AHP1311 detects CD243, also known as MDR1 (multi-drug resistance protein 1) and P-glycoprotein. CD243 is a 170kDa membrane-associated protein which functions as an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump with broad substrate specificity.
CD243 is highly expressed in the kidney, liver, adrenal gland and intestine, suggesting a primary role in the secretion of metabolites into bile, urine and the lumen of the intestinal tract. CD243 also prevents the accumulation of toxic compounds in critical organs such as the brain, gonads, and bone marrow, and also functions in the placenta to protect the foetus.
CD243 is rapidly up-regulated by chemotherapeutic drugs and is a well established mediator of multidrug resistance.

This product requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections.Sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 is recommended for this purpose.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human CD243 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
