Description: p40 (p63 delta) is a marker recently determined to be highly specific for squamous basal cells in the immunohistochemistry (IHC) application. The current more routinely recommended marker, p63, appears to have less specificity compared to p40, especially on squamous cell tumors. The ability to differentiate between lung adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma is difficult and has bearing on the different therapeutic avenues for each subtype treatment. p40 antibody�s ability to distinguish between the tumor types appears to be superior when compared to p63. The ability to utilize a p40 antibody probe as a squamous cell marker bolsters its use for future sub-classification of lung cancers, especially by immunohistochemical techniques.

Immunogen: Amino acids ENNAQTQFSEPQY (aa 5-17) of human p40 / p63 delta were used as the immunogen for this antibody.

Storage: Store the p40 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
