Description
The monoclonal antibody HM.11 recognizes modified amino acid nitrotyrosine in all different species. Nitrotyrosine is formed in tissues in presence of the active metabolite NO and is a stable end product of nitrosylation of tyrosine. Inflammation is characterized by increased nitric oxide (NO) production. NO reacts rapidly with superoxide to form peroxynitrite. At physiological pH and in the presence of transition metals, peroxynitrite undergoes heterolytic cleavage to form hydroxyl anion and nitronium ion, the latter of which nitrates protein tyrosine residues. The presence of nitrotyrosine has been detected in various inflammatory processes including atherosclerotic plaques, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Thus, the presence of nitrotyrosine on proteins can be used as a marker for peroxynitrite formation in vivo and consequently as a marker of NO-mediated tissue damage. The monoclonal antibody HM.11 recognizes nitrotyrosine, both with the free amino acid as well as with proteins containing nitrotyrosine.

Application notes
F: also cytospins: acetone fixation 10 min -20 °C; block endogenous peroxidase by 0.3 % H2O2 in PBS (or methanol for intracellular staining); blocking with 10% NGS or 5 % BSA for 30 min. use at assay dependent concentration
P:10% formalin fixation; 3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidases; Citrate buffer pH 6.0 for 1 min at 100 °C as antigen retrieval treatment; use at assay dependent concentration (1:200/400)  (Ref 1)
Western blot: reduced and no-reduced samples; block with 5% BSA or skimmed milk, use at assay dependent concentration

Nitrotyrosine in human liver of severely obesed patients. Staining of paraffin tissue section with clone   HM.11 (Cat. # HM5001). Anti-nitrotyrosine at 2µg/ml (1h, RT).
Use
For immuno histology and Western blotting dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10. Warning: keep sterile, do not add sodium azide or any nitric containing preservative since this will affect the antibody!
Positive control
W: mouse kidney lysate, mouse optic nerve, retina , spinal cord and brain lysates, rat aorta lysate
P: human lung tissue
Storage and stability
Product should be stored at 4°C. Under recommended storage conditions, product is stable for one year.
