Ku86 Antibody (7) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Ku86 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). Ku86, also known as Ku80 or p80, is a crucial component of the Ku protein complex, which is primarily localized in the nucleus and consists of two subunits: Ku70 (p70) and Ku86 (p86). Anti-Ku86 antibody (7) plays a vital role in studying DNA repair and maintenance, particularly in the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, which is essential for repairing double-strand breaks in DNA. Ku86 maintains genomic stability, as deficiencies can lead to increased susceptibility to cancer and other genetic disorders. Additionally, Ku86 regulates transcription by interacting with various transcription factors and RNA polymerases, thereby influencing gene expression. Ku86′s ability to bind to DNA and facilitate the recruitment of repair proteins underscores its significance in cellular responses to DNA damage, making Ku86 (7) monoclonal antibody a valuable tool for research in cancer biology and therapeutic development.

I am using Ku-86 (7): sc-135964 for immunofluorescence, what dilution of this antibody should I use?

Asked by: jerojero
Thank you for your question. We recommend a starting dilution of 1:50. However, optimal antibody concentration should be determined by titration. Please find our full immunofluorescence protocol here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunofluorescence-cell-staining
