Recognizes a protein of 14-16kDa, which is a novel nuclear antigen of proliferating cells. IPO38 antigen is present in the nuclei of proliferating cells such as Hodgkin s disease and non-Hodgkin s lymphomas, different forms of leukemias, breast and colorectal carcinomas, and PHA-stimulated lymphocytes. It is not expressed in the cells of non-stimulated lymphocytes and granulocytes. IPO38 may be a useful marker of cell proliferation during monitoring of tumor progression.

Store the IPO-38 antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
