Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human Ovary tissue using anti-Smac antibody (2409) at 5 μg/ml. Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 h at RT; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation with a citrate buffer (pH6).

Background:
Smac Antibody: The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) regulate programmed cell death by inhibiting members of the caspase family of enzymes. A novel mammalian protein that binds to IAPs and neutralizes the inhibitory effect of IAPs on caspases was recently identified and designated Smac/DIABLO. Smac/DIABLO is a mitochondrial protein that is released along with cytochrome c during apoptosis and activates cytochrome c/Apaf-1/capase-9 pathway. Analysis of the structural basis of Smac/DIABLO reveals that the N-terminal amino acids are required for binding of Smac/DIABLO to IAPs and activation of caspases. Smac/DIABLO is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues.

DISCLAIMER:
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The information provided is a guideline for product use. This product is for research use only.
Immunogen:
Anti-Smac antibody (2409) was raised against a peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human Smac.

The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of Smac.
ISOFORMS:
Human Smac has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (239aa, 27.1kD), isoform 2 (186aa, 21.2kD), and isoform 3 (195aa, 22.3kD). Mouse Smac has one isoform (237aa, 26.8kD) and Rat Smac also has one isoform (237aa, 26.9kD). 2409 can detect human, mouse and rat Smac.

VALIDATION:

Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 2) shows similar Smac expression profile in human and mouse cell lines detected by two independent anti-Smac antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 2409 against human C-terminus domain and 2411 against murine C-terminus domain. Smac proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the two independent antibodies. 

KO Validation (Figure 6): Anti-Smac antibody specificity was further verified by Smac knockout mice. Smac signal smac KO mice was disrupted as compared to control.

Induced Expression Validation (Figure 6,9): Smac expression detected by anit-Smac antibodies was up-regulated by STS or rPVL treatment.

Overexpression Validation (Figure 10): Smac overexpression was detected by anit-Smac antibodies on smac transfected HEK293T cells.
