Anti-Lamin A/C Antibody (4C4)
Our Anti-Lamin A/C mouse monoclonal primary antibody detects human Lamin A/C, and is IgG. It is validated for use in FC, ICC, WB.
Left: HeLa cells stained with M-1689-100 (red), and counterstained with chicken polyclonal antibody to Vimentin (green, C-1409-50). The The Lamin A/C antibody reveals strong nuclear lamina staining, while the Vimentin antibody reveals cytoplasmic intermediate filaments. The blue stain reveals DNA in the nuclei of these cells. Right: Analysis of Lamin A/C expression in human prostate cancer DU145 cell line by FLow Cytometry. Fixing and Permeabilization of cells: Absolute methanol (10 minutes in ice) and 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS, Blocking: 200 µg/mL Normal Sheep IgG (20 minutes), Primary antibody: Mouse Monoclonal antibody to Lamin A/C (cat # M-1689-100, 2 μg per ~10^6 cells) for 30 minutes at room temperature, Secondary antibody: Goat anti-mouse PE labeled secondary antibody (1:100 fold dilution) with incubation for 20 minutes in dark at room temperature. Non-specific Control IgG, clone X63 (cat # M-1249-100) was used as negative control under same conditions (black dashed). Flow cytometry data and results were generated using Orflo MoxiflowTM instrument and protocols.

Product Details
Lamin A/C
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).
