c-jun Oncoprotein Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: c-jun is the normal cellular homologue of the transforming gene of avian sarcoma virus 17 and a member of the early-response gene family. The c-jun oncogene encodes a nuclear protein, p39, which is a major component of the transcription factor AP1 and interacts with the c-fos oncogene product forming a transacting heterodimer. c-jun oncoprotein plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression and signal transduction processes. Alterations in c-jun expression may affect the transcriptional initiation of specific target genes and as a consequence may affect normal cell growth and function.

Additional Information:
| Tissue Type: Breast cancer |
| Fixation: Formalin fixed paraffin sections, or acetone fixed frozen sections |
| Positive Control: A large proportion of breast cancers are positive |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control or 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:
Trypsin digestion is for paraffin sections. There is no need for frozen sections |
