Abstract

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors mediating ligand-dependent transactivation. Among the 3 isoforms, PPAR- alpha is involved in lipid metabolism in the liver, while PPAR-gamma(-gamma1 and -gamma2) is involved in adipocyte differentiation. Recently, PPARs have been suggested to be involved in renal electrolyte metabolism as well as atherosclerosis. PPAR-alpha is known to regulate cytochrome P450 gene expression, and may possibly affect sodium retention in the kidney. Moreover, PPAR-gamma is involved in the transcription regulation of blood pressure regulatory genes, including thromboxane and angiotensin II type 1 receptors. In the kidney, although expression of PPARs has been reported, detailed immunohistochemical analyses have not been performed. We here generated isoform-specific anti-PPAR antibodies to localize their proteins in the kidney. Anti-PPAR antibodies were raised against synthetic peptides. Their isoform specificity was confirmed by immunoblot analyses, immunoprecipitations, and antibody supershift experiments by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. We therefore studied the protein expression of PPARs in the kidney of adult Sprague-Dawley rats using these antibodies. I...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
