| Background | Mouse anti poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 antibody, clone A6.4.12 recognizes poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) , a ~116 kDa nuclear enzyme, cleaved during apoptosis (Soldani et al. 2002). PARP-1, a caretaker enzyme, is involved in DNA damage repair (Langelier et al. 2013) , plays roles in diabetes pathophysiology (Andreone et al. 2012) and tumour proliferation (Rosado et al 2013.).As well as protecting cells from genomic instability, PARP-1 is involved in the development of both inflammatory and immune responses, and cell death by apoptosis and necrosis (Erdélyi et al. 2005). Mouse anti poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 antibody, clone A6.4.12, targets PARP-1, an enzyme which represents a promising target for new developments in therapeutic treatment of immune mediated diseases (Rosado et al. 2013). PARP-1 has considerable potential for delivering selective tumour cell killing while sparing normal cells (Pinton et al. 2013). |
