SSX2 Antibody

SSX2 belongs to the family of highly homologous synovial sarcoma X (SSX) breakpoint proteins. These proteins may function as transcriptional repressors. They are also capable of eliciting spontaneously humoral and cellular immune responses in cancer patients, and are potentially useful targets in cancer vaccine-based immunotherapy. SSX1, SSX2 and SSX4 genes have been involved in the t (X;18) translocation characteristically found in all synovial sarcomas. This translocation results in the fusion of the synovial sarcoma translocation gene on chromosome 18 to one of the SSX genes on chromosome X. The encoded hybrid proteins are probably responsible for transforming activity. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.The product of this gene belongs to the family of highly homologous synovial sarcoma X (SSX) breakpoint proteins.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store SSX2 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

SSX2 antibody can be used for detection of SSX2 by ELISA at 1:62500. SSX2 antibody can be used for detection of SSX2 by western blot at 1.25 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
