Description
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) form active complexes that regulate key events during the progression of the cell cycle and are evolutionarily highly conserved. The p16 protein has been identified as a specific inhibitor of cdk4 because it blocks cdk4 substrate phosphorylation. p16 inhibits cdk4 dependent phosphorylation of the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and Rb related proteins, p107 and p130. The biochemical properties of p16 suggest that it may be a tumor suppressor gene product. Recently a gene cloned from the short arm of human chromosome 9, Multiple Tumor Suppressor 1 (MTS1) has been identified as the gene for p16]. The gene, now also known as the CDKN2 gene, has been found to be mutated in a very high percentage of tumors, including 75% of melanoma cell lines. Alternate names for p16 include p16-INK4, p16-INK4a, ARF, MTS1, CDKN2, CDK4l.
Preparation And Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.
Recommended Assay Procedures
Flow cytometry: For flow cytometry protocols, please refer to "Intracellular Flow" at our website: http://www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources
Product Notices
- This antibody has been optimized and preassayed with its matched isotype control to be used at the recommended volume of 20 ul/test. Titration of the reagents or substituting with other (non-matched) isotype control is NOT recommended.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
