p21 Antibody / CDKN1A

• Catalog Number: orb385829
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: p21WAF1 is a specific inhibitor of cdk s and a tumor suppressor involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of malignancies. The expression of this gene acts as an inhibitor of the cell cycle during G1 phase and is tightly controlled by the tumor suppressor protein p53. Its expression is induced by the wild type, but not mutant, p53 suppressor protein. Normal cells generally display a rather intense nuclear p21 expression. Loss of p21 expression has been reported in many carcinomas (gastric carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma).
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Species/Host: Mouse
• Isotype: Mouse IgG2a, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human
• Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human protein was used as the immunogen for the p21 antibody. This antibody is not suitable for testing mouse and rat samples.
• UniProt ID: P38936
• Tested applications: IF, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Prediluted IHC only format: incubate for 30 min at RT (1)
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the p21 antibody to 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.
• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Clone Number: WAF21-1
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Hazard Information: This p21 antibody is available for research use only.
• Note: For research use only
