The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

ABL1 is a protooncogene that encodes a protein tyrosine kinase (ABL proto-oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase) involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell division, adhesion, differentiation, and response to stress. The activity of the protein is negatively regulated by its SH3 domain, whereby deletion of the region encoding this domain results in an oncogene. The ubiquitously expressed protein has DNA-binding activity that is regulated by CDC2-mediated phosphorylation, suggesting a cell cycle function. ABL1 has been found fused to a variety of translocation partner genes in various leukemias, most notably the t (9; 22) translocation that results in a fusion with the 5' end of the breakpoint cluster region gene (BCR; MIM:151410). Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants, which contain alternative first exons that are spliced to the remaining common exons.

Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the investigator. Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: WB: 1:500-1:2000, IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, ELISA: 1:20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
