Background of Plk1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK1, also known as polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1) or serine/threonine-protein kinase 13 (STPK13), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLK1 (polo-like kinase 1) gene. Plk1 is an early trigger for G2/M transition. It supports the functional maturation of the centrosome in late G2/early prophaseand establishment of the bipolar spindle. Also, Plk1 phosphorylates and activates cdc25C, a phosphatase that dephosphorylates and activates the cyclinB/cdc2 complex. Studies have shown that the loss of PLK1 expression can inducepro-apoptotic pathways and inhibit growth. Based on yeast and murine studies of meiosis, human PLK1 may also have a regulatory function in meiosis.
Antibody Validation

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of PLK1 using anti-PLK1 antibody (PB9500).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours.
Lane 1: HELA Whole Cell Lysate at 40ug,
Lane 2: PANC Whole Cell Lysate at 40ug.
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-PLK1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9500) 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 PLK1 at approximately 68 kDa. The expected band size for PLK1 is at 68 kDa.

Question
We were satisfied with the WB result of your anti-PLK1 antibody. However we have been able to see positive staining in cervix carcinoma centromere, using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is PLK1 supposed to be expressed?

Question
We are currently using anti-PLK1 antibody PB9500 for mouse tissue, and we are well pleased with the IHC results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it possible that the antibody can work on canine tissues as well?
Verified Customer

Asked: 2018-06-13
Answer
The anti-PLK1 antibody (PB9500) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with canine 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 canine you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We have tried in the past anti-PLK1 antibody for IHC on lymphoblast in a previous project. I am using rat, and We are going to use the antibody for WB next. We want examining lymphoblast as well as colon lung in our next experiment. Could give a recommendation on which antibody would work the best for WB?

Asked: 2015-01-12
Answer
I viewed the website and datasheets of our anti-PLK1 antibody and it seems that PB9500 has been tested on rat in both IHC and WB. Thus PB9500 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for WB in rat even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for WB detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.
