Invented at University of Dundee

Info

Catalogue Number 151147
Applications ChIP IHC IF IP WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets p53 (N terminus)
Synonyms P53, Trp53, pantropic
Reactivity Human
Relevance Anti p53 monoclonal antibody used to analyse and detect ‘the most mutated gene in cancer’ p53 and its protein interactions, enabling identification of transformed cell lines.

Background and Research Application
Anti-p53 binds p53 protein, a crucial tumour suppressor protein implicated in over 50% of cancers. 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 involved in many mechanisms of anti-cancer function, and plays a role in apoptosis, genomic stability, cell cycle regulation and inhibition of angiogenesis. p53 is known as the guardian of the genome as it functions to prevent gene mutation.
Mutants of p53 which frequently occur in human cancers fail to recognise their DNA binding site, leading to the loss of tumour suppressor activity. p53 is typically found in low levels in healthy cells due to its short half-life, however in disease states it is expressed in high amounts due to somatic mutations and believed to contribute to transformation and malignancy. p53 mutations are found in over 50% of cancers with germline mutations, offering a predisposition to inherited cancer susceptibility syndrome.

Understanding the functions of mutant p53 can help in the development of new therapeutic approaches that may be useful in a broad range of cancer types.
Anti-p53 antibody can be used on frozen sections as well as methacarn or formol saline fixed paraffin sections. This antibody was created by David Lane, who also discovered p53, to measure p53 in various analyses of different tissue samples. It can detect interactions of proteins with p53.

Points of Interest
Epitope maps between amino acid residues 11-25 of p53 of human origin

Anti-p53 reacts very strongly with p53 in conventionally fixed and processed histological sections. It allows for analysis of p53 expression in human tumours, including IHC on paraffin-embedded specimens.
Anti-p53 DO-1 can be biotinylated and used for detection of p53 as the labelled antibody, using Pab 421 as the solid-phase capture antibody. This antibody has specificity for a denaturation-resistant epitope at the N terminus of p5. Anti-p53 is useful tool for analysis of p53 expression in human tumours including immunohistochemistry on paraffin embedded specimens.

Concentration
1mg/ml as standard

Difference Between Clones
All clones were created at the same time as anti-p53 DO-7, and all bind to p53 protein, confirmed via immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry. DO1 secreted large amounts of an IgG2a antibody whilst DO2 and DO7 secreted large amounts of an IgG2b antibody. It is likely DO-2 recognises a denatured epitope.
