FOXP1, an 85kD member of the winged helix/forkhead transcription factor family. The FOXP1 transcription factor is widely expressed in human tissues and is predominantly localised to the nucleus. However, the level of expression does vary between cells and between different tissues. The expression of FOXP1 is reported to be abnormal in a range of solid tumors. Studies suggest that FOXP1 functions as a transcriptional repressor.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (frozen and paraffin). Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:200-1:500 requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections.
1mM EDTA pH8.0 is recommended for this purpose.
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, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, 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.
