MYOD Antibody — Figure 1 Rapamycin blocks C2C12 differentiation. (a) The order of appearance of myotube differentiation markers over the course of 15 days in differentiation media only. This is representative of three independent experiments. (b) Differences in differentation marker transcripts when treated with DMSO (vehicle) or 500 nM rapamycin for 9 days, throughout the differentiation protocol. The most recent rapamycin administration was 1 day prior to cell lysis. These data represent the average of three wells, from a representative experiment (n = 3). Transcripts from both (a) and (b) were measured by qRT-PCR and normalized to Gapdh . (c) Representative western blot analysis of C2C12 cells treated for 4 h with Differentiation Media (2% Horse Serum; HS) or left in growth media (10% FBS) in the presence of 500 nM Rapamycin or DMSO. (d) Quantification of the blots in c (n = 4 independent experiments). Protein phosphorylation is presented as the intensity of the phosphospecific antibody band relative to that proteins total protein band. (e) Images of morphological changes in C2C12 myoblasts in response to 10 days of DMSO or rapamycin treatment througout the differentiation protocol (500 nM). Asterisks indicate p < 0.05. Data represents mean +/- standard error of the mean.

MYOD Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) — Immunohistochemical analysis of human tissues using a the MYOD monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-41017). A. Rhabdomyosaroma (nuclei are stained), B. Lymphoma (staining is absent)

MYOD Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — Western blot analysis for MyoD expression in various small round cell tumor lines using 1 µg/mL of a MYOD monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-41017). The antibody only reacts with a band of approx. 45 kD in the rhabdomyosarcoma cell line (Rh30, lane 1) but was negative against the primitive neuroectodermal (PFSK-1A, lane 2), lymphoma (EB2, lane 3), neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH, lane 4), and Ewing's sarcoma (SJSA-1, lane 5) cell lines.

Product Specific Information

The epitope of this antibody was mapped to a region within AA 180-189 of mouse MyoD.

Suggested positive control: Rh-30.

Target Information

The Myogenic determination gene (MyoD) was first identified by the virtue of its ability to convert embryonic mouse fibroblast cells to muscle cells. It was subsequently shown that forced expression of MyoD (human homolog is myf 3) gene in a wide variety of normal and neoplastic cells could either convert the cells to muscle cells or activate a set of the otherwise transcriptionally inactive muscle-specific genes in these cells. The regulatory domain of the MyoD gene product lies within a 70 amino acid region and comprises a basic DNA binding motif and a helix-loop-helix (HLH) dimerization motif. Subsequent studies identified three other genes whose products shared sequence homology for the basic HLH domain of MyoD. These are; myf5, myogenin (human homolog is myf4) and myf6 (also known as MRF4 and herculin).
