Product Name :
AICDA polyclonal antibody Background :
Activation-induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID, HIGM-2) is a 198-amino acid, RNA-editing enzyme that contains a conserved cytidine deaminase motif and plays an important role in B-cell terminal differentiation. AID is expressed in germinal center B cells and contributes to the production of neutralizing antibodies IgG, IgA, and IgE. Hyper-IgM syndrome (HIGM2) patients that have deficient levels of AID show the absence of immuno-globulin class switch recombination (CSR), lack of immuno-globulin somatic hypermutations, and lymph node hyperplasia mediated by the presence of giant germinal centers. Furthermore, AID-/- mice are defective in CSR and also show a hyper-IgM phenotype, characterized by enlarged germinal centers containing active B cells. AID thus appears to be required in several stages of B-cell terminal differentiation that are necessary for efficient antibody responses such as B cell proliferation, immunoglobulin somatic hypermutations and CSR.

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
