MAGE-1 Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb385726
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Recognizes a protein of 42-46kDa, identified as MAGE-1. This mAb does not cross-react with MAGE-2, -3, -4, -6 -9, -10, or -12 protein. Human malignant neoplasms carry rejection antigens that are recognized by the patients' autologous, tumor directed and specific, cytolytic, CD8+ T lymphocyte clones (CTL). The MAGE family of genes codes an important group of antigens. It was identified that melanomas and primary glial brain tumors express common melanoma associated antigens (MAAs). Because MAGE-1 is expressed on a significant proportion of human neoplasms of various histological types (melanoma, brain tumors of glial origin, neuroblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, breast, gastric, colorectal, ovarian, renal cell carcinomas) and not on normal tissues, the encoded antigen may serve as a marker of early detection and target for cancer immunotherapy.
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Species/Host: Mouse
• Isotype: Mouse IgG1, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human, Rat
• Immunogen: Full length human protein was used as the immunogen for this MAGE-1 antibody.
• UniProt ID: P43355
• Tested applications: IHC-P
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application notes: The optimal dilution of the Kappa Light Chain antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Clone Number: MA454
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Hazard Information: This MAGE-1 antibody is available for research use only.
• Note: For research use only
