General description

UV light induces the formation of thymine dimers that subsequently leads to DNA damage in cells. Monoclonal antibodies that bind to thymine dimers enable the study of cell death and UV-induced DNA damage during photocarcinogenesis . Monoclonal Anti-Thymine Dimer binds to the (5′-6′) cyclobutane type of homothymine or thyminecytosine heterodimers in single-stranded DNA. The antibody has a decreased affinity for the dimer in short oligonucleotides (an oligonucleotide of atleast 10-20 thymine residues is required for the labeling of the probes). The product facilitates the use of a sensitive and non-radioactive technique for the analysis of thymine dimerization.

Immunogen

tetra nucleotide containing cyclobutane thymine dimer (GTTG) conjugated to chicken gamma globulin.

Application

May be used in Southern blotting at 0.5-1μg/mL using UV induced thymine dimers of λ phage DNA fragments.
Monoclonal Anti-Thymine Dimer antibody is suitable for use in dot blot (0.5-1 mg/mL), immunocytochemistry (1:100) and capture ELISA.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Melanin is a free-radical scavenger, antioxidant, and broadband absorber of ultraviolet (UV) radiation which protects the skin from environmental carcinogenesis. However, melanin synthesis and UV-induced reactive melanin species are also implicated in melanocyte genotoxicity. Here, we attempted to reconcile these
