Invitrogen™ Phospho-4EBP1 (Thr36, Thr45) Monoclonal Antibody (V3NTY24), PE, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description
Description: The V3NTY24 monoclonal antibody recognizes human and mouse eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) when phosphorylated at threonine 37 and/or threonine 46. 4E-BP1 is a member of a family of translation repressor proteins that include 4E-BP2 and 4E-BP3. In its non-phosphorylated form, 4E-BP1 binds to the eIF4E translation initiation factor and represses cap-dependent translation. Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 at multiple sites is necessary to disrupt this interaction and de-repress cap-dependent translation. Studies have identified several kinases that phosphorylate 4E-BP1. For instance, FRAP/mTOR phosphorylates Thr37 and Thr46, while ATM phosphorylates Ser111. Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 at Thr37 and Thr46 is inhibited by the PI3 kinase inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin. Applications Reported: This V3NTY24 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This V3NTY24 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.06 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Antibodies are tested and validated in a variety of ways. First, we verify that in a panel of cells in which different pathways have been induced, we see phosphorylation specific staining only in the cells in which the specific pathway of interest has been activated. Second, we verify that phosphorylation specific staining is observed only in cell types in which the protein is expressed and not in cell types in which the protein is not expressed. Third, whenever possible, western immunoblotting is used to confirm the presence of a band(s) of the appropriate size(s) in stimulated/treated cells (and not in unstimulated/untreated cells, as appropriate).
We have data demonstrating that fixed cells stored in methanol are stable at -20 degrees C or at -80 degrees C for several weeks. We do not recommend storing fixed cells in eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer. However, cells fixed with eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer or eBioscience Intracellular (IC) fixation buffer can be stored in eBioscience IC fixation buffer for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark.
Note: Please be aware that higher compensation values may be seen with tandem dyes if any other fixative is used apart from eBioscience IC fixation buffer, for 3-day storage.
Each antibody has been tested in three different buffer systems: IC fixation and permeabilization, Foxp3/Transcription Factor Buffer, and IC fixation Buffer/Methanol. The recommended buffer system(s) will be noted on the Technical Data Sheet for the specific antibody.
Because methanol can destroy the epitope recognized by some antibodies, ideally surface staining would be performed at the beginning of the protocol with a methanol-resistant fluorochrome (like eFluor 450, FITC, and eFluor 660).
Please recognize that surface staining before stimulation can have undesired effects due to activation of the cell caused by antibody binding. We recommend staining after stimulation/treatment, fixation, and methanol treatment.
In general, you can use other companies' buffer systems provided that their buffers are of a similar composition as the buffers recommended. Be aware that results will vary depending upon the buffer system used. eBioscience antibodies have been optimized for use in eBioscience buffers and we have not tested all of our antibodies in other buffer systems. Thus, we highly recommend using our optimized protocol and buffer systems.
