AHP1462 recognises the p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF?B), otherwise known as RelA. NF?B is a heterodimeric DNA binding protein which was originally identified consisting of p65 and p50 (NF?B1) subunits. Research has led to the discovery of other subunits, including p52 (NF?B2), cRel, and RelB.
NF?B is ubiquitously expressed, and functions as a second messenger which upon activation leads to the transcription of a number of genes. NF?B is activated by a number of agents, including pro-inflammatory cytokines and bacterial lipopolysaccharide, and is essential for the maturation of T cells and regulation of their survival and activation.

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 NFkB p65 was raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
