- Clinical Significance:
- This rabbit monoclonal antibody recognizes a protein of 36 kDa, identified as Cyclin D1 antibody (also known as Bcl-1 or PRAD-1). Cyclin D1 antibody is a regulatory subunit of certain protein kinases thought to advance the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Cyclin D1, when used in tandem with CD5, CD10 and CD23 may aid in the diagnosis for mantle cell lymphoma. Studies show that Cyclin D1 is also expressed in hairy cell leukemia, in a subtype of myeloma, and in many types of carcinoma, Spitz nevus and melanoma.
