Anti-OASL antibody produced in rabbit

59 kDa 2′→5′-Oligoadenylate synthetase-like protein recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anti-OASL antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

OASL (2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase-like) is a 59kDa protein that is an atypical member of the OAS family as it does not possess the characteristic 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthetase activity. It exhibits an antiviral effect against the single-stranded RNA viruses, such as, picornavirus, encephalomyocarditis virus. It inhibits hepatitis C viral replication in vitro. OASL interacts with the transcriptional repressor Methyl CpG-binding protein 1 (MBD1) upon interferon stimulation.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
