Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificity
No alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed.
Purification
TOX Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
TOX antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human TOX. The immunogen is located within amino acids 130 - 180 of TOX.
TOX antibody can be used for detection of TOX by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Background
TOX Antibody: TOX (thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group (HMG) box protein) is a member of the HMG box family of DNA-binding proteins and likely plays a role in the regulation of T-cell development. It is a 526 amino acid nuclear protein and the expression of TOX is upregulated by pre-T cell receptor (pre-TCR) and TCR activation in immature thymocytes. TOX-mediated positive selection is associated with up-regulation of RUNX3 and is calcineurin dependent. TOX-dependent transition to the CD4+CD8 stage is required for development of class II major histocompatibility complex-specific T cells.
