Recombinant Protein
This whole rabbit serum was prepared by repeated immunizations with a fusion protein corresponding to the carboxy-terminus of human Cox-2.
This antiserum is directed against human Cox-2. Two different isoforms of the enzyme are known, Cox-1 and Cox-2. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Cox-2 in human, mouse and rat based on a homology with the immunizing sequence and should not cross react with Cox-1. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known. Reactivity of this antibody with Cox-2 from other species is unknown.
Application Details
WB
Cox-2 (Cyclooxygenase-2) is an inducible enzyme that is normally absent from cells, however, in response to growth factors, tumor promoters and some cytokines, it undergoes a rapid and transient expression. This antiserum against Human Cox-2 and has been tested for use in immunoblotting. The antibody recognizes Cox-2 at 70kDa in Sf9 cell lines transfected with Cox-2 as well as in WISH cells induced with IL-1b. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown.

COX-2, also known as prostaglandin H synthase, was identified less than a decade ago. Its discovery was followed by a period of discovery and drug development to create a “super aspirin” and led to insights into arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, colorectal cancer and regulation of brain and kidney function in search of better treatments for degenerative and inflammatory diseases. Cox-2 is involved in the response of cells to growth factors, tumor promoters, and cytokines that induce its expression. Given its role in synthesizing prostaglandins, Cox-2 is therefore of interest in studying immune response regulation.
