A new biomarker for lipid peroxidation
Oxidative damage of lipids caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in some diseases, lesion of cell functions and aging. Aldehydes such as malondi-aldehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) have been reported as one of the advanced lipid peroxidation products. But recently in the earlier stage of lipid peroxidation, 13-hydroperoxyoctadecanoic acid (13-HPODE) is found to be covalently bound to proteins1). Hexanoyl-Lysine adduct (HEL) is a novel lipid hydroperoxide-modified lysine residues. HEL is formed by oxidative modification by oxidized omega-6 fatty acids such as linoleic acid or arachidonic acid. This monoclonal antibody (clone 5H4)is spesific for proteins and peptides containing HEL. Suitable for HEL detection by immunohistochemistry and western blotting.

Specifications
Clone #: 5F12
Subclass: IgG1 kappa
Antigen: N epsilon hexanoyl-Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (HEL-KLH)
Specificity: Specific to Hexanoyl-Lys adducts.
Form: Lyophilized power. Containing 10mM PBS(pH7.4), 5% sucrose, 1% BSA and 0.05% Procline 950. 100 µg/mL of IgG.
Application: Immunohistochemistry
(Recommended antibody concentration is 2 µg/mL on paraformaldehyde fixed tissue), and ELISA
Storage: Less than -20°C
Immunohistochemistry
Fixation: Formalin fixation. Slides should be prepared 3 um thick.
Antigen retrieval is not needed, but in some cases antigen retrieval may improve staining.
Blocking: Apply normal rabbit serum (DAKO corporation, Kyoto, Japan) in 1% BSA/PBS for 30 minites to the specimens for the inhibition of non-specific binding of secondary antibody.
For blocking reagent, please use normal serum from the same species as second antibody used. For example, if you use biotin-labeled goat anti mouse IgG, normal goat serum may be suitable. If sample tissues are from mouse, blocking of internal mouse IgG will be needed. See technical information.
Anti HEL antibody: Apply anti HEL antibody (2 µg/mL) to the specimens, incubate overnight at 4 °C.
Secondary antibody: Apply biotin-labeled rabbit anti-mouse IgG serum (Dako; Diluted to 1:300) for 40min at room temperature.
ABC method: Apply avidin-biotin-alkaline phosphatase complex (Vector Lab., Burlingame, CA; Diluted to 1:100) for 40min at room temperature.
Staining: Use a kit of black substrate for alkaline phosphatase (BCIP/NBT, Vector).
