Aufreinigung
Acinus Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Acinus antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids near the C-terminus of the cleaved active peptide p17, which are identical to those of mouse Acinus. The immunogen is located within amino acids 1050 - 1100 of Acinus.
Acinus antibody can be used for detection of Acinus by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. An approximate 220 kDa band can be detected. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 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.

Acinus Antibody: Chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation (CCNF) is the hallmark of apoptosis. CCNF is triggered by the activation of members of caspase family, caspase activated DNase (CAD/DFF40), and several novel proteins including AIF and CIDE. A new inducer of chromatin condensation was recently identified and designated Acinus (for apoptotic chromatin condensation inducer in the nucleus). Acinus is cleaved by caspase-3 and an additional unknown protease generating a small active peptide p17, which causes chromatin condensation in vitro when it is added to purified nuclei. Acinus also induces apoptotic chromatin condensation in cells. Acinus is ubiquitously expressed. Three different spliced forms of Acinus have been identified in human and mouse and designated AcinusL, AcinusS and AcinusS'.
