Background
The anti-mono and polyubiquitylated conjugates mAb (FK2) demonstrates specific recognition for monoubiquitylated and polyubiquitylated proteins but shows no reactivity with free ubiquitin (Fujimoro et al. 1994). The anti-mono and polyubiquitylated conjugates mAb (FK2) has been extensively characterised and used not only to investigate ubiquitin chain formation on mono and polyubiquitylated proteins by Western blotting but also in the detection of intracellular polyubiquitin chains in immunoassays (Takada et al. 1995; Fujimoro et al. 2005). The biotin linked anti-mono and polyubiquitylated conjugates mAb (FK2) facilitates the detection of mono and polyubiquitylated conjugates with the use of a streptavidin HRP conjugate.
