Monoclonal Anti-Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) 70 reacts specifically against HSP70 in ELISA and immuno-blotting. In immunoblotting the antibody localizes both the constitutive (HSP73) and inducible (HSP72) forms of HSP70. The antibody recognizes brain HSP70 of bovine, human, rat, rabbit, chicken, and guinea pig. It also recognizes HSP70 in Drosophila cell extract, nematode and plant as well as human fibroblast cell extract. Immunofluorescent staining demonstrates a rapid and reversible accumulation of the HSP70 protein within the nucleus of heat-stressed (42ºC, 1 hr.) human fibroblasts. |
