- Extra Details:
- MaxLight™ 490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73,000. Thymidylate synthase (TS) has been found to be an important cellular enzyme that converts dUMP to dTMP, which is essential for DNA biosynthesis. TS appears to catalyze the reductive methylation of dUMP by 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to generate thymidylate and dihydrofolate. TS is a crucial target for 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in the de novo pathway of pyrimidine synthesis, which is necessary for DNA synthesis. Elevated tumor In early-stage breast cancer, high TS expression is associated with a significantly worse prognosis in node-positive patients. While high TS levels in the tumor have been associated with poor prognosis and with resistance of tumors to 5-FU therapy, low tumor TS expression has been linked to better 5-FU response and survival. TS has, also, been found to be a critical cellular target for the fluoropyrimidine cytotoxic drugs that are widely used in the treatment of solid tumors. The antibody TS106 specifically reacts with the human TS and displays negligible cross-reactivity with other cellular proteins found in human cells. On Western Blot analysis, TS106 detects a protein of approximately 36kD under denaturing conditions. Applications: Suitale for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and FLISA. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 5-10ug/ml FLISA: <0.1ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Colorectal, gastric, head and neck, and breast carcinomas Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™490 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
