Anti-MCM2 Antibody

MCM2 Polyclonal Antibody for Replication and Proliferation Research

MCM2 (Minichromosome Maintenance Complex Component 2) is a nuclear protein that functions as a licensing factor during DNA replication initiation and serves as a widely used marker of actively proliferating cells. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is validated for western blot and immunohistochemistry, giving laboratories flexibility across immunoblotting of cell lysates and chromogenic staining of tissue sections.

Each vial contains 100 µl of antibody, sufficient for multiple staining experiments. With reactivity confirmed against human, mouse, and rat samples, the antibody supports comparative studies in cancer biology, cell cycle analysis, and DNA replication research. The unconjugated format allows pairing with HRP-, biotin-, or fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies for either chromogenic or fluorescence-based detection workflows.

For handling, refrigerate the vial upon arrival, protect from light, and prepare working aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve long-term activity. Researchers investigating S-phase entry, replication origin firing, or tumor cell proliferation will find this polyclonal reagent a reliable choice for tracking MCM2 expression in paraffin-embedded sections, frozen tissues, and prepared lysates.
