AHP1568 specifically recognises human CDX2 (caudal-type homeobox protein 2), a nuclear protein and member of the caudal homeobox family, which acts as a regulator for intestinal epithelium gene transcription, and possibly for the differentiation and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells.
Studies have revealed the expression of CDX2 in intestinal-type gastric cancer, colorectal carcinomas and intestinal metaplasia of the stomach, and have implicated CDX2 as an early marker of Barrett's oesophagus, the premalignant lesion of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
AHP1568 is not expected to recognise CDX1 or CDX4.

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.
Western Blotting
AHP1568 detects a band of approximately 38kDa in human kidney and liver cell lysates.
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 CDX2 was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
