Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Schematic representation of the orientation of the TP53 and WRAP53/TCAB1 genes within the genome. B) Representative image of an agarose gel from a TRAP assay performed on OS tumors. SJSA1 serves as a telomerase positive control and buffer alone serves as the negative control. IC; internal PCR control, Telomerase positive; +, Telomerase negative; -. C) Representative TEL-FISH result for SJSA1(negative control) and indicated OS tumors. Arrows indicate cells with ultra bright telomeric foci. D) Representative TP53-IHC result for SJSA1 (expresses mutant TP53) and OS tumors with complete loss of TP53 expression. E) TCAB1-IHC result for SJSA1(positive control) and indicated OS tumors with loss of TCAB1 expression.
Article Snippet: For p53, slides were steamed in pH6.0 citrate-based unmasking solution (Cat# H-3300, Vector Laboratories) for 30 min, blocked with ReadyProbes Endogenous HRP and AP Blocking Solution (Invitrogen, #R37629) and Protein Block (#ab64226, abcam), then were incubated overnight at 4C in mouse monoclonal primary antibody against p53 (1:50 dilution, Cat# sc-126, Santa Cruz Biotechnology).
