This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids surrounding K294 of human Hsp90.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against human Hsp90 protein acetylated at K294. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using acetyl-peptide coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption against non-acetyl peptide. While ELISA data show strong reactivity with the acetylated form of the immunizing peptide and minimal reactivity with the non-acetylated form, to date western blotting data are not definitive for acetyl K294 specificity as blots show equivalent staining of lysates from cells either treated or untreated with Trichostatin A (an HDAC inhibitor) . A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Hsp90 from human, mouse, rat, monkey, chicken and Drosophila based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity of this antibody with Hsp90 from other species is unknown.

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry and western blot. This antibody reacts strongly with the acetylated form of the immunizing peptide and shows minimal reactivity with the non-acetylated form when tested by ELISA. To date, western blotting shows equivalent staining of lysates either treated or untreated with Trichostatin A (an HDAC inhibitor) . Therefore, western blotting results are not definitive for demonstrating the specificity of this reagent. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 90 kDa in size corresponding to Hsp90 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
