Background
This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer and DNA Damage & Repair research. During an immune response to infectious diseases and cancer, B-cells undergo activation in response to antigen, and differentiate either into short-lived plasma cells, whose numbers contract following withdrawal of the antigenic stimulus, or into memory B-cells. The formation of B-cell memory is the major goal of vaccination, since memory B-cells are able to produce antibodies specific to infections and cancer that can last for the lifetime of the host. Recently it has been shown that the formation of long-lived memory B-cells is dependent upon the transcription factor Bach2, since knockout mice lacking the gene fail to generate class-switched IgG antibody responses and all B-cells undergo default plasma cell differentiation upon antigenic stimulation. While the mechanism by which Bach2 controls B-cell memory fate has been elucidated (it binds and represses the promoter of the gene that encodes the plasma cell master regulatory transcription factor Blimp-1), the upstream mechanism by which the function of Bach2 is regulated is unknown. There is evidence suggesting that Bach2 is phosphorylated in B-cells following stimulation and suspect that this modification may allow the B-cell signaling apparatus to control Bach2 activity and therefore memory fate decisions. Anti-Bach2 is ideal for researchers interested in Cancer and DNA Damage & Repair research.
