Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antibody

AIF antibody in Human Colon by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

AIF in Human Colon.

AIF was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human colon using Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5824) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (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 Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line, Hepa 1-6 mouse hepatoma cell line, and L6 rat myoblast cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5824) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for AIF at approximately 65 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.
Detection of Human AIF antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human AIF by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for AIF at approximately 69 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat AIF Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5824) followed by 1:50 dilution ofHRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

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.
