What is Rabbit anti-Human p16INK4A Monoclonal Antibody?
This antibody is a rabbit-derived monoclonal tool designed to qualitatively identify the p16INK4A antigen in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. As a tumor suppressor protein, p16INK4A is a critical regulator of the G1/S cell cycle checkpoint. AAA Biotech offers this antibody for research into cellular senescence and various cancers where p16 expression is altered.
How does it work?
The antibody works by binding specifically to the p16INK4A protein, which inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases like CDK4 and CDK6. By preventing these kinases from phosphorylating the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein, p16INK4A helps halt the cell cycle. Researchers use this binding to visualize the protein's presence and distribution within cells via microscopy.
What are its main applications?
The primary application is immunohistochemistry (IHC) for identifying p16 overexpression, which is a hallmark of certain viral-induced cancers, such as cervical squamous cell carcinoma. It is also utilized in Western Blotting and immunofluorescence assays to study cell cycle regulation and tumor suppression pathways in human tissue samples and cell lines.
Why choose this antibody over others?
Choosing the AAA Biotech monoclonal version ensures high specificity and superior batch-to-batch consistency compared to polyclonal alternatives. Monoclonal antibodies reduce background staining and provide more reliable results in demanding IHC protocols. Its high affinity for the p16INK4A epitope makes it a dependable choice for detecting low-level protein expression in complex tissue environments.
How should it be stored and handled?
This antibody should generally be stored at -20°C for long-term stability, though some ready-to-use formats may be kept at 2-8°C. It is important to aliquot the concentrated form upon receipt to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can degrade the protein. Always handle with standard laboratory safety precautions and use within the recommended expiration date.
What should be considered when selecting it?
When selecting this antibody, researchers should consider the specific tissue type and the validated application, such as IHC-P or Western Blot. It is essential to include appropriate positive controls, like cervical cancer tissue, and negative controls to ensure staining accuracy. AAA Biotech recommends reviewing the datasheet for the optimal dilution ratio tailored to your experimental setup.
