Monoclonal Anti-PML (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the PML-97 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant full-length human PML (promyelocytic leukemia) protein. PML is characterized with cysteine-rich zinc-binding domains (RING), two B-boxes, an adjacent leucine coiled coil forming the RBCC or tripartite motif (TRIM), and a nuclear localization signal (NLS). The RING and B-box are important for the interaction of the PML protein with different proteins. In normal cells, the PML protein is found in nuclear bodies (PML NBs) whereas in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients, the PML NBs are disrupted and delocalized from PML NBs to nucleus and cytoplasm.

The PML gene is located on the human chromosome at 15q24.1.

Monoclonal Anti-PML recognizes human, mouse, and hamster PML (about 90 kDa)

recombinant full-length human PML (promyelocytic leukemia) protein.

Anti-PML antibody, Mouse monoclonal may be used in:

• enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunocytochemistry
• indirect immunofluorescence

A monoclonal antibody to promyelocytic leukemia (PML) is an important tool for studying PML function in normal and cancerous cells. In normal cells, the PML protein and the PML nuclear bodies play a role in different physiological processes such as: growth control, transcription, DNA repair, DNA replication and RNA transport.

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, and 15 mM sodium azide.

For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
