Description_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Protein fragment expressed in E. coli corresponding to amino acids 1759-2093._x000D_ Application_x000D_ For IHC: Use at a concentration of 10 g/mL. Briefly, 4-m tissue sections were cut from the same blocks of hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides, mounted on charged slides, deparaffinized in xylene, and rehydrated in descending grades of ethyl alcohol (from 100% to 70%). The slides used for mitosin staining were then subjected to heat-induced antigen retrieval by immersion in a 0.01 mol/L citrate buffer, pH 6.0; preheated to > 90 ¡C; and heated in an electric vegetable steamer (Black and Decker, Shelton, CT) for 54 minutes. The endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by a 5-minute treatment with 3% hydrogen peroxide in absolute methanol. Immunohistochemical analysis was then performed using the avidin-biotin technique (LSAB2 peroxidase kit; DAKO, Carpinteria, CA). The antigen-antibody immunoreaction was visualized using 3-3-diaminobenzedine as the chromogen, and the slides were counterstained with Mayer hematoxylin. For ICC/IF: Use at a dilution of 1:500. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing no preservatives_x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Mitosin is a 350kDa phosphoprotein that is specifically involved in mitotic-phase progression. Mitosin is expressed throughout S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle but is absent in G0 and G1. It associates with the mitotic apparatus during M-phase, and is redistributed from the nucleus to the centromere, spindle, and midbody during M-phase progression. Its usefulness as a proliferation marker is under active investigation._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
