General notes
Apoptosis is related to many diseases and development. The p53 tumor-suppressor protein induces apoptosis through transcriptional activation of several genes. A novel p53 inducible pro-apoptotic gene was identified recently and designated PUMA (for p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) and bbc3 (for Bcl-2 binding component 3) in human and mouse (1-3). PUMA/bbc3 is one of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members including Bax and Noxa, which are also transcriptional targets of p53. The PUMA gene encodes two BH3 domain-containing proteins termed PUMA-a and PUMA-b (1). PUMA proteins bind Bcl-2, localize to the mitochondria, and induce cytochrome c release and apoptosis in response to p53. PUMA may be a direct mediator of p53-induced apoptosis.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-PUMA antibody (ab9645)Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma tissue labeling PUMA with ab9645 at 10 μg/mL. Sections were fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at room temperature. Antigen retrieval was by heat mediation with a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Samples were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4˚C. A goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) at 1/250 was used as secondary. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.
