Staining Procedure
(1. Cut and mount 3-5 micron formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues on positively charged slides such as Hydrophilic Plus Slides.2. Air dry for 2 hours at 58° C.3. Deparaffinize, dehydrate and rehydrate tissues.4. Subject tissues to heat induced epitope retrieval (HIER) using a suitable retrieval solution such as ImmunoDNA Retriever with Citrate or EDTA.5. Any of three heating methods may be used:a. TintoRetriever Pressure Cooker or EquivalentPlace tissues/slides in a staining dish or coplin jar containing the ImmunoDNA Retriever with Citrate or EDTA, and place on trivet in the pressure cooker. Add 1-2 inches of distilled water to the pressure cooker and turn heat to high. Incubate for 15 minutes. Open and immediately transfer slides to room temperature.b. TintoRetriever PT Module or Water Bath MethodPlace tissues/slides in a pre-warmed staining dish or coplin jar containing the ImmunoDNA Retriever with Citrate or EDTA at 95°-99° C. Incubate for 30-60 minutes.c. Conventional Steamer MethodPlace tissues/slides in a pre-warmed staining dish or coplin jar containing the ImmunoDNA Retriever with Citrate or EDTA in a steamer, cover and steam for 30-60 minutes.6. After heat treatment, transfer slides in ImmunoDNA Retriever with Citrate or EDTA to room temperature and let stand for 15-20 minutes.7. For manual staining, perform antibody incubation at ambient temperature. For automated staining methods, perform antibody incubation according to instrument manufacturer’s instructions.8.

Specimen Preparation
Paraffin sections:
The antibody can be used on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. Ensure tissue undergoes appropriate fixation for best results. Pre-treatment of tissues with heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) is recommended using ImmunoDNA Retriever with Citrate, ImmunoDNA Retriever with EDTA or ImmunoDNA Digestor. See reverse side for complete protocol. Tissue should remain hydrated via use of the Immuno/DNA Washer solutions.
Frozen sections and cell preparations:
The antibody can be used for labeling acetone-fixed frozen sections and acetone-fixed cell preparations.

Related Product Information for anti-p21 antibody
p21 is a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. The p21 protein binds to and inhibits the activity of cyclin-CDK2 or -CDK1 complexes, and thus functions as a regulator of cell cycle progression at G1. The expression of this gene is tightly controlled by the tumor suppressor protein p53, through which this protein mediates the p53-dependent cell cycle G1 phase arrest in response to a variety of stimuli. In addition to growth arrest, p21 can mediate cellular senescence. p21 can also interact with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and plays a regulatory role in S phase DNA replication and DNA damage repair.
Normal cells typically display a rather intense nuclear p21 expression. Loss of p21 expression has been associated with poor prognosis in several carcinomas including Gastric Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Thyroid Carcinoma.

Product Notes
The p21 cdkn1a (Catalog #AAA59281) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The p21 reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "p21, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
