After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4℃ overnight. The primary is detected by a Goat anti-rabbit IgG polymer labeled by HRP and visualized using 0.05% DAB.

Description

POU2AF1, also known as BOB-1 or OCA-B, serves as a critical B-cell-specific transcriptional coactivator that partners with octamer-binding transcription factors to regulate immunoglobulin gene expression and B-cell differentiation. This protein plays essential roles in germinal center formation and the generation of effective humoral immune responses, making it a valuable marker for studying B-cell biology, lymphoma classification, and immune system development.

This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone 4A5, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding research applications require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined genetic sequences rather than traditional hybridoma methods, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity that supports reliable longitudinal studies and reproducible experimental outcomes. The antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide derived from human BOB1 and purified using affinity chromatography to ensure high specificity.

Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple applications. In Western blot analysis of Raji whole cell lysate, the antibody detects a band at approximately 35 kDa, which runs slightly higher than the predicted 28 kDa molecular weight. This size difference likely reflects post-translational modifications, particularly glycosylation, that are characteristic of the native protein. For immunohistochemistry, the antibody has been validated in paraffin-embedded human tonsil and appendix tissues, both of which contain abundant B-cell populations where POU2AF1 expression would be expected. These tissue validations confirm the antibody's utility for examining BOB-1 expression patterns in lymphoid compartments.

Whether investigating B-cell development, characterizing lymphoproliferative disorders, or exploring transcriptional regulation in immune cells, this antibody provides a reliable tool for epigenetics, nuclear signaling, and immunology research.

Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)

Transcriptional coactivator that specifically associates with either POU2F1/OCT1 or POU2F2/OCT2. It boosts the POU2F1/OCT1 mediated promoter activity and to a lesser extent, that of POU2F2/OCT2. It has no intrinsic DNA-binding activity. It recognizes the POU domains of POU2F1/OCT1 and POU2F2/OCT2. It is essential for the response of B-cells to antigens and required for the formation of germinal centers. Regulates IL6 expression in B cells as POU2F2/OCT2 coactivator.
