Anti-SLA (haploid sperm cell-specific antigen) antibody, (TRA54), 50 ug
DiagnoCine offers excellent antibody for SLA (TRA54); UNCONJUGATEDlarge size or a small size to researchers studying Cd3zeta Deficiency, EPH-Ephrin signaling, PDGFR-beta signaling, and genes with SH3/SH2 adaptor activity.
SLA Adapter protein negatively regulates T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, inhibits T-cell antigen-receptor induced activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells, and involved in the mitosis of T-cells. SLA activities are linked to ZAP70 with CBL, leading to a CBL dependent degradation of signaling proteins.
SLA antibody has excellent quality and this highly pure antibody can be adapted for Western Blots, ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence research with optimization.

Description
Many transcripts for proteins specifically expressed in haploid germ cells are synthesized in the spermatogenesis. A monoclonal antibody TRA54 recognizes specific organelles in germ cell cytoplasm from spermatocytes to spermatids (1, 2). Western blots using TRA54 revealed broad bands with 85 kD, 190 kD and >200 kDa in testis probably due to alternative splicing and/or post-translational modification (Fig. 1).
The molecular size diversity is due to the difference in glycosilation (Ref. 1). This antibody can be used for immunohistochemical staining of testicular tissues (1, 3). The hybridoma producing TRA54 was obtained from the immunaization of a rat with cell lysates of adult mouse testes by the group of Prof. Yoshitake Nishimune of Osaka University.

tissues with TRA54 antibody.
For each tissue homogenate, 100 ug protein was
applied to each lane. Antibody was used at 1 ug/ml

Testis from C57BL/6 adult mouse was fixed in Bouin’s solution, followed by paraffin embedding and sectioning. After deparaffinized, sections were treated with normal goat serum, reacted with TRA54 antibody and incubated with biotinylated sheep anti-rat Ig antibody and biotin peroxydase/avidin, followed by incubation with hydrogen peroxide and diaminobenzidine.
