Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 2 alpha (HIF-2-alpha) Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry

Description: Hypoxia contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of major categories of human disease, including myocardial and cerebral ischemia, cancer, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. HIF-2 alpha is predominantly expressed in highly vascularized tissues of adult humans and endothelial cells of the embryonic and adult mouse, whereas HIF-1alpha functions primarily in extravascular tissues. HIF-2 alpha is also a potent activator of the tie-2 gene, which is known to be selectively expressed in endothelial cells.
