Contents

2 x 100 µg of HeLa nuclear extract (Anisomycin treated) at 2.5 µg/µl.

Background

HeLa nuclear extract (Anisomycin treated) was prepared from a cell culture of the HeLa human epithelial carcinoma cell line that was treated with anisomycin, an antibiotic and protein synthesis inhibitor. Anisomycin is also a potent inhibitor of the p38/JNK MAPK pathway.

The HeLa cell line was originally derived from cells obtained in 1951 from Henrietta Lacks, a cervical cancer patient who eventually died from her cancer. The HeLa cell line is one of the oldest and most commonly utilized immortal cell lines in scientific research. These cells are highly prolific and easily sustainable, allowing for flexibility in their application in various fields of scientific research, including cancer biology, virology, and human disease. To date, over 60,000 publications across various disciplines have referenced the use of HeLa cells.

Application Notes

HeLa nuclear extract (Anisomycin treated) is specifically recommended for analysis of protein synthesis and the p38/JNK MAPK pathway.

Extract Origin

Human Cervix Adenocarcinoma

Extract Composition

HeLa nuclear extract is supplied in Dilution Buffer (20 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 400 mM NaCl, 20% glycerol, 0.1 mM EDTA, 10 mM NaF, 10 µM Na2MoO4, 1 mM NaVO3, 10 mM PNPP, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM DTT and protease inhibitors). Cells were cultured in medium supplemented with 5 µM Anisomycin for 1 hour at 37°C immediately prior to harvesting.

Quality Control

Each lot has been tested for ATF-2 activation by using TransAM® Kits.

Storage

To ensure stability, extracts should be stored at -80°C.

We recommend aliquoting the extracts into single-use fractions and then storing them at -80°C. This eliminates repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Guarantee
