PMS2 serves as an essential component of the DNA mismatch repair machinery, functioning as part of the MutLα heterodimer alongside MLH1 to maintain genomic stability during replication. This protein plays a critical role in recognizing and correcting base-base mismatches and insertion-deletion loops, making it a key focus in cancer research, particularly in studies of Lynch syndrome and microsatellite instability in colorectal and other hereditary cancers.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5D3, offers researchers the consistency and reliability that comes with sequence-defined production. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, recombinant technology ensures lot-to-lot reproducibility, allowing you to maintain experimental continuity across long-term studies without the variability that can compromise data interpretation.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates this antibody's versatility in your workflow. Western blot analysis confirms robust detection of PMS2 in HEK293, COLO-205, and HeLa whole cell lysates, with the observed band appearing at approximately 120 kDa rather than the predicted 96 kDa molecular weight. This size difference is commonly attributed to post-translational modifications, particularly glycosylation, which is characteristic of many nuclear proteins involved in DNA repair processes. Immunohistochemistry validation in paraffin-embedded human glioma tissue shows clear nuclear staining patterns consistent with PMS2's function in DNA repair, while flow cytometry analysis in PC-3 cells demonstrates suitability for single-cell applications.
This antibody supports investigations into mismatch repair deficiency, tumor progression mechanisms, and biomarker development for hereditary cancer syndromes, providing a dependable tool for both basic research and translational studies in oncology.
