Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Purification
AID Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
AID antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human AID. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of AID.
AID antibody can be used for detection of AID by Western blot at 2 μ,g/mL. Anti-AID is human and mouse reactive. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

AID Antibody: Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) was initially discovered as a homolog of the apolipoprotein B RNA-editing cytidine deaminase 1 (APOBEC1) that showed cytidine deaminase properties in stimulated B cell lines. It is necessary for somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination in B cells, but inappropriate or dysregulated expression AID is often found in tumors and B cell neoplasms. Although it is structurally and functionally similar to the APOBEC proteins, it appears unlikely that AID deaminates dC to dU residues in HIV cDNA as does APOBEC3G.
