anti-p53 FITC Conjugate
Human p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which is mutated in many cancers (2). p53 expression has been linked to apoptosis caused by DNA-damaging agents (5) and may have a role in cell-mediated cytotoxicity (4).
Isotype: Murine IgG1 kappa
Immunogen: Murine p53 fragment expressed in E. coli
Specificity: Antibody PAb240 recognizes a denaturization resistant p53 epitope between amino acids 156-214. It is cross reactive with human, mouse, hamster, rat, bovine and chicken(6) tissues(1).
