Aurora A/STK15 Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: Aurora-A (Aurora-A/STK-15/Aik) encoding a centrosome-associated kinase, is amplified and over-expressed in many cancer cell types, and is involved in the induction of centrosome duplication-distribution abnormalities and aneuploidy in mammalian cells. So that, Aurora-A is a potential oncogene. Aurora-A have been identified three types (Aurora-A, B, C) which has high homology domain in C terminal region. Aurora family is indispendsable kinase that regulate the structure and function of centrosomes and spindle. Aurora-A could be one of targeting molecule of anti-cancer therapy. This antibody was established from the purified serum of the immunized rabbit with N terminal region of Aurora-A and did not show any cross-reactivity to Aurora-B and Aurora-C. This antibody is useful for western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

| Fixation: Formalin-fixed paraffin sections, or acetone fixed frozen sections |
| Positive Control: MCF-7 cells |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control, absorption control |
| Blocking: 2-5% normal serum to reduce unspecific background staining; 0.5-3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity; avidin/biotin to block endogenous biotin activity if necessary |
Notes:
There is no need to perform antigen retrieval on acetone fixed frozen sections |
