Polycomb complex protein BMI-1 is found a canonical self-renewal regulator. Tumor Formation and, more specifically, human colorectal cancer-initiating cells (CIC) are dependent on BMI-1.  Down-regulation of BMI-1 inhibits the ability of colorectal CICs to self-renew, resulting in the abrogation of their tumorigenic potential.  Targeting the BMI-1 self-renewal machinery represents a promising approach to the elimination of many cancer stem (and initiating) cells. 

BIMI-1 antibody detects endogenous levels of total BMI-1, thus a good tool of BMI-1 related cancer study.
