8-OHdG (DNA/RNA Damage) polyclonal antibody

8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8OHdG) is a modified base that occurs in DNA due to attack by hydroxyl radicals that are formed as byproducts and intermediates of aerobic metabolism and during oxidative stress. There is increasing evidence to support the involvement of free radical reactions in the damage of biomolecules that eventually lead to several diseases in humans, such as atherosclerosis, cerebral and heart ischemia-reperfusion injury, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, diabetes, aging, and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease.

8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine; 2'-Deoxy-8-oxoguanosine; 7,8-Dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine; 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine; 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydrodeoxyguanosine; 2'-Deoxy-8-oxo-D-guanosine; 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2μ-deoxyguanosine,8-Oxo-dG; 2'-Deoxy-8-hydroxyguanosine

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
