Application Note | Anti-RFX5 Antibody was tested by immunoblot and found to be reactive against RFX5 (aa 320 to 494) from a variety of fibroblast and B-cell lysates at a dilution of 1:1,000 followed by reaction with Peroxidase conjugated Affinity Purified anti-Rabbit IgG. Anti-RFX5 (aa 320 to 494) detects a 75 kDa band by immunoblot for human RFX5. Anti-RFX5 Antibody was also tested in a gel supershift assay and found to be reactive against RFX5 complexes using 0.5 to 1.0 µl per assay. Specific conditions should be optimized by user. Other assays should be optimized by researcher. |

Background
RFX5 Antibody detects the RFX5 protein. Regulatory factor X subunit 5 (RFX5) is a member of a family of DNA-binding proteins that share a novel and highly characteristic DNA-binding domain called the RFX motif. It mediates cooperative binding between RFX and NF-Y, recognizes X-boxes, and activates transcription from class II MHC promoters. RFX5 mutations are seen in cases of a severe immunodeficiency syndrome called MHC-II deficiency (also known as bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS)). These mutations prevent the RFX complex from binding to the X box in MHC-II promoters, resulting in a lack of MHC-II expression. Anti-RFX5 antibody is ideal for investigators involved in cytokines and growth factor research.
