Quick Overview for Recombinant Nkx2-2 antibody (AA 1-119) (CF®405S) (ABIN7657935)

Target: Nkx2-2 (NK2 Homeobox 2 (Nkx2-2))

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Nkx2-2 antibody is conjugated to CF®405S

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (fp))

Clone: RNX2-1523

Product Details anti-Nkx2-2 Antibody (CF®405S)

Binding Specificity: AA 1-119

Purpose: NKX2.2 (Neuroendocrine & Ewing s Sarcoma Marker) (rNX2/1523), CF405S conjugate

Characteristics: Expression of NKX2.2 has been found in neuroendocrine tumors of the gut, making it a potential marker for the study of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. More recently, NKX2.2 protein was identified as a target of EWS-FLI-1, the fusion protein specific to Ewing sarcoma, and was shown to be differentially upregulated in Ewing sarcoma on the basis of array-based gene expression analysis. It acts as a valuable marker for Ewing sarcoma, with a sensitivity of 93 % and a specificity of 89 %, and aids in the differential diagnosis of small round cell tumors.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: Human recombinant NKX2.2 protein fragment (around aa1-119)

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody. Immunohistology (formalin): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
