Background of MED18
MED18 is a component of the Mediator complex, which is a coactivator for DNA-binding factors that activate transcription via RNA polymerase II. Using in vitro-translated epitope-tagged proteins for protein-binding assays, it is found that MED18 directly interacted with the Mediator subunit TRFP (MED20). The MED18-TRFP heterodimer could also be coimmunoprecipitated from cotransfected insect cells. The MED18 gene was mapped to chromosome 1p35.3 based on an alignment of the MED18 sequence with the genomic sequence.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA 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-MED18 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A10600-2) 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 1:5000 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 MED18 at approximately 24 kDa. The expected band size for MED18 is at 24 kDa.

Question
We are currently using anti-MED18 antibody A10600-2 for mouse tissue, and we are content with the IHC-P results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it likely that the antibody can work on bovine tissues as well?

Asked: 2014-04-21
Answer
The anti-MED18 antibody (A10600-2) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with bovine tissues, though 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 bovine you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
