Introduction

TOP1 is an important nuclear enzyme that interconverts supercoiled DNA to the necessary topological conformations for standard DNA replication and transcription. TOP1 is the target antigen for TOP1 autoantibodies. TOP1 antibodies are a specific marker in scleroderma patients (specificity 98-100%) and are related with the existence of diffuse skin involvement and pulmonary fibrosis. In human tissues top1 enzyme is primarily synthesized as a protein with a molecular weight of 100-kDa. Most of this precursor is then proteolytically processed to a 70-kDa size, from which the TOP1 antigen has derived its name.

Description

Bovine DNA Topoisomerase-I shows multiple bands between 76-109 KDa and is purified from bovine tissues by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Bovine tissues.

Formulation

TOP1 is supplied in 20mM HEPES buffer pH-7.5, 400mM NaCl and 20% glycerol.

Immunological functions

1. Binds IgG-type human auto-antibodies.
2. Standard ELISA test (checkerboard analysis of positive/negative samples) and immunodot test with positive/negative samples.

Applications

Western blot with anti TOP1 autoantibody positive sample.

Coating concentration

0.5-0.8 µg/ml (depending on the type of ELISA plate and coating buffer). Suitable for labeling of functional groups.

Purity

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Stability

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. 
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
