MDR1/ABCB1 Antibody (C219) Summary
Immunogen
SDS-solubilized plasma membranes of a multidrug resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line and a human cell line.
Epitope
This antibody recognizes an internal, highly conserved amino acid sequence: VQEALD and VQAALD, corresponding to the C-terminal and N-terminal regions, respectively, found in both MDR1 and MDR3 isoforms of P Glycoprotein.
Localization
Cell Membrane; Integral membrane protein
Specificity
The specific binding of the clone C219 was stronger in epitope sequence VQAALD (N-Terminal fragment) than the epitope sequence VQEALD (C-terminal fragmant) (Georges E., et al., 1990).Analysis of p-glycoprotein expression in skeletal and cardiac muscle revealed that C219 cross reacts with a 200kDa protein that migrates in the same position as myosin. C219 has also been reported to detect the 185kDa c-erbB2 protein (Liu, et al 1997). Care should be taken in the interpretation of true positive P-glycoprotein expression when using myosin-containing tissues or tissues known to have p185 c-erbB2 expression.

IHC-P: Use for Biotin-based detection systems. Sections should be pre-treated with an antigen unmasking solution. *Human liver (positive staining detected along luminal surfaces of bile canaliculi) or human colon (positive staining localized to luminal surface of secretaory epithelium) can be used as positive controls for IHC. **For optimal staining, the primary antibody should be incubated 60 minutes at room temperature. NOTE: Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Blocking of ATP hydrolysis by MDR1 confirmed by literature (PMID 1680871, 9016791, 10570132)

Background
MDR1 is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). MDR1 is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump for xenobiotic compounds with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier. (provided by RefSeq)

FAQs for MDR1/ABCB1 Antibody (NB600-1036). (Showing 1 - 5 of 5 FAQs).
I have received MDR1 Antibody NB600-1036; Lot D12DF00689 with no information on the concentration, would you please let me know the concentration of this lot?
I am showing that your lot should have a concentration of 72.3 ug/mL.
I’m looking at NB600-1036 anti-MDR1 antibody for my work to inhibit PGP ATP binding and hydrolysis. Has this been proven with your company's antibody? I don’t see it being listed as one of the applications. Would you also know how much of the antibody to be added to PGP for inhibition, and also what is the extent of inhibition?
NB600-1036 has never been tested for its ability to inhibit ATP binding. Furthermore, the published epitopes recognized by this antibody, VQEALD and VQAALD are not present in the ATP binding domain of MDR1. Please see the Features Section of UniProt P08183. It does not seem that this antibody would be predicted to inhibit ATP binding. However, customer feedback has shown that this clone C219 has inhibited PGP ATP hydrolysis in the following papers: Modulation of ATP and drug binding by monoclonal antibodies against P-glycoprotein. and Functional modulation of ATPase of P-glycoprotein by C219, a monoclonal antibody against P-glycoprotein. As well as a crystal structure about C219 binding to the protein in the following paper: Antibody C219 recognizes an a-helical epitope on P-glycoprotein. Despite the fact that we have never tested this process here at Novus, work published by others would suggest this antibody is capable of inhibition of PGP ATP binding and hydrolysis. Novus encourages feedback on applications that were previously un-tested by our lab through our Innovator's Reward Program.
Does this product NB600-1036 react with your purified recombinant MDR1 Protein product H00005243-Q01 ? We want to use the recombinant protein as a positive control for western blot and need to make sure this antibody will detect it.
Our product NB600-1036 recognizes two separate epitope regions. One that corresponds to aa 1214-1219 of the human MDR1 protein and one that recognizes aa 571-576 of the human MDR3 protein. These regions are conserved in both proteins. Unfortunately, the partial recombinant protein H00005243-Q01 does not include either of these regions. This protein was made to aa620-710 of the human MDR1 protein.
Before loading the sample, do I need to boil the sample?
The protein target of this antibody is MDR1, which is a very large protein with multiple transmembrane domains, according to human proteins. Unfortunately, Novus does not have the standard procedure/recommendation for preparing the lysates. However we have heard many variations of lysate preparations before loading onto the SDS-PAGE gel. For those proteins having lipid moieties linking to the polypeptide chains, boiling but let it sit at room temperature for 30 min is recommended. Since MDR1 is a multi-transmembrane protein, some lipid chains may be attaching to the protein, so you could try this method. We also know that for the big transmembrane proteins, 1% SDS (instead of 0.1% SDS) is used in the RIPA buffer for totally disrupting the protein complexes with the membranes; you could also consider it. Of course the standard method of adding SDS-sample buffer and boiling for 3 min could be tried too. We would recommend using a small amount of antibody for a couple of lysate-SDS preparation methods to optimize the WB experimental conditions.
What is the best condition for primary antibody incubation? Is it 4 C overnight or room temperature for 1 hour?
We prefer to do the primary antibody treatment at 4 C overnight, due to the fact that the non-specific interaction will be lesser at the lower temperature. However our WB protocol recommends both overnight and 1 hr (at room temperature): Protocol. If you are interested, you could check our paper citations, where this antibody was used in WB: 5 papers; some may be helpful and suggestive. This antibody uses 1:200 dilution.
