GW182 Antibody (2D6) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects GW182 in human samples through immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP). GW182 plays a pivotal role in the formation and maintenance of GW bodies (GWBs), which are essential for the regulation of microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) activities within the cell. These structures serve as critical storage and degradation sites for mRNAs, and their integrity is vital for effective gene silencing. Disruption of GWBs can lead to impaired silencing activity, which has significant implications in various diseases, including ataxia and Sjögren′s syndrome, where patients develop autoantibodies against GWB proteins. GW182, also known as the EMSY interactor protein, is ubiquitously expressed and interacts with endogenous argonaute-2 (Ago2), further emphasizing GW182′s importance in RNA regulation. Anti-GW182 antibody (2D6) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying the dynamics of RNA processing and the pathological mechanisms underlying diseases associated with GWB dysfunction.

Can GW182 (2D6): sc-56313 monoclonal antibody be used to stain formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections?

Asked by: jenniferc
Thank you for your question. Yes, GW182 (2D6): sc-56313 has been validated for use in IHC with paraffin-embedded sections. We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining
