The cellular production of highly reactive nitrogen species derived from nitric oxide, such as peroxynitrite, nitrogen dioxide and nitryl chloride, leads to the nitration of tyrosine resides in tissue proteins. The extent of protein nitrotyrosine formation provides an index of the production of reactive nitrogen species and potential cell damage over a period of time. Nitrotyrosine can be measured by amino-acid analysis of protein hydrolysates. Nitrotyrosine can be detected and located in cells and tissues by immunocytochemical techniques using antibodies directed against the nitrotyrosine hapten. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
