Monoclonal Antibody to Cyclin D1 (G1-Cyclin & Mantle Cell Marker) (Clone : DCS-6) -PE

Recognizes a protein of 36kDa, identified as cyclin D1. Cyclin D1, one of the key cell cycle regulators, is a putative proto-oncogene overexpressed in a wide variety of human neoplasms. This antibody neutralizes the activity of cyclin D1 in vivo. About 60% of mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) contain a t (11; 14) (q13; q32) translocation resulting in over-expression of cyclin D1. This antibody is useful in identifying mantle cell lymphomas (cyclin D1 positive) from CLL/SLL and follicular lymphomas (cyclin D1 negative) . Occasionally, hairy cell leukemia and plasma cell myeloma weakly express Cyclin D1.
