Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) serves as a critical enzyme in folate metabolism, catalyzing the reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate—an essential cofactor for nucleotide biosynthesis and cellular proliferation. This metabolic role makes DHFR a significant target in cancer research, where it has long been exploited as the target of antifolate chemotherapeutics like methotrexate. Beyond oncology, DHFR expression studies inform research into cell cycle regulation, metabolic reprogramming, and signal transduction pathways.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated from clone 9B2 in rabbit host, offers the reproducibility that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs through recombinant expression rather than hybridoma culture, you can expect consistent performance across lots—eliminating the variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.
Validation data demonstrates robust performance across multiple applications and sample types. Western blot analysis confirms detection of the expected 22 kDa band in human cell lines including HeLa, Jurkat, K562, Raji, and 293T, with cross-species reactivity verified in rat heart tissue and mouse kidney and liver tissue. Immunohistochemistry staining has been validated in paraffin-embedded human breast cancer and liver cancer sections using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, producing clear signal at 1:100 dilution. Immunoprecipitation capability has been confirmed in HeLa whole cell lysate, enabling protein interaction studies and enrichment workflows.
The antibody's validated cross-species reactivity across human, mouse, and rat samples provides flexibility for researchers working with multiple model systems. Whether investigating DHFR as a metabolic marker in cancer biology or studying folate pathway dynamics in normal cellular physiology, this antibody delivers the specificity and consistency your experiments demand.
