Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ChIP: Use at an assay dependent dilution (PMID 18332116).
Flow Cyt: Use at a concentration of 0.65 µg/ml (PMID 19001505).
ICC: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
ICC/IF: Use at a concentration of 0.65 µg/ml (PMID 19001505).
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: Use at a concentration of 0.2 - 2.0 µg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 37 kDa.
Detects Bmi-1 in RIPA lysates from U2OS cells. U2OS cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with ab14389 0.2ug/ml. Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-mouse IgG labeled with HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
IHC-P: 1/100 (from PubMed:16936260).

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

U2OS whole cell lysate.

Relevance 

The Bmi1 oncogene induces telomerase activity and immortalizes human mammary epithelial cells. Bmi1 extends the replicative life span of human fibroblasts by suppressing the p16-dependent senescence pathway.

Polycomb group (PcG) genes are involved in the maintenance of cellular memory through epigenetic chromatin modifications. Recent studies have implicated a role for PcG genes in the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), a process in which cellular memory is maintained through cell division. Among the PcG genes, Bmi1 plays a central role in the inheritance of stemness, and its forced expression promotes HSC self-renewal. These findings highlight the importance of epigenetic regulation in HSC self-renewal and identify PcG genes as potential targets for therapeutic HSC manipulation. Involved in maintaining the transcriptionally repressive state of genes. Modifies chromatin, rendering it heritably changed in its expressibility.
