Contributor Information

  • Name Lawrence Banks
  • Institute Cancer Research UK, London Research Institute: Lincoln's Inn Fields

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-HPV18E6 [C1N1]
  • Alternate names: HPV-18 E6, HPV-18 E6 protein, HPV18 E6, HPV18E6
  • Clone: C1N1
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Virus
  • Host: Mouse
  • Cancer type: Gynaecologic cancer
  • Molecular weight of the target: 16.5 kDa
  • Application: ELISA ; IP ; WB
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: The human papilloma virus (HPV) family of DNA tumor viruses includes HPV-16 and HPV-18, which are associated with a large proportion of cervical cancer cases. HPV early proteins E6 and E7 are the major viral oncoproteins that regulate cell proliferation through the inactivation of p53 and Rb1 tumour suppressor proteins respectively. BF7 can be used for detection of HPV in cervical smears and biopsies and analysis of E6 expression in cell transformation studies.
  • Immunogen: HPV18E6-beta-galactosidase fusion protein synthesized in E. coli
  • Isotype: IgG
  • Research area: Cancer; Microbiology
  • Myeloma used: P3/NS1/1-Ag4.1

  • For Research Use Only
