p21 Antibody / CDKN1A

• Catalog Number: orb749441
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This mAb recognizes a 21kDa protein, identified as the p21WAF1 tumor suppressor protein. This mAb is highly specific to p21 and shows no cross-reaction with other closely related mitotic inhibitors. 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: Human recombinant protein was used as the immunogen for the p21 antibody.
• UniProt ID: P38936
• Tested applications: FACS, IF, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/million cells,Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 2-4ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the p21 antibody to be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min2. 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.
