Ku80 Antibody / DNA Damage Response Signaling Antibody. Immunohistochemistry analysis of human breast cancer tissue using Ku80 antibody. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections show strong HRP-DAB brown nuclear staining in tumor epithelial cells, consistent with activation of DNA damage response pathways involving Ku80 (XRCC5). The staining is prominent within densely cellular tumor regions, reflecting engagement of DNA repair and stress signaling mechanisms in proliferating cancer cells. Hematoxylin counterstain highlights nuclei (blue), providing contrast to the Ku80-positive nuclear signal.
IHC staining of FFPE human breast cancer with Ku80 antibody. HIER: boil tissue sections in pH8 EDTA for 20 min and allow to cool before testing.

Immunofluorescent staining of FFPE human A549 cells with Ku80 antibody. HIER: steam section in pH6 citrate buffer for 20 min.
Ku80 Antibody / DNA Damage Response Signaling Antibody. Immunofluorescence analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human intestinal cancer tissue using Ku80 antibody. The antibody signal (red) shows prominent nuclear staining within tumor epithelial cells, consistent with activation of DNA damage response pathways involving Ku80 (XRCC5). Signal intensity is enriched in densely cellular tumor regions, reflecting engagement of DNA repair and stress signaling mechanisms. The staining pattern supports the role of Ku80 as a nuclear mediator of DNA damage response in cancer tissue.
Ku80 Antibody / DNA Damage Response Signaling Antibody for WB. Western blot analysis of human cell lysates using Ku80 antibody. Lane 1: jurkat cell lysate, Lane 2: CEM cell lysate, Lane 3: raji cell lysate, Lane 4: COLO320 cell lysate, Lane 5: HT1080 cell lysate. A band is detected at approximately 80-86 kDa, consistent with the predicted molecular weight of Ku80 (XRCC5). The consistent band intensity across multiple hematopoietic and cancer-derived cell lines reflects the widespread expression of Ku80 and aligns with its role as a nuclear DNA damage response protein involved in double-strand break repair signaling.

Description

Ku80 (XRCC5) is a key mediator of cellular responses to DNA damage, functioning at the interface of DNA repair and signaling pathways that regulate cell fate decisions. Ku80 Antibody is uniquely positioned for studies focused on DNA damage response signaling, where detection of Ku80 provides insight into how cells sense, process, and respond to genomic stress. As part of the Ku heterodimer with Ku70 (XRCC6), Ku80 binds DNA double-strand breaks and initiates recruitment of proteins involved not only in repair but also in signaling cascades that coordinate cellular outcomes.

Ku80 antibody, also known as XRCC5 antibody, detects a nuclear protein that becomes functionally engaged following genotoxic stress such as ionizing radiation, oxidative damage, or exposure to DNA-damaging agents. Beyond its structural role in DNA repair, Ku80 contributes to activation of DNA-dependent protein kinase, which plays a central role in signaling pathways that regulate cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, and survival. This positions Ku80 as a critical link between damage detection and downstream signaling events.

This Ku80 Antibody is uniquely positioned for investigating how cells respond to DNA damage at a systems level, where repair processes are tightly coupled to signaling pathways that determine cell fate. Ku80 activity influences whether a cell proceeds through the cell cycle, enters arrest, or undergoes programmed cell death, making it an important marker for studies of cellular stress responses. Its involvement in these pathways makes it particularly relevant in cancer biology, where dysregulation of DNA damage response signaling can drive tumor development and resistance to therapy.

In experimental systems, changes in Ku80 expression, localization, or activity can reflect activation of DNA damage response pathways. Monitoring Ku80 provides a means to assess how effectively cells detect and respond to genomic insults, as well as how signaling pathways are engaged following damage. This is especially important in studies evaluating therapeutic agents that target DNA repair or induce genotoxic stress.

As a member of the DNA repair protein family, Ku80 interacts with DNA-dependent protein kinase and other signaling components to coordinate repair and cellular response mechanisms. Its dual role in DNA repair and signaling makes it a valuable and versatile marker for studying genome stability and stress responses. Ku80 Antibody provides a focused tool for analyzing DNA damage response signaling and understanding how cells integrate repair processes with downstream biological outcomes.

Application Notes

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Ku80 Antibody / DNA Damage Response Signaling Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

Immunogen

An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Ku80 (KFSEEQRFNNFLKAL) was used as the immunogen for this Ku80 antibody.

Storage

After reconstitution, the Ku80 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Alternate Names

XRCC5 antibody, Ku80 stress response antibody, Ku80 DNA damage signaling antibody, XRCC5 genotoxic stress antibody, Ku80 repair signaling protein antibody
