Description
The JC12 monoclonal antibody was produced by Ms Jacqueline Cordell in the LRF Immunodiagnostics Unit in Oxford. The antibody recognised a nuclear mouse autoantigen that was identified as the forkhead transcription factor FOXP1 by Dr Alison Banham. The FOXP1 gene maps to an important tumour suppressor locus on 3p14.1 and is targeted by recurrent chromosome translocations in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. FOXP1 is widely expressed in normal tissues and its expression is commonly de-regulated in malignancies. Loss of FOXP1 expression has been correlated with a poor prognosis in solid tumours, such as breast cancer. In contrast high level expression of smaller isoforms of the FOXP1 protein identifies high risk patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The JC12 antibody recognises a C-terminal epitope common to most isoforms of both the human and murine FOXP1 proteins.
