Anti-POU2AF1 / BOB-1, clone BOB1/2425

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. BOB1, also called POU2AF1, expression in a variety of established B-cell lines, representing different stages of B-cell development, has suggested a constitutive, B-cell-specific expression pattern. LP cells in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, because they are germinal center-derived, are consistently immuno-positive for BOB1. Conversely, only some cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma show BOB1 immuno-reactivity within the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells. Expression of BOB1 has been reported in follicular center cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and some cases of acute myeloid leukemia. B-CLL, marginal zone lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma may show weak to moderate immunoreactivity. Protein function: Transcriptional coactivator that specifically associates with either OCT1 or OCT2. It boosts the OCT1 mediated promoter activity and to a lesser extent, that of OCT2. It has no intrinsic DNA-binding activity. It recognizes the POU domains of OCT1 and OCT2. It is essential for the response of B-cells to antigens and required for the formation of germinal centers.
