Overview
This is a monoclonal anti-CBX5 antibody raised in Mouse, with confirmed utility in ELISA, WB, ICC. It is designed to detect CBX5 protein in Human, Mouse, Pig, Rat, Dog and supports researchers working in epigenetics and nuclear signaling contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant full length protein (191aa) of human CBX5 . — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Mouse): Requires anti-mouse-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Monoclonal format: Single-epitope binding provides high specificity and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Confirm epitope accessibility under your assay conditions.
- Isotype (IgG2b): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
- Purification (Antigen affinity purification): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
Biological background
CBX5 (also referred to as chromobox protein homolog 5 HP1-ALPHA HP1Hs alpha antigen p25 HP1 alpha homolog heterochromatin protein 1-alpha heterochromatin protein 1 homolog alpha chromobox homolog 5 (HP1 alpha homolog, Drosophila)) is a protein target studied in Human systems. Expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types and disease states — factors critical to antibody-based detection design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of CBX5 biology in epigenetics and nuclear signaling.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantification of soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples are within the linear detection range.
- WB: Confirms target molecular weight and distinguishes isoforms under denaturing conditions.
- ICC: Subcellular localization in fixed cells or tissue sections; fixation and permeabilization conditions affect epitope accessibility.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG2b from Mouse) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Confirm the clone does not cross-react with related family members under your assay conditions.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human, Mouse, Pig, Rat, Dog. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.

CBX5 is a protein target in Human, Mouse, Pig, Rat, Dog biology. This monoclonal antibody raised in Mouse is designed to detect CBX5 in ELISA, WB, ICC applications, with IgG2b isotype.
Reported reactive against Human, Mouse, Pig, Rat, Dog. Immunogen derived from Human. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Reported for ELISA, WB, ICC. Each format requires independent dilution optimization and appropriate controls. Unlisted applications require empirical testing.
This non-conjugated IgG2b antibody requires a compatible secondary. Select anti-mouse IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG2b.
(1) Isotype control — IgG2b from Mouse at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known CBX5-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
