Q: We are looking into protein kinase C-alpha antibodies for immunohistochemistry on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue. I see that you have many antibodies, including several monoclonals. I wanted to confirm with you that the following antibodies are specific for C-alpha. NB600-201=MC5 (an older paper suggested that this might react with alpha, beta, gamm), NB110-57356=Y124, NB110-57353=Y143. Also, if you have an comparator data or feedback regarding PKC-alpha antibodies for IHC on FFPE, that would be very helpful. We would like to pick 1 antibody that is easy to titer and robust, so that we can move forward with our studies.

A: We have never heard any feedback that these cross-react with other PKC proteins. If you have seen data that MC5 may cross-react, then I would consider avoiding this antibody if you are concerned. The immunogens for NB110-57356 and NB110-57353 come from the N- and C-terminals, which is where the PKC proteins vary the most, so these are not expected to cross-react and we have had no feedback or testing data that suggests that they do. I would recommend NB110-57356, since it has been published with. You may want to review the published data to determine if it seems this antibody will suit your needs.

Background: PKC alpha

Protein Kinase C (PKC) is a large superfamily of serine/threonine kinases that mediate essential cellular signals required for activation, proliferation, differentiation and survival. There are at least ten PKC isotypes that are closely related in structure but that have distinct patterns of tissue distribution and function. The PKC isotypes can be subdivided into three classes based on primary structure and biochemical properties. These are: classical or conventional PKC isotypes (cPKC), novel PKC isotypes (nPKC) and atypical PKC isotypes (aPKC). All PKC isotypes share a characteristic equence motif C1 in addition to a serine/threonine-protein kinase domain. The cPKC isotypes include PKC
