title: New anti-Ku80 monoclonal antibody F10H2.B3 as a useful marker for dividing cells in culture.
abstract: We report on the development of a mouse monoclonal antibody (named F10H2.B3) using the native cellular fragments of human fetal neural stem cells as immunogens. Molecular analysis has shown that the target antigen of F10H2.B3 is Ku80 (ATP-dependent DNA helicase 2 subunit 2 [EC 3.6.1.-]). We suggest this antibody could be used in certain conditions as a proliferation marker for cells of different origin.
