Anti-phospho-p53 (Ser15) (Tumor Suppressor Protein, Oncogene Protein)

p53 tumor suppressor gene mutations are one of the most common genetic alterations in human tumors, including lymphomas. Altering or inactivating p53 by mutation or reaction with oncogenes or viruses may cause depletion of p53, or conversion of p53 from a tumor suppressor gene to a transforming oncogene. The nuclear protein p53 is associated with cell transformation and proliferation, with definitive possibilities as a marker in malignant lymphoma progression. p53's role in the multistep process leading to cancer is still being investigated, with an emphasis on its relation and control over additional tumor suppressors. Expression correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer. In colonic cancer p53 expression seen in 47% of tumors and 9% of colonomas. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000, incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight., Immunoprecipitation: 1:200, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
