Catalogue Number 151146
Applications FACS IHC IF IP WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets p53
Reactivity Chicken and Mammalian
Relevance Monoclonal antibody reacts specifically with mutated p53 at an epitope conserved across species and normally hidden within the protein structure in non-mutant forms.

Background and Research Application
Anti-p53 (Pab 240) antibody recognises an evolutionary conserved epitope upon p53 hidden within the normal protein structure, however it does not bind to immunoprecipitated wild type p53. This antibody recognises an epitope which is structurally elusive when p53 is in a wildtype conformation but becomes accessible upon denaturation or through mutational conformations where point mutations within the TP53 gene alter the conformational structure of the protein. p53 is a stress-regulated transcription factor that regulates cell cycle arrest and was first identified as an SV40 large T antigen-binding protein. p53 is the most common genetic mutational event in so far identified in human cancers, with the gene present on the short arm of chromosome 17 – a frequent site of allele loss in common cancers. The structure of p53 comprises an N-terminal transactivation domain, a central DNA-binding domain, an oligomerisation domain, and a C-terminal regulatory domain. p53 is a tumour suppressor which upregulates growth arrest and apoptosis-related genes in response to stress signals, thereby influencing programmed cell death, cell differentiation, and cell cycle control mechanisms.
Anti-p53 Pab 240 was created further understand the biochemical role of p53 in cancers and the precise effects of mutation.

Points of Interest
Detection of p53 using PAb 240: 50% colon cancer sections are positive, 30% of breast cancer sections and 70% of lung cancer sections. Normal and premalignant tissue are negative.

Immunoprecipitation with anti-p53 Pab 240 is a possible diagnostic for mutation within p53. It is thought that different point mutations which convert p53 from a recessive to a dominant oncogene exert a common conformational effect to the protein, which prevents (SV40) T antigen binding and promotes self-oligomerisation. Anti-p53 Pab 240 cannot bind to p53 when it is bound to SV40 T antigen. p53 must be unfolded or ‘melted’ from its normal 3D structure, as in most p53 mutants, to react with Pab240.
This antibody was selected for further study given it reacts with human, mouse, rat, hamster, bovine and chicken p53 in immunoblotting experiments. It can stain both the nuclei and cytoplasm, a key indicator of the presence of mutant p53 as typically wild-type p53 is only present within the nucleus.

Concentration
1mg/ml as standard

Difference Between Clones
Pab 246 binds to wild type p53, whereas pab240 binds to mutated or denatured p53.
