CST, 25439W2, p16 INK4A (D7C1M) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex™ mFluor™ Red 780 Conjugate)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying INK4A, p16. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, p16 INK4A (D7C1M) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex^™ mFluor^™ Red 780 Conjugate) (CST #25439) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology ® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate. Storage Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Specificity / Sensitivity p16 INK4A (D7C1M) Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ mFluor™ Red 780 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total p16 INK4A protein. This antibody does not cross-react with p15 INK4B. This antibody is not recommended for use in immunohistochemistry. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala143 of human p16 INK4A protein. Background Members of the INK4 family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors include p16 INK4A, p15 INK4B, p18 INK4C, and p19 INK4D. The INK4 family members inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4 and CDK6), causing cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. The INK4A-ARF-INK4B locus on chromosome 9p21, frequently lost in human cancer, encodes the INK4 family members p16 INK5A and p15 INK4B, as well as the unrelated protein, ARF (1). p16 INK4A expression, typically repressed in the absence of stress, is thought to drive cells into senescence, and p16 INK4A expression is a commonly used marker of senescent cells (2,3). p16 INK4A protein expression is often altered in human cancer, and high expression is currently used as a predictive biomarker in cervical cancer (3-5).
