APPLICATION

Application Note

ELISA: Use at an assay dependent dilution. IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution. IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 1 - 2 ?g/ml. Perform enzymatic antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. For staining formalin-fixed tissues, digest sections with trypsin at 1mg/ml PBS, for 10 min at 37?C. Note: Enzyme digestion is better than citrate buffer based epitope unmasking. IP: Use 2 ?g/mg protein lysate (Denatured verified; Use Protein G). WB: Use at a concentration of 1 - 2 ?g/ml. (Human form at 170 kDa; see under """"Specificity"""" for other species molecular weights.) Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Background

Involucrin, a component of the keratinocyte crosslinked envelope, is found in the cytoplasm and crosslinked to membrane proteins by transglutaminase. Involucrin is expressed in a range of stratified squamous epithelia, including the cornea. In normal epidermis, it is first expressed in the upper spinous layers, and in keratinocyte cultures it is expressed by all cells that have left the basal layer. Involucrin expression is abnormal in squamous cell carcinomas and premalignant lesions and is reduced in severe dysplasias of the larynx and cervix. Its gene is mapped to 1q21, among calpactin I light chain, trichohyalin, profillaggrin, loricrin, and calcyclin.
