CD167 is a 125kD protein which is partially processed into a 62kD membrane-anchored beta -subunit and a 54kD soluble alpha-subunit. This process, also termed shedding, is significantly enhanced upon CD167 activation.
CD167 has been demonstrated to be a direct transcriptional target of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, and is significantly over-expressed in breast, ovarian, oesophageal, and paediatric brain tumors.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (paraffin). Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 20-30ug/ml
Requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment for 20 minutes prior to staining of paraffin sections. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
