Product Specifications

Immunogen

This affinity purified BMI-1 Antibody was prepared from whole goat serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 252-264 of human BMI-1 protein. (Uniprot: P35226)

Reactivity Notes

A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with BMI-1 protein from human, rat, orangutan, dog, chimpanzee, bovine and cat based on 100% homology to the immunogen sequence. This sequence shows significant homology to homologues from Xenopus and chicken sources. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Scientific Data Images for BMI-1 Antibody

Western Blot: BMI-1 Antibody [NB600-487]

Western Blot: BMI-1 Antibody [NB600-487]

Western Blot: BMI-1 Antibody [NB600-487] - Analysis of a band 37 kDa corresponding to human Bmi1 (arrowhead). Approximately 20 ug of a U2OS whole cell lysate (bone osteosarcoma) was separated by 4-20% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose. After blocking in PBS containing 5% nonfat dry milk, the membrane was probed overnight at 4 C with the primary antibody diluted to 1:1,000 in PBS containing 1% nonfat dry milk. The membrane was washed and reacted with a 1:20,000 dilution of IRDye800 conjugated Rb-a-Goat IgG [H&L] MX for 45 min at room temperature.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: BMI-1 Antibody [NB600-487]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: BMI-1 Antibody [NB600-487]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: BMI-1 Antibody [NB600-487] - Nuclear staining (green) of methanol fixed (100%, 5 min) HepG2 cells. The cells were blocked and permeabilized in 1%BSA / 10% normal donkey serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h prior to incubation with the primary antibody (1:200 dilution) overnight at +4C and detected with a 488nm fluorescent dye conjugated secondary Ab. Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue) and plasma membranes are stained with WGA (red).

Background: BMI-1

The Bmi1 oncogene induces telomerase activity and immortalizes human mammary epithelial cells. Bmi1 extends the replicative life span of human fibroblasts by suppressing the p16-dependent senescence pathway. Polycomb group (PcG) genes are involved in the maintenance of cellular memory through epigenetic chromatin modifications. Recent studies have implicated a role for PcG genes in the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), a process in which cellular memory is maintained through cell division. Among the PcG genes, Bmi1 plays a central role in the inheritance of stemness, and its forced expression promotes HSC self-renewal. These findings highlight the importance of epigenetic regulation in HSC self-renewal and identify PcG genes as potential targets for therapeutic HSC manipulation. Involved in maintaining the transcriptionally repressive state of genes. Modifies chromatin, rendering it heritably changed in its expressibility.
