| Target background: | The alkali causes guanine bases alkylated at the N7 position to undergo a so-called ring-opening reaction and Amp4/42 appears to recognise this structure, although recognition may be influenced by the neighbouring DNA sequence. The products of the ring-opening reaction are more resistant to depurination reactions than the original guanine adducts. This antibody was developed to improve detection of melphalan-DNA adducts through its ability to recognise the stabilised adduct. The Amp4/42 clone did not bind to alkali-treated control DNA or to DNA that had been alkylated with melphalan but not exposed to alkali. This antibody can be used for quantification of melphalan adducts in purified DNA by ELISA and for immunofluorescent detection of melphalan-DNA adducts in single cells. |
