Anti-HMGN pS20-pS24 affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 17 kDa in size corresponding to phosphorylated HMGN proteins by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Less than 0.5% reactivity is observed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. This antibody is phospho specific for pS20 and pS24 of HMGN proteins. The antibody was tested against HMGN1 by performing a standard phosphorylation in vitro assay using HMGN1 as a substrate and Msk1 as a kinase (known as a main effector kinase of MAPK signaling pathway and in vivo kinase for HMGN1). This kinase specifically phosphorylates S20 and S24 of HMGN1 (S24 and S28 of HMGN2). The reaction was resolved on SDS PAGE and immunoblot, using antibody diluted at 1:1,000 and 1:5,000. The antibody shows strong positive signal for Msk-phosphorylated HMGN1 and no cross-reaction for non-treated HMGN1.
