DNA topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) is a nuclear enzyme that regulates DNA topology during replication, transcription, and chromosome segregation. The protein belongs to the type II DNA topoisomerase family and functions by introducing transient double strand breaks that relieve torsional stress during DNA replication. TOP2A expression increases during the S phase and G2/M phases of the cell cycle and therefore serves as a well established marker of proliferating cells. The enzyme localizes predominantly within the nucleus where it participates in chromosome condensation and mitotic chromosome segregation.
Topoisomerase II alpha Antibody for IF (clone TOP2A/1361) is designed specifically for immunofluorescence based visualization of TOP2A protein in cultured cells and tissue derived cell preparations. In immunofluorescence microscopy assays, this mouse monoclonal antibody generates a strong nuclear fluorescence signal that reflects the intracellular distribution of TOP2A protein. Immunofluorescence imaging allows direct visualization of nuclear TOP2A localization at single cell resolution, enabling researchers to evaluate proliferation related nuclear protein patterns and cell cycle dependent changes in expression.
Immunofluorescence analysis of TOP2A antibody staining typically reveals distinct nuclear fluorescence in proliferating cells where the enzyme accumulates within chromatin regions involved in DNA replication and mitosis. Because immunofluorescence microscopy preserves cellular architecture, investigators can clearly observe nuclear enrichment of TOP2A while distinguishing the signal from surrounding cytoplasmic structures. This makes the Topoisomerase II alpha Antibody for IF particularly useful for fluorescence based imaging workflows that require precise intracellular localization of nuclear proteins.
Immunofluorescence techniques also allow TOP2A antibody staining to be combined with other fluorescent markers for multiplex imaging experiments. Co-staining with nuclear dyes such as DAPI and fluorescent antibodies targeting additional cell cycle proteins enables detailed analysis of nuclear organization and proliferation status. Through these immunofluorescence based approaches, TOP2A protein distribution can be examined in relation to chromatin structure, mitotic chromosomes, and other nuclear components.
The Topoisomerase II alpha Antibody for IF provides a reliable tool for fluorescence microscopy studies investigating nuclear proliferation markers and chromosome associated enzymes. Because immunofluorescence assays provide high spatial resolution, TOP2A antibody staining allows visualization of nuclear protein distribution patterns that cannot be resolved by bulk biochemical assays. Researchers frequently use immunofluorescence microscopy to examine how TOP2A localization changes during cell cycle progression or in response to cellular stress and DNA replication activity.
Clone TOP2A/1361 specificity has been evaluated using protein microarray analysis containing thousands of full length human proteins. Protein microarray validation demonstrates selective recognition of TOP2A while minimizing cross-reactivity with unrelated proteins. This level of specificity is particularly important for immunofluorescence microscopy because accurate intracellular fluorescence signals depend on highly specific antibody binding to the intended nuclear target.
When used in immunofluorescence imaging experiments, the Topoisomerase II alpha Antibody for IF highlights nuclei of actively dividing cells where TOP2A regulates DNA topology during replication and chromosome segregation. The clear nuclear fluorescence signal produced by clone TOP2A/1361 makes it well suited for microscopy-based studies examining cell proliferation, chromatin dynamics, and nuclear organization in cell biology research.
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Topoisomerase II alpha Antibody for IF / TOP2A Immunofluorescence Antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
Amino acids 1352-1493 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for this Topoisomerase II alpha Antibody for IF / TOP2A Immunofluorescence Antibody.
