		Technical Data
M9760-10D	Myeloperoxidase (MPO, pANCA, 84kD Myeloperoxidase, 89kD Myeloperoxidase, Myeloperoxidase Heavy Chain, Myeloperoxidase Light Chain)

Description:
Myeloperoxidase is an important enzyme used by granulocytes during phagocytic lysis of foreign particles engulfed. In normal tissues and in a variety of myeloproliferative disorders myeloid cells of both neutrophilic and eosinophilic types, at all stages of maturation, exhibit strong cytoplasmic reactivity for MPO. Erythroid precursors, megakaryocytes, lymphoid cells, mast cells, and plasma cells are nonreactive. MPO is not observed in the neoplastic cells of a wide variety of epithelial tumors and sarcomas. MPO is useful in differentiating between myeloid and lymphoid leukemias.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1:1 Staining of formalin fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6 for 10 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Tonsil or spleen
