Description: This 1A9-3B11 monoclonal antibody reacts with human LMO2, a member of the LIM-only family of zinc finger proteins. LMO2 possesses two LIM domains for homodimerization and an N-terminal transactivation domain. This 24-kDa transcription factor can be found as part of a transcriptional complex composed of TAL1, E47, GATA-1, and LDB1 proteins. LMO2 is expressed in myeloid cells, germinal center B cells, vascular endothelium, and a variety of cancers, including diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL), T cell acute lymphoblastic lymphomas, and vascular neoplasms. Expression of LMO2 in germinal center B cells has been shown to be regulated by microRNAs, specifically hsa-miR-223. Although the function of LMO2 remains unclear in germinal center B cells, this factor is involved in hematopoiesis and oncogenesis. In addition, expression of this molecule has been demonstrated to be prognostic marker for survival in DLBCL patients.
Applications Reported: This 1A9-3B11 antibody has been reported for use in immunohistochemical staining.
Applications Tested: This 1A9-3B11 antibody has been tested by immunohistochemistry on human tonsil tissue and western blot on the Raji cell line. This can be used at 0.5-10 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC.
Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
LMO2 encodes a cysteine-rich, two LIM-domain protein that is required for yolk sac erythropoiesis. The LMO2 protein has a central and crucial role in hematopoietic development and is highly conserved. The LMO2 transcription start site is located approximately 25 kb downstream from the 11p13 T-cell translocation cluster (11p13 ttc), where a number T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-specific translocations occur. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
