Protocol Available protocols: Immunofluorescence (Frozen) Specificity / Sensitivity Ki-67 (D3B5) Mouse Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Ki-67 protein. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from Ki-67 (D3B5) Rabbit mAb #9129 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a mouse-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies. The parent antibody, Ki-67 (D3B5) Rabbit mAb #9129, is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein fragment corresponding to residues near the central region of human Ki-67 protein. Background Ki-67, named after the location where it was discovered (Kiel University, Germany), is a nuclear nonhistone protein (1) that is universally expressed among proliferating cells and absent in quiescent cells (2). Ki-67 detects proliferating cells in G1, S, G2, and mitosis, but not in the G0 resting phase. Research studies have shown that high levels of Ki-67 are associated with poorer breast cancer survival (3). Research studies have explored the use of Ki-67, along with other markers, as potential prognostic or predictive markers in breast cancer and other malignant diseases (4).
