Background of MCM2
MCM2 (MINICHROMOSOME MAINTENANCE, S. CEREVISIAE, HOMOLOG OF, 2), also known as MITOTIN, CDCL1 or BM28, is a human nuclear protein that plays an important role in 2 crucial steps of the cell cycle, namely, onset of DNA replication and cell division. And it is similar to members of the family of early S-phase proteins. The MCM2 gene is mapped to 3q21.3. The hexameric protein complex formed by MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. In the G0 stage, the MCM2 and MCM5 proteins were much less abundant than the MCM7 and MCM3 proteins, which suggests that the MCM proteins are not present in stoichiometric amounts and that only a proportion of these molecules actively participate in cell cycle regulation as part of MCM complexes.
Antibody Validation

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of MCM2 using anti-MCM2 antibody (A00374-1).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human Caco-2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human HEK293 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human THP-1 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: human K562 whole cell lysates,
Lane 5: rat ovarian tissue lysates,
Lane 6: mouse ovarian tissue lysates,
Lane 7: mouse NIH3T3 whole cell lysates.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-MCM2 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A00374-1) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for MCM2 at approximately 125KD. The expected band size for MCM2 is at 102KD.

Answer
From what I have seen in literature lymph does express MCM2. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, MCM2 is expressed in oocyte, colon carcinoma, bone marrow, brain, lung, lymph, muscle, placenta uterus, cervix carcinoma, prostate cancer, embryonic kidney, t-cell, leukemic t-cell, cervix carcinoma erythroleukemia, liver, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have MCM2 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Bone marrow, Pubmed ID: 7584026

Asked: 2019-08-07
Answer
The anti-MCM2 antibody (A00374-1) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with horse tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in horse you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We ordered your anti-MCM2 antibody for Flow Cytometry on colon carcinoma a few years ago. I am using human, and We are going to use the antibody for ELISA next. Our lab want to know about examining colon carcinoma as well as bone marrow in our next experiment. Do you have any suggestion on which antibody would work the best for ELISA?

Asked: 2015-04-15
Answer
I have checked the website and datasheets of our anti-MCM2 antibody and it seems that A00374-1 has been tested on human in both Flow Cytometry and ELISA. Thus A00374-1 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for ELISA in human even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for ELISA detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.
