Biomarkers for protein oxidation. oxidative stress
Anti dityrosine (DT/DY) monoclonal antibody. Anti dityrosine (DT/DY) monoclonal antibody. Anti dityrosine (DT/DY) monoclonal antibody.
Suitable for immunohistocheistry, western blotting and ELISA. For research use only.
A novel biomarker for protein oxidation:
Tyrosine is one of the major targets of protein oxidation, and until today various tyrosine derivatives such as nitrotyrosine, dityrosine and halogenated tyrosine depending on the type of free radicals. DT is a tyrosine dimer derived from tyrosyl radicals which is formed by reactive oxygen species (ROS), metal-catalyzed oxidation, ultraviolet irradiation, and peroxidases. DT have been found in atherosclerotic lesions, and lipofuscin of pyramidal neurons of aged human brains. Dityrosine is one of the specific biomarkers for protein oxidation.

Detection of DT in protein samples:
Anti dityrosine monoclonal antibody clone 1C3 has been established by Dr. Toshihiko Osawa (Nagoya Univ.) and Dr. Yoji Kato (Univ. Hyogo)1). They have prepared this antibody using a dimer of 3-(p-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid as a hapten, and screened using dityrosine-conjugated BSA. This antibody is highly specific for dityrosine, and can react with both free dityrosine and dityrosine containing protein or peptides. Suitable for immunohistochemistry, western blotting and ELISA.
