Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-rsrIM antibody raised in Rabbit, conjugated with FITC. It is designed to detect rsrIM protein in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and supports researchers working in others contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Rhodobacter sphaeroides Modification methylase RsrI protein (1-319AA) — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Polyclonal format: Recognizes multiple epitopes for robust signal; inherent lot-to-lot variability requires appropriate controls.
- Isotype (IgG): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
- Purification (Protein G purification): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
- FITC conjugate: Direct fluorescence (Ex ~490/Em ~525 nm). Protect from light; use antifade reagents for slide-based applications.
Biological background
rsrIM (also referred to as rsrIM, Modification methylase RsrI, M.RsrI, EC 2.1.1.72, Adenine-specific methyltransferase RsrI) is a protein target studied in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 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 rsrIM biology in others.
Common research applications
- Refer to product documentation for confirmed application data.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG from Rabbit) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins. Orthogonal validation (siRNA, KO lysate) is recommended.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
