TTK Antibody (D-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects TTK protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). anti-TTK antibody (D-8) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. TTK protein plays a crucial role in cell cycle regulation, particularly during the transition from G1 to S phase and peaking in G2 to M phase, where TTK is essential for proper cell division and proliferation. As a member of the serine-threonine/tyrosine family of protein kinases, TTK is expressed in a wide range of proliferating human cells and tissues, with TTK expression significantly reduced or absent in resting cells or those with a low proliferative index. Cloning of the full-length TTK sequence from a human T cell expression library using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, along with isolation of TTK mouse homolog from an embryonal carcinoma cell line, underscores TTK importance in cellular processes. Increase in TTK mRNA, protein, and kinase activity during cell cycle progression suggests TTK is a vital component in cell division regulation, making TTK (D-8) antibody an invaluable tool for researchers studying cell cycle dynamics and related pathways.

What formulation would you recommend diluting the antibody in for Westerns and at what dilution?

Asked by: MA RA
Thank you for your question. We recommend using 5% nonfat milk + TBST (0.05% Tween-20) for blocking and incubating both primary and secondary antibodies for Western blotting. We recommend a starting dilution of 1:200 (range of 1:100-1:1,000).

Would you recommend 5% BSA or milk powder to dilute the antibody for Western Blot?

Asked by: Geli Patho HD
Thank you for your question. Our recommended blocking reagent that we also use in our labs is UltraCruz® Blocking Reagent: sc-516214. If you are using dry milk powder or BSA instead, 5 % dry milk powder in TBS-T is generally better for antibodies that bind very prominently and produce a lot of unspecific binding and false positive western blot signals. Antibodies that do not bind as strongly are better incubated with 5 % BSA in TBS-T. Since BSA only contains one type of protein, its blocking effect is not as broad and is better than milk powder if the target protein is not expressed abundantly or the antibody only binds to its target with lower efficiency. It is also important to use only BSA and not milk powder when working with phospho-specific antibodies.

Can this antibody be used for chromosome spreads (PFA)?

Asked by: mlamb
Thank you for your question. This antibody has not been validated specifically for chromosome spreads, however it did perform well in IF and IHC with PFA fixed cells and tissue sections. Please contact Technical Service by phone, (800)-457-3801 option 2, email <scbt@scbt.com>, or by live chat directly on our website, www.scbt.com if you have any further questions.

Can TTK (D-8): sc-376842 monoclonal antibody be used to stain formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections?

Asked by: AbPolly
Thank you for your question. Yes, TTK (D-8): sc-376842 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
