Description
p53 is a 53 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that acts as a tumor suppressor protein, and is involved in inhibiting cell proliferation when DNA damage occurs. The gene for p53 is the most commonly mutated gene yet identified in human cancers. Missense mutations occur in tumors of the colon, lung, breast, ovary, bladder and several other organs. The mutant p53 is overexpressed in a variety of transformed cells and wild-type p53 forms specific complexes with several viral oncogenes including SV40 large T, E1B from adenovirus, and E6 from human papilloma virus. Wild type p53 plays a role as a checkpoint protein for DNA damage during the G1/S-phase of the cell cycle.
G59-12 recognizes mutant and wild type human, rat and mouse p53 tumor suppressor protein. Recombinant full-length human p53 was used as immunogen. The G59-12 clone was originally characterized by western blot analysis, immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemical staining. Clone MOPC-21 is a mouse IgG1 isotype control. The MOPC-21 antibody has unknown specificity.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Positive control cell lines include SK-BR-3 human breast carcinoma cells (ATCC HTB-30), HT-29 human adenocarcinoma (ATCC HTB-38) and A431 human epidermal carcinoma cells (ATCC CRL-1555). Jurkat human T (leukemia) cells (ATCC TIB-152) or MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells (ATCC HTB-22) are suggested as negative controls.
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.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
