Abstract

DAZ interacting zinc finger 3 (DZIP3), an RNA-binding RING-type ubiquitin ligase, has been reported to be involved in multiple physiological functions, including the regulation of chemokine- or estradiol-induced gene expression, self-renewal, and maintaining pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells. However, the precise cellular functions of DZIP3 remain elusive. In this study, we report the establishment of DZIP3-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), using the rat medial iliac lymph node method. In immunoblotting analyses, our antibodies detected endogenous human and mouse DZIP3. In addition, immunoprecipitation analyses revealed the availability of these antibodies for human or mouse DZIP3. Thus, these MAbs will be available to elucidate cellular functions of DZIP3.

Keywords: DZIP3; MAbs; the rat medial iliac lymph node method.
