Description
| Description: | Prox1 is a homeobox gene and acts as a master switch for lymphatic endothelial phenotype. Expression of Prox1 in blood endothelial cells induces expression of other lymphatic marker genes. Together with podoplanin, Prox1 can be used to reliably distinguish lymphatic vessels from blood vessels. This rabbit polyclonal antibody against Prox1 works well for immunohistochemistry with formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections (10min boiling in Citrate buffer pH6.0 to retrieve antigen). Therefore, it will be a useful tool to study lymphatic vessel density in and around human tumors. |
