Sodium azide
Précaution d'utilisation
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.

Antigène
WISP2
(WNT1 Inducible Signaling Pathway Protein 2 (WISP2))
WISP-2 is a member of the connective tissue growth factor/cysteine-rich 61/nephroblastoma overexpressed (nov) (CCN) family and is upregulated in the mouse mammary epithelial cell line C57MG transformed by Wnt-1 and in several non-invasive human breast tumor cell lines. WISP-2 expression is enhanced by important modulators of human breast cancer cell proliferation such as estrogen, progesterone and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in MCF-7 cells. These effects, inhibited by appropriate antagonists, indicate that steroids and growth factor-induced upregulation of WISP-2 may be mediated through receptors. WISP2 gene may be downstream in the WNT1 signaling pathway that is relevant to malignant transformation. Its expression in colon tumors is reduced while the other two WISP members are overexpressed in colon tumors. It is expressed at high levels in bone tissue, and may play an important role in modulating bone turnover.
