Reactivity
Isochrysis galbana, Algae
(tested or 100% immunogen sequence identity)
Predicted
Algae (at least 90% immunogen sequence identity)
Immunogen
This affinity-purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region near amino acids 50-75 of Isochrysis galbana PCNA.
Specificity
A BLAST analysis was used to suggest that this antibody would react with PCNA from the following alga sources: Prorocentrum minimum, Tetraselmis chui, Pleurochrysis carterae and Isochrysis galbana. Expect partial reactivity with PCNA from other alga sources as well as carrot, tobacco, peas, soybean and rice based on partial protein sequence homology. Species that have been tested but yielded no positive results are Pfiesteria piscicida, Emiliania huxleyi, Akashiwo sanguinea, Rhodomonas sp., Karlodinium micrum, and Skletonema costatum. Reactivity with PCNA from other sources has not been determined.
