Description

The eBio911 antibody reacts with mouse activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), a member of the cytidine deaminase family, which was cloned from a mouse B-cell lymphoma line induced by combined stimulation with transforming growth factor-beta, interleukin-4, and CD40 ligand. The human AID gene encodes a 198-amino acid protein containing a conserved cytidine deaminase motif. The human AID protein shares 92% amino acid identity with mouse AID. RT-PCR analysis of 15 human tissues detected strong expression of AID mRNA in lymph nodes and tonsils.
Class switch recombination (CSR) is a region-specific DNA recombination reaction that replaces one immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy-chain constant region gene with another. This enables a single variable region gene to be used in conjunction with different downstream heavy-chain constant region genes, each having a unique biologic activity. AID, a putative RNA editing enzyme, is required for this action.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBio911 antibody has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB).

Applications Tested

This eBio911 antibody has been tested by immunoblotting mouse AID-transfected 293T cells. This can be used for immunoblotting at a dilution of 1:500-1:1000. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
