Additional info: OPAL1 (outcome predictor in acute leukemia 1) is an almost uncharacterized transmembrane adaptor protein expressed mainly by megacaryocytes and platelets. Its expression is enhanced on TEL/AML leukemic cells. The function of OPAL1 is unknown, although the presence of a cytochrome c-like heme-binding site and a transmembrane domain suggested OPAL1 may be involved in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Its originally reported prognostic impact appears to be treatment dependent.SpecificityThe antibody WA-1 reacts with p21 protein (Waf1, Cip1, SDI 1; intracellular antigen), a 21 kDa tumour suppressor, which inhibits the activity of cyclin-dependent family kinases and of proliferating cell nuclear antigen.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 µg/ml, intracellular staining.
