E2F's are DNA binding proteins, which associate with negative regulators, such as the retinoblastoma p107 protein, resulting in an altered rate of gene transcription. E2F1 is proposed to be involved in several cellular processes that range from tumor suppressor, cell progression and oncogenesis. E2F1 overexpression can also drive cells into apoptosis.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:20,000-1:100,000
Western Blot: 1:250-1:2000
Immunohistochemistry: 10ug/ml. Paraffin. Requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment for 20 minutes prior to staining of paraffin sections.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control: Breast carcinoma
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.
