MDC1 antibody
Sheep anti Human MDC1 antibody (AHP799) used for the visualization of MDC1 expression in U2OS osteosarcoma cells following irradiation induced DNA damage by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
PP4 dephosphorylates γH2AX at the sites of DNA damage. (A,B) U2OS cells transfected with siRNAs against PP4C, PP2ACα/β or a control sequence were irradiated with 1.5 Gy and processed for γH2AX (A,B) and MDC1 (B) immunofluorescence and DAPI counterstaining at the indicated time points. Images were taken with a × 40 objective (A) or with a × 63 objective (B). Scale bar, 23 μm (A) and 16 μm (B). (C–F) Quantification of cells with >5 γH2AX (C), >10 γH2AX (D,F) and >5 MDC1 (E) foci. At least 300 cells were analysed per experiment. Cells were treated with KU55933 and KU57788 12 min post-IR (F). Error bars represent standard error of mean of independent duplicated experiments (C) or standard deviation of three independent experiments (D–F). A × 63 oil immersion objective (C,E) or a × 40 water immersion objective (D,F) was used. (G) U2OS cells transfected with siRNAs against PP4C or a control sequence were collected at the indicated time points immediately before (no IR), or 1 or 6 h after irradiation (10 Gy), then fractionated as described in Méndez & Stillman (2000) into whole-cell lysates (WCLs), nuclear soluble (S3) or chromatin (P3) fractions, and analysed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies. DAPI, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; H3, histone H3; IR, irradiation; MDC1, mediator of DNA damage checkpoint 1; siRNA, small interfering RNA.

Sheep anti Human MDC1 antibody (AHP799) used for the demonstration of MDC1 accumulation of MDC1 in murine spermatazoa by immunofluorescence.

Analysis of epigenetic differences in meiotic silencing in oocytes compared to spermatocytes. a XY pachytene spermatocyte stained for SYCP3 (magenta), HORMAD2 (green) and MDC1 (red), showing MDC1 accumulation in the sex chromatin (arrow). b XO pachytene oocyte stained for SYCP3 (magenta), HORMAD2 (green) and MDC1 (red), also showing MDC1 enrichment on the asynapsed X chromosome (arrow). c XY pachytene spermatocyte stained for SYCP3 (magenta), HORMAD2 (green) and SUMO-1 (red), showing accumulation of SUMO-1 in the sex chromatin (arrow). d XO pachytene oocyte stained for SYCP3 (magenta), HORMAD2 (green) and SUMO-1 (red), also showing SUMO-1 enrichment on the asynapsed X chromosome (arrow). e XY diplotene spermatocyte stained with SYCP3 to mark chromosome axes (magenta), HORMAD2 (green) to label the asynapsed X and Y chromosomes (arrow) and H3K9me3 (red), which shows enrichment in the chromatin of the X and Y chromosomes and also at constitutive heterochromatin (asterisks). A line (yellow) was drawn through the asynapsed X (arrow) to quantify HORMAD2 and H3K9me3 intensities (g). f XO diplotene oocyte showing no enrichment of H3K9me3 in the chromatin of the asynapsed X chromosome (arrow). H3K9me3 staining is restricted to sites of constitutive heterochromatin (asterisks). A line (yellow) was drawn through the asynapsed X (arrow) to quantify HORMAD2 and H3K9me3 intensities (h). g, h Intensities of H3K9me3 and HORMAD2 immunostaining quantified by densitometry across the indicated paths along (g) the asynapsed X in the spermatocyte from panel e, and along (h) the asynapsed X in diplotene XO oocyte from panel f. Scale bars = 10 μm

Sheep anti Human MDC1 antibody recognizes human Mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1, also known as MDC1 or Nuclear factor with BRCT domains 1. MDC1 is a 2089 amino acid, ~250 kDa nuclear protein containing two BRCT domains and a single FHA domain. MDC1 is involved in checkpoint mediated cell cycle arest in response to DNA damage (UniProt: Q14676)
