CDKN2A, also known as p16-INK4a, serves as a critical tumor suppressor that regulates cell cycle progression by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 4. This protein plays a fundamental role in cellular senescence and acts as a key barrier against oncogenic transformation. Loss or inactivation of CDKN2A is among the most frequent alterations observed in human cancers, making it an essential marker for cancer research, cell cycle studies, and investigations into aging mechanisms.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant technology. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced from a stable expression system, you can expect consistent performance across experiments and over time, eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations. The antibody is raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide derived from human CDKN2A and purified by affinity chromatography to ensure high specificity.
Validation data demonstrates reliable performance across multiple experimental platforms. Immunohistochemistry staining in paraffin-embedded human testis tissue shows clear detection using a standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval protocol at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200. Immunofluorescence analysis in HeLa cells reveals distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic localization patterns, while flow cytometry experiments with the same cell line confirm robust signal separation from isotype controls, supporting quantitative single-cell analyses.
This versatility across tissue sections, cultured cells, and flow cytometry workflows makes the antibody well-suited for researchers investigating CDKN2A expression in tumor biology, senescence pathways, or cell cycle regulation. The unconjugated format provides flexibility for pairing with your preferred secondary detection systems.
