Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antibody

AIF antibody in MCF-7 Human Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

AIF in MCF-7 Human Cell Line.

Apoptosis Inducing Factor (AIF) was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1457) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 493-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (green; Catalog # NL006) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat AIF antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat AIF by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line, CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line, DA3 mouse myeloma cell line, and PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1457) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF008). A specific band was detected for AIF at approximately 67 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.
AIF antibody in Jurkat Human Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

AIF in Jurkat Human Cell Line.

AIF was detected in immersion fixed staurosporine-stimulated Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1457) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the Northern-Lights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (yellow; Catalog # NL004) and counter-stained with DAPI (blue).

Background: AIF

Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF, also known as programmed cell death protein 8) is a 58 kDa member of the FAD-dependent oxidoreductase family of molecules. It is ubiquitously expressed and found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. AIF likely acts as a mitochondrial antioxidant providing protection via NADH oxidase activity. Upon release from the mitochondria, AIF passes into the nucleus where it initiates apoptosis. Human AIF precursor is 67 kDa in size and 613 amino acids (aa) in length and contains a cleavable N-terminal 102 aa mitochondrial localization sequence, followed by a spacer region (aa 103‑129) and an oxidoreductase domain (aa 130‑613) that possesses an NLS (aa 446‑451). Over aa 121‑613, human AIF shares 95% aa identity with mouse AIF.
