Source/Purification	Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence around Gly12 of human eIF4A1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background	A variety of factors contribute to the important biological event of initiation of translation. The eIF4F complex of translation initiation factors binds to the 5 m7 GTP cap to open up the mRNA secondary structure and allow small ribosome subunit binding (1). eIF4A, an eIF4 complex component that acts as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase, unwinds the secondary structure of the 5 mRNA untranslated region to mediate ribosome binding (2,3). In addition, eIF4A has recently been shown to repress Dpp/BMP signalling in a translation-independent manner in Drosophila (4,5).
