TP53 Antibody

Mouse anti-p53 antibody, mouse anti-Tumor Suppressor p53 antibody, Phosphoprotein p53 antibody, TP53 antibody, Transformation related protein 53 antibody, TRP53 antibody, cellular Tumor antigen p53 antibody

This protein A purified mouse monoclonal antibody reacts specifically with p53 in human tissues and cell lines. The antibody recognizes a 53 kDa band corresponding to p53. Cross reactivity with p53 from other sources has not been determined.

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Anti-p53 has been tested by western blot and immunofluorescence and is suitable for ChIP, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in spontaneously occurring human cancers. Mutations arise with an average frequency of 70% but incidence varies from zero in carcinoid lung tumors to 97% in primary melanomas. High concentrations of p53 protein are transiently expressed in human epidermis and superficial dental fibroblasts following mild ultraviolet irradiation. This antibody reacts with an N-terminal epitope of the 53 kD gene product and this epitope is not destroyed by formalin-fixation and routine paraffin embedding. Microwaving is needed for optimal staining.
