Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site. CDK2 (phospho-Thr160) antibody detects endogenous levels of CDK2 only when phosphorylated at threonine 160.
Purification
Immunoaffinity chromatography.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human CDK2 around the phosphorylation site of threonine 160 (T-Y-TP-H-E).
Suitable for use in Western blot (1: 500approx. 1: 1000), ELISA (1: 4000) and Immunohistochemistry(1: 50approx. 1: 100). Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Cdk2 is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. It is highly similar to the gene products of S. cerevisiae cdc28, and S. pombe cdc2. It is a catalytic subunit of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase complex, whose activity is restricted to the G1-S phase, and is essential for cell cycle G1/S phase transition. This protein associates with and is regulated by the regulatory subunits of the complex including cyclin A or E, CDK inhibitor p21Cip1 (CDKN1A) and p27Kip1 (CDKN1B). Its activity is also regulated by protein phosphorylation. Two alternatively spliced variants and multiple transcription initiation sites of this gene have been reported.Synonyms: Cell division protein kinase 2, Cyclin dependent kinase 2, p33 protein kinase
