Clone Host Grade Applications Monoclonal Mouse Purified B IP IH IC FC

The expression of topoisomerase II alpha is strongly restricted to proliferating cells. The topoisomerase II alpha antigen is preferentially expressed during G1, S, G2 and M phase of the cell cycle, while resting, non-cycling cells (G0 phase) lack topoisomerase II alpha. In addition, constantly proliferating cells (e.g. cell lines) react positively to topoisomerase II alpha during the entire cell-cycle. This specificity for proliferating cells might make it a useful tool for determination of the proliferative fraction in solid tumors such as mammary carcinomas and gangliomas.
