Anti-E2F1 Transcription Factor, clone 0.T.31/0.T

E2F-1 was identified as a cellular protein with DNA binding activity associated with the adenovirus E2 gene promoter. The original member of the E2F family of transcription factors, now consisting of five, was identified through its association with the retinoblastoma protein, which controls its activity. E2F-1 is cell cycle regulated with very low levels in early G1 then increasing levels as cells move from G1 to S with highest levels of protein at the G1/S boundary, which is consistent with its role in S-phase entry. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml of antibody detected E2F-1 in a HeLa nuclear extract. , Immunoprecipitation: 4ug immunoprecipitated E2F-1 from HeLa nuclear extract., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Antigen Control (Included): H1838: HeLa Nuclear Extract, Hybridoma: SP2 mouse myeloma cells with immunized mouse splenocytes. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
