AHP1453 recognises human E2F1 a 46.9 kDa nuclear transcription protein. E2F1 is a transcription activator that binds DNA cooperatively with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP). Together they bind to the promoter region of a number of genes whose products are involved in cell cycle regulation or DNA replication. E2F1 also binds to the retinoblastoma protein (RB1), which functions in the control of cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase.
E2F1 can mediate p53-dependent and independent apoptosis. It is a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumour viruses and increased expression of this protein has been reported in a variety of cancers.

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
Antiserum to human E2F1 was raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
