Ki-67 Assay
(Mouse primary antibody)
Description:
Ki-67 Assay
(Mouse primary antibody)
(Mouse primary antibody)
Product Overview:
Millipore's HCS206 assay provides a complete solution for identifying and quantifying Ki-67 expression in cellular imaging applications. The reagents in the kit have been specifically optimized for HCS applications.
Background Information:
The Ki-67 antigen (Ki-67) is a classic marker of cellular proliferation and has found widespread application in diagnostic, research and drug discovery applications. The Ki-67 antigen was originally defined by the monoclonal antibody Ki-67, the name being derived from the city of origin (Kiel) and the number of the original clone in the 96-well plate. Ki-67 antigen is preferentially expressed during late G1, S, G2 and M phase of the cell cycle, while resting, non-cycling cells (G0 phase) lack Ki-67 expression. Thus, Ki-67 is commonly used as a proliferation marker.

Materials Required but Not Delivered:
1. Sterile, tissue culture-treated black/clear bottom microplates suitable for High-Content Imaging.
2. Cell-type for assay, e.g., HeLa (human cervical adenocarcinoma, ATCC #CCL-2) or A549 (human lung carcinoma, ATCC #CCL-185).
3. Tissue culture instruments/supplies (including 37ºC incubator, growth media, flasks/plates, detachment buffer, etc.) for cell type of interest.
4. HCS imaging/analysis system, e.g., GE Healthcare IN Cell Analyzer 1000 with Investigator software. Imaging system must be equipped with beam-splitters and filters capable of reading emission spectra in the blue and red ranges.

Storage Conditions:
When stored under the conditions indicated on the labels, the kit components are stable up to the expiration date. HCS Fixation Solution, HCS Immunofluorescence Buffer, HCS Wash Buffer, DMSO, Compound Dilution Buffer, and Plate Sealers should be stored at 2-8ºC. HCS Primary Antibody, HCS Secondary Antibody, Hoechst HCS Nuclear Stain, Etoposide and Paclitaxel should be stored at -20ºC, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles. (Note: If kit is expected to be used for multiple experiments, rather than a single use, thaw antibodies, nuclear stain and control compounds and dispense into appropriately sized aliquots. Store aliquots at -20ºC.)
Discard any remaining reagents after the expiration date.
