Ki-67 antigen (MKI67) is a nuclear protein encoded by the MKI67 gene and is widely recognized as a marker of cellular proliferation. Ki-67 Antibody for IF / Ki67 IF Antibody (clone MKI67/2466) enables visualization of this proliferation-associated protein using immunofluorescence microscopy, allowing researchers to detect actively cycling cells within cultured cell populations and tissue specimens at single-cell resolution.
Ki-67 antibody, also referred to as Ki67 antibody or MKI67 antibody in the literature, detects a protein that localizes predominantly to the nucleus during active phases of the cell cycle. Ki-67 expression is present during G1, S, G2, and mitosis but is largely absent in resting G0 cells. Because of this cell cycle-dependent expression pattern, immunofluorescence staining with Ki-67 antibodies provides a reliable method for identifying proliferating cells in fluorescence microscopy experiments.
Ki-67 Antibody for IF allows fluorescent labeling of the Ki-67 protein within individual nuclei, producing characteristic punctate or speckled nuclear fluorescence in proliferating cells. This punctate pattern reflects the association of Ki-67 with nucleolar structures and chromatin throughout the cell cycle. Under fluorescence microscopy, Ki-67 positive nuclei appear as bright nuclear foci within proliferating cells, while non-cycling cells show little to no detectable fluorescence signal.
Immunofluorescence approaches provide high-resolution visualization of Ki-67 localization and are particularly useful for analyzing proliferative cell populations in cultured cells and experimental models. Ki-67 Antibody for IF can be combined with nuclear stains such as DAPI or with cytoskeletal markers including phalloidin or tubulin antibodies in multicolor imaging experiments. These fluorescence imaging approaches allow researchers to correlate nuclear morphology, cytoskeletal organization, and proliferative activity within the same microscopic field.
The Ki-67 protein itself plays roles in chromatin organization and mitotic chromosome architecture during cell division, and its nuclear distribution changes dynamically during different phases of the cell cycle. These biological features contribute to the distinctive fluorescence staining patterns observed in Ki-67 immunofluorescence experiments. Ki-67 Antibody for IF (clone MKI67/2466) is a mouse monoclonal antibody designed for fluorescence-based visualization of Ki-67 / MKI67 in studies of cell proliferation, tumor biology, and cellular growth dynamics.
Optimal dilution of the Ki-67 Antibody for IF should be determined by the researcher.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
A portion of amino acids 2293-2478 was used as the immunogen for the Ki-67 antibody.
Store the Ki-67 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
