Invitrogen™ Ki-67 Monoclonal Antibody (SolA15), Brilliant Ultra Violet™ 805, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

The monoclonal antibody SolA15 recognizes mouse and rat Ki-67, a 300 kDa nuclear protein. Ki-67 is present during all active phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2, and mitosis), but is absent from resting cells (G0). Ki-67 is detected within the nucleus during interphase but redistributes to the chromosomes during mitosis. Ki-67 is used as a marker for determining the growth fraction of a given population of cells. In studies of tumor cells, the Ki-67 labeling index refers to the number of Ki-67 positive cells within the population and this is used to predict outcome of particular cancer types. Ki-67 has been shown to interact with the DNA-bound protein chromobox protein homolog 3 (CBX3) (heterochromatin). The SolA15 antibody also recognizes human, Non-human Primate and canine Ki-67. Applications Reported: This SolA15 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This SolA15 antibody has been tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated mouse splenocytes. This may be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Brilliant Ultraviolet 805 is a tandem dye that emits at 797 nm and is intended for use on cytometers equipped with an ultraviolet (355 nm) laser.
