Myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) are transcription factors that possess a characteristic basic helix-loop-helix domain. Myf5, MyoD, MRF4, and myogenin are well-known MRF family members that activate muscle-specific genes during differentiation. Myf5 is expressed first among MRFs at the very early phase and plays an important role in myoblast specificity and cell proliferation. Myf5 shares high homology with MyoD, and therefore some commercial Myf5 antibodies are cross-reactive for Myf5 and MyoD. To allow for detailed studies of the function of Myf5, we generated a monoclonal antibody specific for Myf5 utilizing a rat medial iliac lymph node method. Immunoblot analysis using our monoclonal antibody enabled us to identify Myf5 protein from rat myoblast L6E9 cell extract. Moreover, cell immunostaining revealed the nuclear localization of Myf5 in the L6E9 cells. This monoclonal antibody against Myf5 will allow us to perform further detailed studies of Myf5 and Myf5 function.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
