Adenosine Receptor
Antibodies
The
purine nucleoside adenosine modulates diverse physiological functions including
induction of sedation, vasodilatation, suppression of cardiac rate and
contractility, neurotransmitter release, inhibition of platelet aggregation and
lipolysis. Adenosine released from cells interacts with membrane receptors
(adenosine receptors, ARs). Based upon, biochemical and pharmacological
criteria, ARs have been classified into A1, A2a, A2b, and A3. The high affinity
receptor A1 inhibits adenyl cyclase, whereas low affinity receptor A2a
stimulates the cyclase via G proteins. A2a receptor is believed to cause
vasorelaxation in coronary artery. Various, ARs and their subtypes have recently
been cloned from several species. ARs belong to the superfamily of G-protein
coupled receptors and predicted to contain 7 transmembrane domains. The
N-termini are predicted to be extracellular and the C-termini cytoplasmic. There
is an overall 30% homology among the four ARs. ARs are distributed throughout
the body. Gene location of various ARs:
A1 (Chromosome 1; q.31.3-32.2);
A2a (Chromosome
22); A2b
(Chromosome 17; p.11.2-12); A3
(Chromos.1).
Adenosine deaminase (ADA;
EC 3.54.4) catalyzes deamination of adenosine to inosine. ADA is found in
primarily cytosolic. It has also been located at the cell membrane and
implicated in the control of the extracellular concentration of adenosine.
ADI has prepared antibodies to adenosine receptors using subtype specific
peptide sequences. Because of sequence homology of a given sequence, many
antibodies show interspecies crossreactivity for each receptor subtype. However,
there is no substantial sequence homology of the selected antigenic peptides
between different adenosine receptor subtypes. Antibody crossreactivity is based
upon either known reactivity of antisera with other species receptor subtypes or
based upon high degree of sequence homology. Antibodies to ADA are also
available to study the role of ADA in ARs structure and function.

"Neat
Antisera" are the
unpurified antiserum and it is suitable for ELISA and
Western.
"Affinity
pure"
antibodies have been over the
antigen-affinity column and recommended for
immunohistochemical applications.
"Control
peptides" can not be used
for Western as they are very short peptides. They are
intended for ELISA or antibody competition studies.
