Price: 130 € / 5 ml

Monoclonal Antibodies

Origin:	Mouse

Isotype:	IgG2a + IgG1

Clone:	4A4 + 34

Format:	ready to use

Quantity:	5 ml

Working concentration:	neat

Presentation:	Antibody solution in stabilizing phosphate buffer pH 7.3. Contains 0.09 % sodium azide**. The volume is sufficient for at least 50 immunohistochemical tests (100 µl working solution / test). Use appropriate antibody diluent e.g. BIOLOGO Art .No. PU002.

Immunogen:	Recombinant human p63 protein (aa 1-205) and cytokeratin extract of human stratum corneum

Specificity:	nuclear p63 and cytoplasmic high molecular weight cytokeratins

Species Specificity:	Human

General Information:	The p63 protein, a homologue of the tumour-suppressor p53, is highly expressed in the nuclei of basal or progenitor layer of many epithelial tissues. p63 is detected in prostate basal cells in normal prostate glands and PIN. Other markers for basal cells are high molecular cytokeratins (CK 1, 5, 10 and 14), which can be labelled with HMW CK clone 34

Positive control:	Normal prostate tissue or skin

Pre-treatment:	Use formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections; Retrieval conditions: Unmasking fluid T, TEC buffer (Tris/EDTA/Citrate) pH 8 (Art. No. DE005) in a pressure cooker at 100°C 20-40 minutes

Applications:	IHC(P)

Incubation time:	30-60 min

Secondary reagents:	We recommend the use of BIOLOGO's Universal Staining System DAB (Art. No. DA005) or AEC (Art. No. AE005), but also other staining systems including anti-mouse IgG will be suitable

Storage:	2-8°C
