This antibody was used in our study of proteasome inhibitor resistence in multiple myeloma published in Cancer Cell (Leung-Hagesteijn et al, "Xbp1s-negative tumor B cells and pre-plasmablasts mediate therapeutic proteasome inhibitor resistance in multiple myeloma", 2013 Sep 9; 24(3):289-304). The antibody gave excellent results in ICC/IF staining in primary patient bone marrow samples and multiple myeloma cell lines.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample
