Description: The assessment of cell proliferation by the detection of Ki67 antigen in neoplastic cell populations has been shown to be of prognostic value. The polyclonal antibody (NCL-Ki67p) labels Ki67 antigen in the granular components of the nucleolus during late G1, S, G2 and M phases. There is a strong correlation between low or high Ki67 index and low or high grade histopathology of neoplasms.
