Anti-p53 (Tumor Suppressor Protein, Oncogene Protein), clone 0.N.496

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. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Gel Supershift Assay, Immunofluorescence, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunoprecipitation: 2ug/mg protein lystae, native and denatured, use Protein A., Immunohistochemistry (formalin/paraffin): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT. Staining of formalin/paraffin tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer pH 6.0 for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min., Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml for 2 hrs at RT., Optimal dilution determined by the researcher. , , Positive Control: MDA-231, SKBR-3 cells or colon carcinoma.
