Anti-8-oxo-dG Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 1F7)

Anti-8-oxo-dG Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 1F7)
 
The anti-8-oxo-dG antibody allows detection and quantitation of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine (8-oxo-dG, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine, or 7-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine) in DNA, cell, and tissue samples.

The 8-oxo-dG lesion is the most common form of base change caused by oxidative stress. Attack by free radical oxygen occurs at the N7-C8 bond of guanine resulting in the formation of the oxidized base.

DNA polymerases preferentially insert adenine opposite 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine, therefore, without repair these oxidative damage adducts can lead to G to T transitions. The 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine lesions result in mutational frequencies of 1-5% (mainly G:C to T:A transitions).
 

 
Immunogen: 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine.
     
Specificity: The antibody has similar binding affinity for 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine. Cross reaction with guanine and guanosine occurs at concentrations 800 to 20,000-fold higher than for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine. The antibody will cross react with structurally related 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine derivatives, e.g. 5- hydroxymethyluridine. Limited cross reaction with denatured calf thymus has been observed, and as a result, this should be avoided as a blocking agent in immunocytochemistry.
     
Subtype: IgG1  
     
Preparation: The antibody is purified from mouse ascites and is provided in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.01% sodium azide.
     
Applications:
•   Immunocytochemistry
•   ELISA
       
Storage: Store at 4°C. For long term storage, divide into working aliquots and freeze at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thawings.

Anti-8-oxo-dG Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 4E9)

Anti-8-oxo-dG Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 4E9)
 
Mutagenic reactive oxygen species are implicated in cancer, degenerative disorders such as Alzeihmer's disease, and in apoptosis. Oxidative damage can cause formation of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine, often termed 8-oxo-dG. The production of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine is almost exclusively elicited by oxidative stress with the main attack site at the N7-C8 bond by oxidative radicals. DNA polymerases preferentially insert adenine opposite 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine, therefore, without repair these oxidative damage adducts can lead to G to T transitions. The 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine lesion causes mutational frequencies of 1- 5% (mainly G:C to T:A transitions) and is one of the most abundant oxidative lesions.
 
 
Physical State: Purified IgG is provided in phosphate buffered saline with 0.01% sodium azide as preservative.
     
Immunogen: 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine containing dinucleotide coupled to BSA.
     
Specificity: The antibody has similar binding affinity for 8- hydroxydeoxyguanosine and for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo guanine. This antibody recognizes the 8-oxoG as a single nucleotide.  
     
Ig Class: IgG
     
Applications:
•   Immunostaining
•   ELISA
       
Storage: Store at 4°C for short term. For long term storage, divide into working aliquots and freeze at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thawings.

Anti-8-oxo-dG Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 4A6)
 
Mutagenic reactive oxygen species are implicated in cancer, degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's diseaseą, and in apoptosis. Oxidative damage can cause formation of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine, often termed 8-oxo0dG. The production of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine is almost exclusively elicited by oxidative stress with the main attack site at the N7-C8 bond of guanine by oxidative radicals. DNA polymerases prefentially insert adenine opposite 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanine, therefore without repair these oxidative damage adducts can lead to G to T transitions.

Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit

Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit
 
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical (O2-) into hydrogen peroxide (H202) and elemental oxygen (O2), and as such, provides an important defense against the toxicity of superoxide radical. Overexpression of SOD protects murine fibrosarcoma cells from apoptosis and promotes cell differentiation (1). SOD also inhibits adriamycin-induced apoptosis in murine peritoneal macrophages (2). Superoxide ions, generated from the conversion of xanthine to uric acid and hydrogen peroxide by xanthine oxidase, converts NBT to NBT-diformazan. NBT-diformazan absorbs light at 550 nm. SOD reduces the superoxide ion concentration and thereby lowers the rate of NBT-diformazan formation. The extent of reduction in the appearance of NBT-diformazan is a measure of SOD activity present in your experimental sample. The assay is free of interference by other catalytic activities, and is ideal for assaying SOD in mammalian cell lysates. The kit contains the proper lysis buffer and the reagents needed for 100 experimental tests, 50 positive controls, and 50 negative controls. Unlike some other assay kits for SOD, this system is not greatly disturbed by trace metals. Each assay requires only about five minutes, and after a simple calculation, the percent inhibition of the formation of NBT-diformazan by SOD is converted to the relative activity of the sample.
 
 
Features:
•   Suitable for mammalian cells
•   Each sample takes only 5 minutes
•   Contains SOD for 50 positive controls
•   Suitable for the assay of (Mn2+)-SOD, (Fe2+)-SOD, and (Cu/Zn)-SOD

Glutathione Reductase Assay Kit

Glutathione Reductase Assay Kit
 
Trevigen is pleased to announce the release of a new, higher volume assay kit designed to measure cellular levels of Glutathione Reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to reduced glutathione (GSH). GSH is an important intracellular antioxidant that reacts with oxygen free radicals and organic peroxides and acts as a substrate for other detoxification enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase. The activity of glutathione reductase is an important measure of
the antioxidant status of the cell. Glutathione reductase requires NADPH for its activity, resulting in the reduction of GSSG to GSH and the corresponding oxidation of NADPH to NADP.

Trevigen’s Glutathione Reductase Assay takes less than 6 minutes to perform and is based on the measurement of the loss in absorbance at 340 nm due to the conversion of NADPH to NADP+. The kit contains everything that you need to perform the assay on 100 samples and its corresponding blanks, each in duplicate, as well as 10 standard curves with each point performed in duplicate. In total, each kit can generate data on over 500 data points. The NADPH is provided lyophilized in 10 vials, each containing sufficient NADPH for generating one standard curve and for determining glutathione reductase levels in 10 experimental samples.

 
Features:
•   Suitable for cell lysates, erythrocyte lysates, and tissue homogenate
•   Each sample takes only 6 minutes
•   Sufficient reagents for 100 assays and 10 standard curves
 
     
Applications: Calculating glutathione reductase activity.

Glutathione Assay Kit

Glutathione Assay Kit
 
Trevigen’s Glutathione assay kit utilizes a carefully optimized enzymatic recycling method, using Glutathione reductase, for the quantification of Glutathione. The sulfhydryl group of Glutathione reacts with DTNB (5,5’-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid, Ellman’s reagent) and produces a yellow colored 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB). The mixed disulfide, GSTNB (between GSH and TNB) that is concomitantly produced, is reduced by Glutathione reductase to recycle the GSH and produce more TNB. The rate of TNB production is directly proportional to this recycling reaction which is in turn directly proportional to the concentration of GSH in the sample. Measurement of the absorbance of TNB at 405 or 414 nm provides an accurate estimation of Glutathione in the sample.
 
Features:
•   Suitable for mammalian cells, tissue, blood, plasma and other bodily fluids
•   Formatted for 96-well plates
•   Contains sufficient reagents to assay 400 data points or to determine GSH in:

Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit

Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit
 
Glutathione peroxidase is a tetramer of four identical subunits, with a molecular weight of 84,000. It requires selenium as a cofactor and contains a selenocysteine amino acid residue in the active site of each monomer that participates in the actual mechanism of the enzyme. Glutathione peroxidase (GP) is found in mammalian cells and helps to prevent lipid peroxidation of cell membranes by consuming free peroxide in the cell. Trevigen’s Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit can be used to measure glutathione-dependent peroxidases in plasma, erythrocyte lysates, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates.
