IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Anti-CDKN2A/p16 INK4A antibody was used at 1/1000 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Background
CDKN2A/p16INK4A is a critical tumor suppressor protein encoded by the CDKN2A gene that functions as a key negative regulator of the cell cycle by specifically inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), thereby preventing the phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and arresting cell progression from the G1 to the S phase to curb uncontrolled proliferation. Often referred to as p16, this protein acts as a vital checkpoint against oncogenic transformation, and its loss of function through genetic deletion, mutation, or epigenetic silencing is a hallmark event in numerous human cancers, including melanoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and glioblastoma; conversely, its overexpression is frequently observed in cells undergoing senescence or in HPV-associated malignancies where it serves as a reliable diagnostic biomarker due to the disruption of the Rb pathway by viral oncoproteins, making p16INK4A not only a fundamental component of cellular defense mechanisms but also a significant target for therapeutic strategies and prognostic assessments in oncology.

Immunocytochemistry
ICC shows positive staining in HeLa cells (top panel) and negative staining in MCF7 cells (below panel). Anti-CDKN2A/p16 INK4A antibody was used at 1/250 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. The cells were fixed with 100% ice-cold methanol and permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Counterstain with tubulin (Red).
