Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific to human XRCC2 (it does not bind to other RAD51 paralogs). XRCC2 is a paralog of RAD51 which is a homologue of RecA (E. coli). It is engaged in homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway of double-stranded DNA of chromosomal fragmentations and deletions. |
Alternative Name | XRay Repair Cross Complementing 2; XRay Repair Cross Complementing Protein 2; DNA repair protein XRCC2; X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 2; XRCC2 7B7; 7B7 |
UniProt | O43543 |
Immunogen | This antibody was raised by immunising mice with the denaturated recombinant human XRCC2 protein which had been previously amplified and purified from E. coli. |
Application Notes | WB: XRCC2 7B7/3 (7B7) antibody was used to visualise XRCC2 on Western blots in multiple experiments (e.g. after previous gel filtration of infected pf9 cells; after immunoprecipitation with different antibodies and others) in a study on the RAD51 paralogs' complexes and their role in genetic recombination (Masson et al., 2001). |

Note on publication | This article describes the earliest use of XRCC2 7B7/3 (7B7/3) antibody to detect XRCC2 protein via Western blotting. However, the exact process of generation of this antibody is described in the following paper (where similar antibodies were generated): Masson, J. Y., Stasiak, A. Z., Stasiak, A., Benson, F. E., & West, S. C. (2001). Complex formation by the human RAD51C and XRCC3 recombination repair proteins. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 98(15), 8440-8446. |
