AHP1591 recognises the apoptosis related protein designated FLIP (FLICE inhibitory protein).
FLIP interacts with the adaptor protein FADD, and with Caspase-8 (FLICE) and Caspase-10 (FLICE2) to inhibit apoptosis induced by death receptors including CD95, DR3, TRAIL-R and TNFR1.
FLICE inhibitory proteins were initially identified in virus and human and were accordingly designated as v-FLIPs and c-FLIPs. Four spice variants of c-FLIP have been identified and are classified as FLIP alpha, beta, delta and gamma. AHP1591 recognizes human and murine delta and gamma variants but not the alpha or beta, variants.
FLIP is widely expressed in human tissues and a diverse range of cell lines.

It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1591 detects bands of approximately 35kDa and 25kDa in Jurkat cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human FLIP gamma/delta (CT) was raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
