SERPINB5 Antibody / MASPIN

• Catalog Number: orb2636020
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Maspin is structurally a serine protease inhibitor (serpin) that was initially isolated from normal human mammary epithelial cells. Serpins are a family of proteins that inhibit Chymotrypsin-like serine proteinases. Serpins control activated proteinases and several are involved in the regulation of cell death. Maspin is found in the extracellular matrix and at the plasma membrane. Maspin has been shown to act at the cell surface to block cell motility and inhibit invasion of breast and prostate cancer cells. Maspin is present in normal mammary epithelial cells but is absent in many tumor cell lines, yet no major structural alterations of the Maspin gene have been identified in tumor cells. Similarly, Maspin is expressed in normal prostate cells and downregulated or absent in prostate tumor cells.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using SERPINB5 antibody (clone SERPINB5/4974). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the SERPINB5/4974 mAb. Z- and S- Score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that a monoclonal antibody (clone MAb) (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary antibody) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If targets on HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-score. S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of a MAb to its intended target. A MAb is considered to specific to its intended target, if the MAb has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if a MAb binds to protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to protein Y with a Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the binding of that MAb to protein X is equal to 29.

IHC staining of FFPE human skin tissue with SERPINB5 antibody (clone SERPINB5/4974). Inset: PBS used in place of primary Ab (secondary Ab negative control). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH9 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA for 20 min and allow to cool before testing.
