Application Note
For IHC: Use at a concentration of 10 g/mL. Briefly, 4-m tissue sections were cut from the same blocks of hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides, mounted on charged slides, deparaffinized in xylene, and rehydrated in descending grades of ethyl alcohol (from 100% to 70%). The slides used for mitosin staining were then subjected to heat-induced antigen retrieval by immersion in a 0.01 mol/L citrate buffer, pH 6.0; preheated to > 90 ¡C; and heated in an electric vegetable steamer (Black and Decker, Shelton, CT) for 54 minutes. The endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by a 5-minute treatment with 3% hydrogen peroxide in absolute methanol. Immunohistochemical analysis was then performed using the avidin-biotin technique (LSAB2 peroxidase kit; DAKO, Carpinteria, CA). The antigen-antibody immunoreaction was visualized using 3-3-diaminobenzedine as the chromogen, and the slides were counterstained with Mayer hematoxylin. For ICC/IF: Use at a dilution of 1:500. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher.

Background
This gene encodes a protein that associates with the centromere-kinetochore complex. The protein is a component of the nuclear matrix during the G2 phase of interphase. In late G2 the protein associates with the kinetochore and maintains this association through early anaphase. It localizes to the spindle midzone and the intracellular bridge in late anaphase and telophase, respectively, and is thought to be subsequently degraded. The localization of this protein suggests that it may play a role in chromosome segregation during mitotis. It is thought to form either a homodimer or heterodimer. Autoantibodies against this protein have been found in patients with cancer or graft versus host disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
