A small number of FSHD muscle cells express a relatively large amount of DUX4. Cultured FSHD muscle cells were differentiated and immunostained with mAbs to DUX4. Cells were co-stained with the E5-5 rabbit mAb to the DUX4 C-terminal region (panels a, c, e) and the P2G4 mouse mAb to the N-term. region (panels b,d,f), or co-stained with the P4H2 mouse mAb to the C-terminal region and the E14-3 rabbit mAb to the N-term. region. Approximately 1 cell per 1000 showed nuclear staining and the co-localization of both the N-term. and C-term. regions indicates that these cells are expressing the full-length DUX4 protein. No positive nuclei were apparent in the control muscle cultures.

Background

DUX4 (also known as Double homeobox 4) is the leading candidate causative gene for facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), a degenerative skeletal muscle disease and one of the most common muscular dystrophies. FSHD is caused by the deletion of a subset of D4Z4 macrosatellite repeats on chromosome 4. Each repeat contains a retrogene encoding the double-homeobox factor DUX4. DUX4 expression is epigenetically suppressed in differentiated tissues and the residual DUX4 transcripts are spliced to remove the carboxyterminal domain that has been associated with cell toxicity. In FSHD individuals, the expression of the full-length DUX4 transcript is not completely suppressed in skeletal muscle, and possibly other differentiated tissues, and results in a small percentage of cells expressing relatively abundant amounts of the full-length DUX4 mRNA and protein.
