Ki-67 antigen (MKI67) is a nuclear protein encoded by the MKI67 gene and is widely used as a marker of cellular proliferation. Ki-67 Antibody for Immunofluorescence / Ki67 Antibody (clone MKI67/2461) enables fluorescence microscopy detection of this proliferation-associated protein, allowing researchers to visualize actively cycling cells in cultured cell systems and tissue samples using immunofluorescence imaging approaches.
Ki-67 antibody, also referred to as Ki67 antibody or MKI67 antibody in the literature, detects a protein that localizes predominantly within the nucleus during active phases of the cell cycle. Ki-67 expression occurs during G1, S, G2, and mitotic phases but is largely absent in resting G0 cells. Because of this tightly regulated cell cycle expression, immunofluorescence labeling with Ki-67 antibodies provides a reliable method for identifying proliferating cells within heterogeneous cell populations.
Ki-67 Antibody for Immunofluorescence produces characteristic nuclear fluorescence patterns in proliferating cells, typically appearing as punctate or speckled nuclear signal that reflects association of Ki-67 with nucleolar structures and chromatin during the cell cycle. These fluorescence patterns allow Ki-67 positive nuclei to be readily distinguished from non-proliferating cells when visualized by fluorescence microscopy.
Immunofluorescence techniques also allow Ki-67 staining to be integrated into multicolor imaging experiments. Ki-67 Antibody for Immunofluorescence can be combined with additional fluorescent antibodies targeting cytoskeletal proteins, membrane markers, or lineage-specific proteins to perform co-localization studies within the same cells. In these multicolor IF experiments, nuclear Ki-67 fluorescence can be visualized simultaneously with markers such as tubulin, actin, or cell surface proteins, allowing researchers to examine relationships between cellular architecture and proliferative activity.
Co-staining with nuclear dyes such as DAPI or other fluorescent nuclear stains further enhances interpretation of Ki-67 immunofluorescence images by clearly defining nuclear morphology and cell cycleâassociated nuclear organization. These multicolor fluorescence imaging approaches allow investigators to correlate Ki-67 positive nuclei with additional cellular features, supporting detailed analysis of proliferative cell populations in cell biology and cancer research studies. Ki-67 Antibody for Immunofluorescence (clone MKI67/2461) therefore supports fluorescence-based visualization and co-localization analysis of the Ki-67 / MKI67 proliferation marker in multicolor immunofluorescence experiments.
Optimal dilution of the Ki-67 Antibody for Immunofluorescence 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 Ki67 antibody.
Store the Ki67 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
