I am looking into a positive control for Western blotting. We are trying to detect the AIRE protein and are not sure whether the antibody we have is picking up the protein. Are you able to tell me whether the human thymus whole tissue lysate (NB820-59456) has been used to detect for AIRE expression by Western blotting?

SKU: NBP3-53095

I am not currently aware of any references to the use of our human thymus whole tissue lysate being used to detect AIRE by Western blotting. On looking through the Western blot images for all seven of our AIRE antibodies, I see that these have been generated using lysates from RT-4 cells (bladder), U-251 MG cells (brain), 293 cells (human embryonic kidney), human spleen lysate, liver lysate and tonsil lysate. Additionally, you may find the Human Protein Atlas link to AIRE useful. At this site you can find protein expression profiles based on immunohistochemistry for a large number of human tissues, cancers and cell lines: The Human Protein Atlas.

Background: Autoimmune Regulator/AIRE

AIRE encodes a transcriptional regulator that forms nuclear bodies and interacts with the transcriptional coactivator CBP. At least three splice variant mRNAs products have been described including one which results in a premature stop codon and a transcript predicted to be a candidate for nuclear-mediated decay (NMD). Defects in this gene cause the rare autosomal-recessive systemic autoimmune disease termed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).
