TRIM5 alpha Antibody [Alexa Fluor™ Plus 680] Summary

• Immunogen: Antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the C-terminus of rhesus monkey TRIM5 alpha. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of TRIM5 alpha. Amino Acid Squence: SFSKPVFPYLNPRK
• Specificity: Anti-TRIM5 alpha is human specific but should presumably also react with rhesus protein.
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: TRIM5
• Purity: Peptide affinity purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • ELISA
  • Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence
  • Western Blot
• Application Notes: Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at 4C in the dark.
• Buffer: 50mM Sodium Borate

Background

TRIM5-alpha is a protein that is found in the cells of many mammals and fends of various retrovirus infections. It protects monkeys from infection with HIV-1, and humans from infection with some other viruses. If a retrovirus has entered a cell, it needs to shed its capsid in order to reversely transcribe its genes, so that they can be expressed by the host cell. It is believed that TRIM5 alpha, which is present in the cytoplasm, somehow recognizes the capsid and blocks its shedding, thereby stopping the virus in its tracks. It thus represents an intracellular defense completely separate from the rest of the body's immune system.
