BMI-1 Antibody

SKU: orb606975

Description

The B cell-specific moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (Bmi-1) is a transcriptional receptor of the polycomb gene family involved in several cellular processes including cell-cycle regulation, apoptosis, and maintenance of adult and neoplastic stem cells by providing self-renewal capacity. Further, Bmi-1 expression has been associated with malignant transformation, tumor progression, metastatic disease, and poor prognosis in human malignancies.

Research Area

Epigenetics & Chromatin

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P
• Dilution Range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the BMI-1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

IHC testing of FFPE human colon carcinoma with BMI-1 antibody (clone BMI1/2689). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH6, 10mM citrate buffer, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using Bcl6 antibody (clone BMI1/2690). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the BMI1/2690 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
