HAP1 MSI-2 KO cells (negative cell line, panel A) (Horizon Cat. No. HZGHC006122c011) and HAP1 WT cells (positive cell line, panel B) (Horizon Cat. No. C631) were fixed with 4% PFA Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801), permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100, and blocked with 5% FBS. Cells were then stained with Purified anti-Musashi-2 (clone W23272C), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). The images were captured on a Revvity Operetta CLS™ High Content Analysis System with a 63X objective and merged. Scale bar: 50 µm

Description

Musashi-2 (MSI2) is a highly conserved RNA-binding protein that plays a critical role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, particularly in stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and proliferation. Musashi-2 is essential for normal hematopoiesis and neural development, where it regulates the translation of mRNAs involved in cell cycle and developmental pathways. Dysregulation has been implicated in a variety of cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and MLL-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), where MSI2 supports leukemic stem cell survival and contributes to therapy resistance. Musashi-2 also promotes tumor progression in solid malignancies like pancreatic cancer, by modulating pathways such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Elevated Musashi-2 expression is frequently associated with poor prognosis, increased metastasis, and resistance to conventional therapies.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.25 - 10.0 μg/mL is recommended. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.25 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Additional Product Notes

For use of this antibody in intracellular flow cytometry (ICFC), we recommend fixation and permeabilization using True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (Cat. No. 425401). Similar results were also obtained using True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer set (Cat. No. 424401) or Cyto-Fast™ Fix-Perm Buffer set (Cat. No. 426803).

For use of this antibody in immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (IHC-P), we recommend antigen retrieval using either Citrate Buffer (Cat. No. 420902), or Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 Antigen Retrieval Buffer (Cat. No. 422704).
