  IF Staining of HepG2 using CL488-11708

  Immunofluorescent analysis of (4% PFA) fixed HepG2 cells using CoraLite® Plus 488 SMN antibody (CL488-11708) at dilution of 1:200, CL594-Phalloidin (red).

• 

  FC experiment of HepG2 using CL488-11708

  1x10^6 HepG2 cells were intracellularly stained with 0.4 ug CoraLite® Plus 488-conjugated SMN Polyclonal antibody (CL488-11708)(red), or 0.4 ug CoraLite® Plus 488-conjugated Rabbit IgG control Rabbit PolyAb (CL488-30000) (blue). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Perm Buffer (PF00011-C).

Background Information

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of anterior horn cells in the spinal cord and concomitant symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy (PMID: 16364894 ). SMA is caused by deletion or mutations of the survival motor neuron (SMN1) gene. SMA patients lack a functional SMN1 gene, but they possess an intact SMN2 gene, which though nearly identical to SMN1, is only partially functional (PMID: 17355180). A large majority of SMN2 transcripts lack exon 7, resulting in production of a truncated, less stable SMN protein (PMID: 10369862). The level of SMN protein correlates with phenotypic severity of SMA. This antibody, 11708-1-AP, raised against the recombinant full-length human SMN2 protein, recognizes all isoforms of SMN protein.
