Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
AIM2 is a member of the IFI20X /IFI16 family. It plays a putative role in tumorigenic reversion and may control cell proliferation. Interferon-gamma induces expression of AIM2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
disease:Defects in AIM2 may be a cause of microsatellite unstable colon cancers.,function:Tumor suppressor which may act by repressing NF-kappa-B transcriptional activity.,induction:By interferon gamma.,similarity:Belongs to the HIN-200 family.,similarity:Contains 1 DAPIN domain.,similarity:Contains 1 HIN-200 domain.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:Expressed in spleen, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes, and testis.,
