Cyclin-dependent kinase-4
Use
CDK4 is a cyclin-dependent kinase that associates with the D-type cyclins and is important in the progression of cells from G1-phase to S-phase of the cell cycle. This antibody does not cross-react with other members of the CDK family and may be used to differentiate benign tumors from sarcomas and osteosarcomas.
Special Instructions
Fresh tissues: Specimens may be fixed in formalin for 24-72 hours by collection sites, then transferred to 70% ethanol and stored at 2-8°C for longer term storage if needed. Samples must be tested 3 months after placing in ethanol. Unstained slides: Positively charged glass slides required to prevent background staining and prevent tissue loss. Slides should be left unbaked.
Limitations
Stated turn-around-times (TATs) are for clinical use only and subject to change based on biopharma protocol requirements. Final TATs will be specified in the biopharma study contract.
