WDR5 serves as a critical scaffolding component within the MLL/SET histone methyltransferase complexes, where it facilitates the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4, a modification strongly associated with active gene transcription. This WD40 repeat-containing protein has emerged as a significant focus in epigenetics research, particularly given its roles in embryonic development, stem cell self-renewal, and its documented involvement in various malignancies where it can act as a transcriptional coactivator for oncogenic programs.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 18D11, offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant technology. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs through controlled recombinant expression in rabbit host cells, you can expect consistent performance across experiments and between lot numbers, eliminating a common source of variability in long-term studies. Affinity chromatography purification ensures high purity suitable for demanding applications.
Validation testing demonstrates reliable performance across multiple experimental platforms. Immunohistochemistry studies using paraffin-embedded human testis tissue at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200 show specific staining following citrate buffer antigen retrieval. Flow cytometry analysis in HeLa cells confirms the antibody's utility for intracellular detection of WDR5, with clear separation between specific signal and isotype control when cells are fixed and permeabilized. These validated applications provide flexibility for researchers investigating WDR5 in both tissue context and single-cell analysis workflows.
For laboratories exploring chromatin regulation, transcriptional control mechanisms, or the epigenetic landscape of disease states, this antibody provides a dependable tool for detecting WDR5 in human samples across immunohistochemical and flow cytometric applications.
