Immunoprecipitation of Human/Mouse Cytochrome c. Cytochrome c was immuno-precipitated from lysates (5 x 10⁶cells) of Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia and CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line following incubation with 5 µg Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Cytochrome c Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB899) for 1 hour at 4 °C. Cytochrome c-antibody comp-lexes were absorbed using Protein A Immunoprecipitin (Life Technologies). Immunoprecip-itated Cytochrome c (left panel) was detected by Western blot using 0.5 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Cytochrome c Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB897). For additional reference, Western blot (right panel) shows lysates of Jurkat and CTLL2 cell lines probed with 15 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human/ Mouse/Rat Cytochrome c Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB897).

Background: Cytochrome c

Cytochrome c is a critical mitochondrial outer membrane-associated protein in the electron transport chain (1). Reduction and oxidation of an iron molecule (Fe3+ to Fe2+ and back) within its central heme group allow it to receive an electron from the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase and pass it to cytochrome a within the cytochrome oxidase complex (1). Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria occurs during initiation of apoptotic pathways, either by mechanisms that rupture or that do not rupture the mitochondial membrane (2, 3). Once in the cytosol, cytochrome c forms a complex with procaspase 9, recruiting Apaf-1 (apoptotic protease activating factor-1) and dATP to form apoptosomes, which activate caspase and ultimately destroy the cell (2, 3). Cytochrome c is highly conserved, with 90% or greater amino acid identity among human, mouse, rat, cow and dog sequences (4). After cytochrome c translation, the initial methionine is cleaved to form the 104 amino acid mature form.
