Puromycin-specific

Puromycin is an aminonucleoside antibiotic derived from the bacterial strain Streptomyces alboniger. Structurally resembling the 3' end of aminoacyl-tRNAs, it can bind to translating ribosomes and cause premature chain termination. Classically, protein biosynthesis has been monitored using pulse-chase and flooding dose methods which both employ radioactive amino acid labels.

Anti Puromycin mAb (Clone 3RH11) CAC-PEN-MA001 MS -
Product name Anti Puromycin mAb (Clone 3RH11)
Cat No CAC-PEN-MA001
Description Analysis using puromycin immunodetection is an advantageous alternative to radioactive amino acid labeling and allows for the direct evaluation/quantification of translation using standard immunochemical methods.

Features
1) Easy to evaluate and quantify protein biosynthesis
2) An alternative to the traditional pulse-chase method that relies on radioactive amino acids
3) Applicable to Western blot and ELISA analyses

Human fibroblasts (TIG-1 cells) were plated in 12-well plates and cultured till 80% confluent. Puromycin (final conc. 0 uM and 5 uM) was added to the medium of the cells 80 min before harvest. Wells were washed with PBS, followed by addition of 1mL buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl (pH8.0) + protease inhibitor) and then ultrasonic fragmentation. Lysate was centrifuged (4°C, 12,000 g, 20 min) and supernatant was collected for downstream assays (Western Blotting, ELISA). Loaded 15 ug/lane. Primary Antibody (anti puromycin [CAC-PEN-MA001]) 1:1,000 dilution (1 ug/mL). Secondary Antibody (anti mouse Ig-HRP, DAKO, Cat.No. P0161)1:2,000 dilution
