Podoplanin is a transmembrane mucoprotein specifically expressed in the endothelium of lymphatic capillaries, while remaining absent from the blood vasculature. The protein is co-localized with VEGFR3/FLT4 in normal skin and kidney. Anti-Podoplanin is useful in the identification of lymphangiomas, Kaposi's sarcomas, epithelioid mesotheliomas, hemangioblastomas, seminomas, and some angiosarcomas that likely have lymphatic differentiation.
p57<sup>Kip2</sup>, also known as p57, is a tumour suppressor protein that causes cell cycle arrest at G1 by binding to G1 cyclin-CDK complexes. The p57<sup>Kip2</sup> gene is a potential tumour suppressor target as the gene is located in a chromosomal region implicated in sporadic cancers, Wilms' tumour, and Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome. Anti-p57<sup>Kip2</sup> labels many cytotrophoblast nuclei and stromal cells in normal placenta, and is useful in differentiating between complete hydatidiform mole and partial hydatidiform mole or hydropic abortion.
Programmed Death 1 (PD-1) is a member of the CD28/CTLA-4 family of T-cell regulators, expressed as a co-receptor on the surface of activated T-cells, B-cells, and macrophages. New studies have suggested that the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway may be linked to anti-tumour immunity, as PD-L1 has been shown to induce apoptosis of activated T-cells or inhibit activity of cytotoxic T-cells. In comparison to CD10 and Bcl-6, PD-1 is expressed by fewer B-cells and has therefore been considered a more specific and useful diagnostic marker for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Therapies targeted toward the PD-1 receptor have shown remarkable clinical responses in patients with various types of cancer, including non-small-cell lung cancer, melanoma, and renal-cell cancer.
The p16 (p16<sup>INK4A</sup>) protein is a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor that plays an important regulatory role in the cell cycle. By controlling the transition between the G1 and S phases through regulation of retinoblastoma protein, p16 decelerates cellular differentiation and therefore acts as a tumor suppressor, making it the key marker in several human cancers including head and neck cancer, perianal lesions, melanomas, gliomas, lymphomas, and some types of leukemia. p16 is also clinically indicated in carcinomas of the esophagus, pancreas, lung, biliary tract, liver, colon, and urinary bladder.

p504s, also known as ?-Methylacyl Coenzyme A Racemase (AMACR), is an enzyme localized in the peroxisome and mitochondria that functions in ?-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids, as well as bile synthesis. AMACR has been clinically indicated as a tissue biomarker for prostate cancer and colorectal cancer, as well as high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, a precursor lesion of prostate cancer. p504s overexpression has also been detected in a number of other cancers including ovarian, breast, bladder, lung, and renal cell carcinomas, lymphoma, and melanoma.
Anti-p40 recognizes squamous and basal cells, the shortest variant of p53, and ΔNp63 (an isoform of p63). p40 has been indicated as an alternative to p63 for the detection of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SqCC), offering the advantage of eliminating potential misinterpretation of a positive adenocarcinoma as a SqCC.

Neuron-Specific Enolase (NSE), also known as Enolase 2 (ENO2), is one of three enolase enzymes found in mammals, and acts as a phosphopyruvate hydratase. This mammalian glycolytic isoenzyme is located specifically in neurons of neuroendocrine cells, as well as tumours associated with those neurons. However, it has also been detected immunohistochemically in non-neoplastic cells of the pituitary, peptide-secreting tissues, pinealocytes, neuroendocrine cells of the lung, thyroid, parafollicular cells, adrenal medulla, islets of Langerhans, Merkel cells of the skin, and melanocytes. NSE is a useful marker for identifying normal striated muscle, hepatocytes, and peripheral nerves. Anti-NSE may detect for neuroendocrine differentiation, only when used in a panel of antibodies including more specific markers such as synaptophysin, chromogranin, and neurofilament.
OX40 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, which regulates T cell activity and immune response. OX40 is mainly activated by CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. It is expressed on cells, while OX40 ligands (OX40L, TNFSF4, CD252) are mainly expressed on activated antigen-presenting cells. Research shows that OX40 pathway is related to inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Other studies have shown that OX40 agonists can enhance the anti-tumor immunity of several cancer types.

p27, also known as p27<sup>Kip1</sup>, is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that binds to and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases, thereby regulating progression from G1 to S phase. Decreased expression of p27 is linked to poor prognosis in renal-cell carcinoma, colon carcinoma, small breast carcinomas, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, multiple myeloma, lymph node metastases in papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, and is associated with a more aggressive phenotype of carcinoma in the cervix.

p53, also known as Tumour Protein 53 or TP53, is a tumour suppressor and transcription factor that functions in a number of anti-cancer activities including DNA repair, cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis in response to DNA damage or other stressors. Mutations in p53 are linked to a number of malignant tumours, including those of the breast, ovary, bladder, colon, lung, and melanoma. Anti-p53 staining has been used to detect intratubular germ cell neoplasia, and also to distinguish between uterine serous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma.
Postmeiotic Segregation Increased 2 (PMS2) is a DNA repair protein involved in mismatch repair. Mutations and deficiencies in the PMS2 gene have been linked to microsatellite instability and malignancies such as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer. Expression levels of the PMS2 protein may be useful as a screening tool for Lynch syndrome after a colorectal cancer diagnosis. Anti-PMS2 is recommended to be used as part of a panel along with antibodies against MSH2, MSH6, and MLH1.
PAX8 is expressed in simple ovarian inclusion cysts and non-ciliated mucosal cells of the fallopian tubes, but is absent from normal ovarian surface epithelial cells. Mutations in the PAX8 gene are linked to thyroid follicular carcinomas, atypical thyroid adenomas, and thyroid dysgenesis. Reports have associated PAX8 expression with renal carcinoma, nephroblastoma, and seminoma, and have indicated PAX8 as a useful marker for renal epithelial tumours, ovarian cancer, and for differential diagnoses in lung and neck tumours. Anti-PAX8 can be useful in determining the primary site of invasive micropapillary carcinomas of ovary from bladder, lung, and breast, when used in adjunct with a panel of organ-specific markers such as uroplakin, mammaglobin, and TTF-1.

Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1), CD274, or B7 Homolog 1 (B7-H1), is a transmembrane protein involved in suppressing the immune system and rendering tumour cells resistant to lysis through binding of the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptor. Overexpression of PD-L1 may allow cancer cells to evade the actions of the host immune system. In renal cell carcinoma, upregulation of PD-L1 has been linked to increased tumour aggressiveness and risk of death. When considered in adjunct with CD8+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte density, expression levels of PD-L1 may be a useful predictor of multiple cancer types, including stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, hormone receptor negative breast cancer, and sentinel lymph node melanoma.

p120 Catenin is a nucleolar protein belonging to the armadillo protein family, which is involved in cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. p120 Catenin is associated with proliferation, and is found in the majority of human malignant tumours, while remaining absent from resting normal cells. Anti-p120 Catenin is useful in differentiating between ductal and lobular neoplasia in the breast, and strong staining with Anti-p120 Catenin is associated with discohesive infiltrative morphology in gastric and colonic carcinoma. Accumulation of p120 Catenin in the cytoplasm has been linked to lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer, and is correlated to poor prognosis in colon cancer.

PAX5 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors, which are key regulators in early development. The PAX5 gene encodes the B-cell lineage specific activator protein (BSAP), whose expression is limited to early stages of B-cell differentiation. Anti-PAX5 is useful in differentiating between classic Hodgkin's lymphoma versus multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma, as the protein is expressed in mature and precursor B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas/leukemias while being absent from the other two conditions. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas are positive for PAX5, with the exception of those with terminal B-cell differentiation, and T-cell neoplasms do not stain with Anti-PAX5.
p63 is a tumour suppressor protein that is very similar to p53 in structure and function, while being homologous to p73. p63 is important in development and differentiation, and has been identified as a useful marker for distinguishing between lung squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas. Anti-p63 is also used to differentiate between benign and malignant prostate and breast lesions, due to its labeling of the nuclei of myoepithelial cells in both tissue types.
Perforin, a pore-forming protein found in the granules of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells, functions to enable granzymes to enter the target cells and activate apoptosis. Perforin expression is upregulated in activated CD8+ T-cells, and these cells have been identified to have a major influence in Th1-associated inflammatory skin diseases. It has been suggested that perforin plays a role in alloimmunity, being involved in both the cytolytic process of rejection as well as downregulation of the T-cell mediated responses associated with the alloimmune response. Perforin-mediated cytotoxicity has also been linked to a number of autoimmune diseases.

Octamer-Binding Transcription Factor 4 (Oct-4), also known as POU5F1 (POU Domain, Class 5, Transcription Factor 1), is a member of the POU homeodomain family of transcription factors and is involved in the maintenance and regulation of pluripotency in embryonic stem and germ cells. Anti-Oct-4 is highly useful and sensitive for seminomas, germinoma, dysgerminoma, embryonal carcinoma, and gonadoblastoma. Oct-4 may be associated with tumourigenesis, and can have an effect on some aspects of tumour behavior, including tumour recurrence or resistance to therapies.

MAPKs are involved in directing cellular responses to a diverse array of potentially harmful stimuli, such as mitogens, osmotic stress, heat shock, proinflammatory cytokines, but also growth factors (mammals). Possibly located exclusively in the cell nucleus, they regulate cell functions including proliferation, gene expression, differentiation, mitosis, cell survival, and apoptosis. In order to become active, they require usually multiple phosphorylation events in their activation loops, including phosphorylation by MAP2 kinases (Ste-7 kinases), which in turn are phosphorylated by the MAP3 kinase family, of which many are located at the cell membrane. Thus through this pathway, stimuli can effectively be conveyed from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Inactivation of MAPKs takes place by several phosphorylases, including dedicated phophorylases.
EBS-T-059 recognizes an oncofetal antigen of 220kDa, identified as a tumor-associated glycoprotein (TAG72) with properties of a mucin and usually expressed by adenocarcinomas, but not by mesotheliomas and thus helps in the differential diagnosis of malignancies of the lung. The combined use of anti-TAG-72 and anti-GCDFP-15 is valuable in the diagnosis of apocrine carcinoma. TAG72 is further used as serum marker for gastric cancer.
Bp53-12 reacts with an N-terminal epitope (aa 16-25) of both wild-type and mutated p53. This epitope is revealed in tissue sections only after formalin fixation. Mutation and/or allelic loss of p53 is one of the causes of a variety of mesenchymal and epithelial tumors. p53 Localizes in the nucleus, but is detectable at the plasma membrane during mitosis and when certain mutations modulate cytoplasmic/nuclear distribution.

Detecting a single protein band of 14 kDa in Western blots of lysates of human monocytes and granulocytes, the antigen was identified as the calcium-binding protein MRP14, which is a member of the S100 family involved a.o. in regulating the cell cycle. MRP14 is also implicated in the abnormal differentiation of myeloid cells in the stroma of cancer. It is further found on squamous mucosal epithelia. When associated with MRP8 it forms the heterodimer calprotectin.

EBS-T-007 reacts with paracaspase MALT1, crucial for B- and T-cell activation/proliferation and activation of transcription factor NF-?B. It has an N-terminal death domain, two central immunoglobulin-like domains involved in the binding to the B-cell lymphoma 10 (BCL10) protein and a caspase-like domain. MALT1 and BCL10, can both be found translocated in MALT lymphoma. In such cases either BCL10 or MALT1 or both are highly expressed, depending on the site of translocation. Normal cells and MALT lymphomas lacking translocations exhibit much lower levels of expression.
EBS-T-006 reacts with MADER or Melanoma-Associated Delayed Early Response protein, encoded by the NAB2 gene, belonging to the family of NGFI-A binding proteins. They modulate transcription induced by some members of the EGR (early growth response) family of transactivators. NAB proteins can form homo- or hetero-multimers with other EGR or NAB proteins through a conserved N-terminal domain, and repress transcription through two partially redundant C-terminal domains.

EBS-C-003 recognizes Ku protein or XRCC5/6 (X-ray repair cross complementing protein 5/6), involved in Pol II-directed transcription by virtue of its DNA binding activity, serving as the regulatory component of the DNA-associated protein kinase that phosphorylates Pol II and transcription factor Sp. Ku proteins also activate transcription from the U1 small nuclear RNA and the human transferrin receptor gene promoters. It serves as autoantigen in patients with rheumatic diseases.
MFG-06 reacts with a glycoprotein of 40-45 kDa, known as Milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (MFG-E8), lactadherin, p47 or milk fat globule 1 antigen. It is present on normal epithelial cells in various organs and considered a differentiation marker in carcinomas. It contains one EGF-like domain and 2 F5/8 type C domains. Functioning as a specific ligand for Integrin ?5 and Integrin ?3, MFG-E8 is thought to be involved in gamete interactions and cell attachment, possibly playing a role in fertilization and apoptosis. Additionally, MFG-E8 binds to rotavirus and inhibits its replication, thereby protecting the cell from viral infection. Overexpression of MFG-E8 is associated with breast cancer, suggesting that MFG-E8 may be related to tumorigenesis or progression. Among testicular carcinomas, seminomas are negative.
IPO-38 reacts with a 12-14 kDa protein, as found in Western blots of Raji cells, and appears in the mitotic cycle earlier than Ki-67. Lymphocytes, induced to early G1 phase by 12h exposure to PHA, will become positive while non-stimulated lymphocytes remain negative. Mononuclear cells and granulocytes of healthy donors are negative, while various forms of leukemia and lymphoma including Hodgkins disease are positive for IPO-38, as are many solid tumors such as some breast, gastric and colonic cancers for which it may serve as tumor progression marker.

7B6 reacts with CRASH, a 308 AA glycoprotein sharing 32% homology with human asparaginase and identical to Asparaginase-Like Protein (ALP) found in rat sperm. CRASH is found in a variety of tumors but only occasionally in normal tissues. Especially ovarian cancers are highly positive. CRASH is further found in brain tumors, some colonic cancers, some lung cancers, some prostate cancers, uterine cancers, some breast cancers and some thyroid cancers. It was not found in serum. In Western blot 3 bands are demonstrated of 45 kDa, 28 kDa and 15 kDa.

4D11 reacts with CRASH, a 308 AA glycoprotein, sharing 32% homology with human asparaginase and identical to Asparaginase-Like Protein (ALP) found in rat sperm. CRASH is found in a variety of tumors but only occasionally in normal tissues. Especially ovarian cancers are highly positive. CRASH is further found in brain tumors, some colonic cancers, some lung cancers, some prostate cancers, uterine cancers, some breast cancers and some thyroid cancers. It was not found in serum. In Western blot 3 bands are demonstrated of 45 kDa, 28 kDa and 15 kDa.

121SLE reacts with CA19-9 (>400 kDa) or sialyl Lea structure, which is synthesized from type 1 blood group precursor chains and is present in individuals expressing the Lea and/or Leb blood group antigens. 121SLE also binds to some extend to the afuco version of SLe a (LSTa; CA50). In normal tissues, CA19-9 is present in ductal epithelium of the breast, kidney, salivary, gland and sweat glands. Its expression is greatly enhanced in serum as well as in the majority of tumor cells in gastrointestinal (GI) carcinomas, including adenocarcinomas of the stomach, intestine and pancreas. 121SLE was typed in the ISOBM TD-6 workshop.

EBP-333 reacts with C/EBP? or CCAAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta, a transcription factor which is not only critical for normal macrophage functioning and differentiation, but affects a variety of other factors as well, such as cytokines (IL-6; IL-4; IL-5 and TNF-alpha), neurotransmitters and other neuronal factors and processes like muscle repair and the development of multi drug resistance in tumors (P-glycoprotein). Observations have implied that manipulation of the transcription factors involved may make it possible to modulate multidrug resistance, while leaving normal function of P-glycoprotein intact.

MoBU-1 is reactive with cells containing incorporated 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) showing a clear, nucleus confined, speckled pattern. BrdU is an analogue of thymidine and can be introduced to proliferating cells in vitro or in vivo, which in turn incorporate BrdU into the DNA during S phase, prior to cell division. Immunocytochemical staining with MoBU-1 will show the degree of proliferation, detecting nucleated cells which have incorporated BrdU in place of thymidine into their DNA.

BLA36 is a developmentally regulated 36 kDa antigen expressed on the plasma membrane of B lymphocytes, Reed-Sternberg, and mononuclear Hodgkins cells. It also gives strong staining of B cell lymphomas including follicular center cell lymphomas (large and small cell types), mantle zone lymphomas, and immunoblastic lymphomas.
EBS-T-001 reacts with BCL10. Having an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD), BCL10 can induce apoptosis and activate NF-?B. It is found on subpopulations of normal B and T cells, and is associated with MALT1, a paracaspase that, like BCL10, can be found translocated in MALT lymphoma. In such cases either BCL10 or MALT1 or both are highly expressed, depending on the site of translocation. MALT lymphomas lacking this translocation exhibit much lower levels of expression. BCL10 has been shown to be functionally conserved all the way back to zebrafish

Membrane fusion is mediated by envelope glycoproteins for enveloped viruses like herpes simplex. Four of at least 10 viral glycoproteins are necessary and sufficient to facilitate fusion of herpes simplex to target cells. These four glycoproteins include glycoprotein B (gB), glycoprotein D (gD), glycoprotein H (gH) and glycoprotein L (gL). Fusion is dependent upon the expression of a gD receptor on target cell membranes.postive: HSV-1, Negative HSV-2.

Giardiasisis a diarrheal illness caused by a single celled microscopic protozoan parasite, Giardia lamblia, also known as Giardia intestinalis. Giardia lamblia exists in two forms, an active form called a trophozoite, and an inactive form called a cyst. The active trophozoite attaches to the lining of the small intestine and is responsible for causing the signs and symptoms of giardiasis. The trophozoite cannot live long outside of the body and spread of infection is via the cyst, which is excreted in the host's feces. When it is ingested, stomach acid activates the cyst, and the cyst develops into the disease causing trophozoite in the new host. Giardiasis is diagnosed by finding cysts or trophozoites in the feces.

Ten to forty percent of the patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) develop cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. In some patients with AIDS, CMV is detected in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), urine, and other specimens, even when there are no symptoms of CMV disease. An indicator of active CMV infection is needed to facilitate the diagnosis of CMV disease in patients with AIDS or HIV infection.

EBS-I-100 reacts with C. difficile Toxin A, but not with V. cholerae subunit a, V. cholerae toxin, Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A, H-LT, P-LT. C. difficile is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes antibiotic-associated colitis and mediates inflammatory diarrhea by releasing two large protein enterotoxins (toxin A and toxin B) that are able to disrupt intestinal epithelial cells via their transferase activity and ability to monoglucosylate members of the Rho family. C. difficile toxin A is a toxin that is composed of 39 repeats that are responsible for binding to intestinal epithelial cell surface carbohydrates. C. difficile toxin A causes significant apoptosis of colonocytes which contributes to the formation of ulcers and pseudo-membranes in a pathway that involves p38-dependent activation of p53 and induction of p21, leading to cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation through Bak activation.

The CD74 cluster, established during the IVth and Vth Leukocyte Typing Workshops, comprises four species of proteins (MW 41/35/33 kDa), all coded by a single gene, consisting of nine exons. CD74 is expressed primarily by antigen presenting cells, such as B-lymphocytes (from before the pre-B cell stage to before the plasma cell stage), macrophages, and monocytes, and many epithelial cells. In tissue sections anti-CD74 show a binding pattern very similar to that of anti-HLA-DR. It binds to the peptide binding groove of newly synthesized MHC class II alpha/beta heterodimers and prevents their premature association with endogenous polypeptides. EBS-CD-041 epitope is localized in the extracellular domain of CD74.

EP-4 recognizes the HLA-B27 cell surface antigen on human cells. HLA-B27 has been found to be highly associated (60%) with ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev's disease, MarieStrümpell disease or "bamboo spine"). While rheumatoid factor tests will be negative, testing for the presence of HLA-B27 in a patient can confirm the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis. Also postgonococcal arthritis and acute anterior uveitis are associated with HLA-B27.

EBS-IF-001 Does not react with keratin polypeptides in immunoblotting. The specificity for keratin was established on the basis of antibody reactivity with intracytoplasmic intermediate filaments in epithelial, vimentin negative, human and feline cells. Distribution of the epitope strongly suggests that EBS-IF-001 reacts with keratins 5 and 14, most probably with a heterotypic complex formed by these keratins. EBS-IF-001 reacts positively with basal cells of all stratified epithelia, with myoepithelial cells and with most squamous cell carcinomas. It is useful in immunohistochemistry for typing of basal cells.

EBS-huA recognizes the third constant domain (CH3) of the alpha chain of human IgA and reacts with both IgA1 and IgA2 isotypes and not with other types of immunoglobulins. IgA type antibodies are secreted by B-cells associated with mucosal epithelia and therefore indicate malignancy if found in lymphoid infiltrates at other locations. Detection of IgA antibodies to EBV in serum may indicate nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Rising IgA anti EBV levels are associated with progression of disease.

VEGF-21 reacts with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, also known as Vascular Permeability Factor (VEGF/ VPF) and is the key mediator of angiogenesis. The MWs are 19- 22kDa (reducing) and 38kDa-44kDa (non-reducing). There are multiple isoforms of VEGF containing 206-, 189-, 165-, and 121-amino acid residues. The smaller two isoforms, VEGF165 and VEGF121, are secreted proteins and act as diffusible agents, whereas the larger two remain cell associated. VEGF/VPF plays an important role in angiogenesis, which promotes tumor progression and metastasis. In addition to endothelial cells, VEGF and VEGF receptors are expressed on numerous non-endothelial cells including tumor cells.

UACA (Uveal Autoantigen with Coiled-coil domains and Ankyrin repeats) is a 1,416 amino acid nuclear membrane protein. It was originally identified as an autoantigen in patients with panuveitis, a characteristic of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, and in patients with Graves' disease. UACA was also later identified as Nucling, a mRNA differentially expressed in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells, and that is up-regulated during cardiac muscle differentiation. UACA appears to function as a pro-apoptotic protein that recruits the apaf-1- pro-caspase-9 complex for the induction of apoptosis to mediate the cell-death pathway.

Until recently, immunological markers for myeloid cells have been lacking, especially those which identify different levels of cellular differentiation. The BM series provides a new panel of monoclonal antibodies which stain early precursor and mature forms of human myeloid cells. This panel of monoclonal antibodies reacts with antigenic determinants present in normal myeloid cells and leukemias of similar derivation. BM-2 recognizes a cytoplasmic antigen expressed in mature human granulocytes (polys) residing in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. It does not react with any other cell type in human tissues.

A-493 react with adiponectin, an adipocytokine. Adipocytokines are hormones produced in adipose tissue. Adiponectin is abundantly present in plasma and has insulin like effect on glucose levels in the blood. Plasma adiponectin levels are low in insulin resistant patients who are obese, have diabetes mellitus type 2 or HIV-lipodystrophy. In women adiponectin levels tend to be higher than men, which may be due to androgens suppressing adiponectin levels. Furthermore adiponectin and leptin are both indicated in regulating body weight through direct action on the hypothalamus, influencing appetite. Obese people have low adiponectin levels while levels in anorexia patients are high. Adiponectin acts as ligand for various receptors, two of which have been identified, one probably involved in carbohydrate assimilation, the other in tuning the rate of metabolism.

1011 Is specific for the major vault protein, a 104-kDa highly conserved protein interacting with estrogen receptor. It is one of a series of four mAbs which recognize different epitopes of the protein. Major vault proteins have a complex morphology, including several small molecules of RNA, but a single protein species. The MVP accounts for >70% of their mass. Their shape is reminiscent of the nucleopore central plug. Treatment of cells with estradiol increases the amount of MVP in nuclear extract. The hormone-dependent interaction of vaults with ER is prevented in vitro by sodium molybdate. Antibodies to estrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors are able to co-immunoprecipitate the MVP. MVP is overexpressed in many neoplastic tissues and cell lines.

Integrin ?M (also designated complement component receptor 3 ?-chain; CD11b (p170); macrophage antigen ? polypeptide; cell surface glycoprotein Mac-1 ?-subunit; CR3 ?-chain; MAC1A; MO1A and ITGAM) is a cell adhesion molecule that acts as a receptor for cell surface ligands such as intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) or soluble ligands. Integrins are heterodimeric proteins that contain an ?-chain and a ?-chain. Integrin ?M combines with Integrin ?2 (CD18) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as macrophage receptor-1 (Mac-1) or inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 3 (CR3). Integrin ?M-?2 is important in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium, and also in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles.

Integrin ?X (CD11c, leukocyte surface antigen p150/95, CR4, Axb2) is a type 1 transmembrane protein that traditionally combines with ?2 chain to form a leukocyte-specific integrin known as inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 4 (CR4). Integrin ?X/?2 shares similar properties of the Integrin ?M/?2 in mediating adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelial cells and in phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Abnormal expression of Integrin ?X is characteristic of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and is dependent upon activation of proto-oncogenes Ras and JunD. Integrin ?x is present on dendritic cells, macrophages and NK-cells. Upon activation, DCs present in skin (Langerhans cells_, lining of nose, lung, stomach, intestine and blood can migrate to lymphoid tissues and interact with T and B-cells to initiate and shape the immune response.

EBS-CD-12 recognizes an extracellular epitope on an integral membrane glycoprotein of 150 kDa, identified as CD13 (also known as aminopeptidase-N). CD13 is present on most cells of myeloid origin including granulocytes, monocytes, mast cells, and GM-progenitor cells. It is also expressed by the majority of AML, CML in myeloid blast crisis, and in a smaller fraction of lymphoid leukemias. CD13 is also present on fibroblasts; endothelial cells, epithelial cells from renal proximal tubules and intestinal brush border, bone marrow stromal cells, osteoclasts, and cells lining bile duct canaliculi. CD13 plays a role in metabolism of biologically active peptides, in phagocytosis, and in bactericidal/tumoricidal activities. It also serves as a receptor for human coronaviruses (hCoV) and human cytomegalovirus (hCMV).

CDw17 is an intermediate glycosphingolipid from the metabolism of higher gangliosides that localizes to sphingolipid-sterol rafts. CDw17 is found on monocytes, granulocytes, basophils, platelets, a subset of peripheral B-cells (CD19+) and tonsil dendritic cells. It is rapidly down regulated on activated granulocytes and is upregulated on IL-2 activated T-lymphocytes. CDw17 binds to bacteria and may function in phagocytosis. It may also be involved in angiogenesis. Aberrant levels of glycosphingolipids are a feature of cancer cells and may influence integrin clustering and internalization.

CB19 is specific for the antigen CD19. This antigen has a MW of 120 kDa and contains a 280 residue extracellular domain and a 240 residue cytoplasmic domain. It is a critical signal transduction molecule that regulates B-lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation. It plays a dominant role in establishing signalling thresholds for antigen receptors and other surface receptors on B-lymphocytes. This antigen is lost upon terminal differentiation to plasma cells.
RIV12 reacts with CD1b, a 44KDa type 1 glycoprotein associated with beta2-microglobulin. It is expressed on dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, thymocytes and T acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. CD1, type 1 membrane protein, has structural similarity to the MHC class 1 molecule and has been shown to present lipid antigens for recognition by T lymphocytes. CD1b is also expressed in Langerhans interdigitating cells.
CD2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on peripheral blood T lymphocytes, NK cells and thymocytes. Interaction between CD2 and its counter receptor LFA3 (CD58) on opposing cells optimizes immune system recognition, thereby facilitating communication between helper T lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells, as well as between cytolytic effectors and target cells. EBSCD-003 reacts with human T-cells, leukemic T-cells and T-cell lines. EBS-CD-003 also reacts with some, if not all, E-RFC-receptors on K and NK cells.

FR5A10 reacts with CD21, a 140 kDa cell surface molecule which acts as a receptor for EBV, for human complement factor C3d (CR2) and for IFN-alpha. It is a glycoprotein, made up of multiple (n=15) Short Consensus Repeats (S.C.R.) sequences. FR5A10 has been assigned to (S.C.R.) sequences. FR5A10 has been assigned to S.C.R. numbers 5-8. FR5A10 is highly specific to CR2 and shows no cross-reaction with CR1. CD21 is expressed strongly on mature B-cells, follicular dendritic cells and weakly on immature thymocytes and T-lymphocytes. In B-cell ontogeny, CD21 appears after the preB-stage, is maintained during peripheral B-cell development and is lost upon terminal differentiation into plasma cells. CD21 expression is also gradually lost after stimulation of B-cells in vitro.

EBS-CD-017 reacts with CD25 (55 kDa) which associates as alpha chain with CD122 and the common gamma chain (CD132) to form the high-affinity IL-2 receptor complex. With respect to lymphomas, CD25 is present on malignant cells of Hodgkins disease, HTLV-1+ adult T-cell leukemia, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia. Increased levels of soluble CD25 are observed in leukemias/lymphomas and inflammatory/ autoimmune diseases. CD25 alone appears to function as a low affinity receptor and associates with CD122 (IL-2R chain, p75) and CD132 (common chain) to form the high affinity IL-2 receptor complex. CD25 antibodies detect three epitope regions, A, B and C. EBS-CD-017 recognizes B epitope, which is located at residue 3-104 of CD25 and does not block IL-2 binding to CD25. CD25 antibodies have been used successfully as a carrier for cytotoxic drugs enabling specific delivery to IL-2RA displaying target cells.

CD33 is a 67 kDa glycoprotein of the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (SIGLEC) family, displaying the immune-receptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), able of recruiting protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 to signal assemblies. ITIMs are also used for ubiquitinmediated removal of the receptor from the cell surface. CD33 is expressed on cells of myelomonocytic lineage, binds sialic acid residues in N- and O-glycans on cell surfaces, and is a therapeutic target for acute myeloid leukemia. CD33 is expressed on myeloid progenitors, monocytes, granulocytes, dendritic cells and mast cells. It is absent on platelets, lymphocytes, erythrocytes and hematopoietic stem cells.

EBS-CD-025 reacts with a 45 kDa glycopeptide which is a type II membrane glycoprotein with a transmembrane sequence near the regulation of lymphocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. Its ligand is CD31. CD38 is found on early cells of B and T lineages and on activated B- and tcells. It is not found on most mature resting peripheral lymphocytes. Also positive are thymus cells and Ig secreting plasma cells. The CD34+ and CD38- population of hematopoietic stems cells defines the most pluripotent cells (e.g. blast colony forming cells). EBS-CD-025 antibody blocks the EBS-CD-026 epitope, and vice versa.
EDU-2 reacts with human CD4, a 55 kDa single chain transmembrane glycoprotein that contains four extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains and is mainly expressed on T-helper lymphocytes, but also on cortical thymus cells, microglial and dendritic cells. It binds to HLA class II molecules during the interaction of CD4+ T cells with antigen-presenting cells or target cells. CD4 also serves as the primary cellular receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). EDU-2 was assigned to CD4 at the International Leucocyte Typing Workshops II and IV.

84-3C1 reacts with a 95/115 kDa protein on T-cells and thymocytes and a 115/135 kDa molecule on neutrophils and platelets. 70-90% of T-cell lymphomas and from 22-37% of Bcell lymphomas express CD43. No reactivity has been observed with reactive B-cells. So a Blineage population that co-expresses CD43 is highly likely to be a malignant lymphoma, especially a low-grade lymphoma, rather than a reactive B-cell population. When CD43 antibody is used in combination with anti-CD20, effective immunophenotyping of the lymphomas in formalin-fixed tissues can be obtained. Co-staining of a lymphoid infiltrate with anti-CD20 and anti-CD43 argues against a reactive process and favors a diagnosis of lymphoma. In addition, expression is altered in Wiskott Aldrich syndrome. A proportion of AIDS patients have antibodies to CD43. A soluble form called galactoglycoprotein is present in serum. 85-3C1 was typed at the 3rd International Workshop on Human Leucocyte Differentiation antigens.

It is involved in haematopoiesis, lymphocyte homing and activation, and tumor metastasis. It binds to fibrin, hyaluronate and other matrix proteins. On tumors CD44H is highly expressed, suggesting an important role in progression for this isoform. CD44 also forms the protein backbone of the human erythrocyte Lutheran antigen system.

EBS-CD-028 reacts with CD46 or Membrane Cofactor Protein (MCP; 52-74 kDa) All nucleated human cells carry CD46, which has multiple common protein isoforms of 52 kDa to 66 kDa, and 74 kDa on placental cells and some transformed cells. CD46 acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease, which protects autologous cell against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. It may further be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. CD46 acts as a co-stimulatory factor for T-cells, which induces the differentiation of CD4+ into T-regulatory 1 cells. T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity. A number of viral and bacterial pathogens seem to exploit this property and directly induce an immunosuppressive phenotype in T-cells by binding to CD46.

F4-31C2 reacts with CD54 or ICAM1 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1). ICAM1 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, C2 subset, is a transmembrane molecule of 90 kDa with 7 potential N-glycosylation sites. It is expressed on resting monocytes and endothelial cells and in response to inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL1 and IFN-gamma, can be highly upregulated on many other cells, e.g. on B- and T-lymphocytes, thymocytes, dendritic cells and also on keratinocytes, chondrocytes, as well as epithelial cells. CD54 mediates cell adhesion by binding to integrin CD11a/CD18 (LFA 1) and to CD1b/CD18 (Mac 1). The interaction of CD54 with LFA 1 enhances antigen specific T-cell activation. CD54 also binds to CD43, fibrinogen, most human rhinoviruses and to Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes. ICAM1 may also be related to progression and metastasis of tumors.

CD59, or protectin, is a 18-22 kDa cell surface molecule on an GPI anchor. It regulates complementmediated cell lysis and is supposed to protect normal and tumor cells from cytotoxic attack by homologous complement through binding to C8 and C9. CD59 is expressed on leucocytes, vascular epithelium, a variety of epithelial cells and placenta. B-cell express low levels. The expression of CD59 on erythrocytes is important for their survival. Genetic defects in GPI-anchor attachment, that cause a reduction or loss of CD59 and CD55 on erythrocytes produce the symptoms of the disease Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). 193-27 Was typed at the VIth International Workshop on human leucocyte differentiation antigens.

CB-30 reacts with CD66e or CEA with MW of 80-200 kDa. CEA is present in fetal gut and is re-expressed in increased amounts in intestinal carcinomas and several other tumors. CEA is not found in benign glands, stroma, or malignant prostatic cells. Antibody to CEA is useful in detecting early foci of gastric carcinoma and in distinguishing pulmonary adenocarcinomas (60-70% are CEA+) from pleural mesotheliomas (rarely or weakly CEA+). Ant-CEA positivity is seen in adenocarcinomas from the lung, colon, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, gallbladder, urachus, salivary gland, ovary, and endocervix.

The transferrin receptor is a type II membrane glycoprotein existing as a homodimer of 180- 190 kDa with interchain disculphide bonding. The ligand is the serum iron transport protein transferrin. CD71 is expressed weakly on all resting leucocytes but is upregulated on all cells upon activation, reflecting the iron dependence of proliferation. In other tissues CD71 is expressed on most dividing cells, but also strongly on brain endothelium and alveolar macrophage. CD71 expression can reflect clinical behaviour or response to therapy in a number of malignancies including leukemia, lymphoma and breast cancer.

CD109 is a GPI-anchored member of the alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) and complement family of proteins. It is expressed on activated T-cells, platelets, hematopoietic stem cells, megakaryocyte precursors, vascular endothelial cells, basal and myoepithelial cells of secretory glands, and squamous cell carcinomas. A 170-180 kDa precursor is autocatalytically reduced to 150 kDa and 120 kDa forms. On keratinocytes CD109 binds TGF-beta and associates with TGFbeta RI and TGF-beta RII, resulting in inhibition of TGF-beta signalling. Polymorphisms of CD109 include the platelet-specific Gov antigen and the blood group ABH antigens. Alloantibodies directed against these antigens result in unsuccessful platelet transfusions, neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, and post-transfusion purpura.
EBS-CD-060 reacts with a peptide epitope on the extracellular domain of human Glycophorin A, a 39 kDa sialoglycoprotein, present on red cells and erythroid precursor cells.

EBS-C-002 reacts with NuMA or Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus protein, which at the onset of mitosis redistributes from the nucleus to two centrosomal structures at the poles of the mitotic spindle, where it plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining its bipolar structure. After anaphase the protein redistributes from the spindle polar region into the reforming nucleus and concentrates initially at the site where nuclear lamins and perichomatin have been reported to assemble. In contrast to mitotic cells, post-mitotic neurons display NuMA both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. Due to release from dead cells, NuMA is also used as oncological marker in serum and urine. In addition, chromosomal translocation of this gene with the RARA (retinoic acid receptor, alpha) gene on chromosome 17 has been detected in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

MUC5AC is present in primary ovarian mucinous cancer and gastric cancer, but usually absent in colorectal adenocarcinoma, thus showing an expression pattern opposite to MUC2. Anti-MUC5AC may be useful for differential identification of primary mucinous ovarian tumors from colon adenocarcinoma metastatic to the ovary.

Anti-MUC5AC may be useful for differential identification of primary mucinous ovarian tumors from colon adenocarcinoma metastatic to the ovary. MUC5AC antibodies may also be useful for identification pancreatic carcinoma and pre-cancerous changes vs. normal pancreas.

5-methylcytosine (5-mC) is formed from the DNA methylation of the 5-carbon found on the cytosine ring. A 5-methylcytosine monoclonal antibody is a useful tool in identifying and discriminating between the unmodified cytosine base (C) and the methylated cytosine base (5-mC) as part of DNA methylation studies. DNA methylation plays an important role in the repression of transcription in the genome. When present in promoter regions, 5-mC is associated with stable transcriptional silencing which results in inactivation of gene function, thereby having an important role in tumorigenesis.
Cluster of Differentiation 71 (CD71), also known as Transferrin Receptor Protein 1 (TfR1) or the transferrin receptor, is a cell surface proliferation marker that is involved in the cellular uptake of iron. CD71 is most highly expressed in early erythroid precursors and is fully absent from mature erythrocytes; CD71 is therefore highly useful as a marker for erythroid components within bone marrow biopsy specimens, without interference from mature erythrocytes. CD71 expression has been indicated in invasive breast carcinoma with acquired resistance to tamoxifen, and has been linked to poor prognosis in ER+/luminal-like breast cancer. Anti-CD71 is used in the determination of erythroid leukemia, benign erythroid proliferative disorders, and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a membrane protein that plays a role in innate and adaptive immunity by controlling the biosynthesis of inflammation, prostaglandins, and leukotriene mediators. This target is overexpressed in 97% of all samples from patients with hairy cell leukemia, and is absent in other B-cell lymphomas. High ANXA1 expression is frequently associated with advanced stage esophageal and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, and is also linked to advanced and metastatic disease states.
Actin is part of the cytoskeletal system of all cell types. Smooth muscle actin is found in myofibroblasts and myoepithelium, but not in cardiac or skeletal muscles. Labeling of smooth muscle actin in concert with muscle specific actin staining can allow for differentiation between rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, as muscle-specific actin is found in rhabdomyoblasts, while smooth muscle actin is found in leiomyosarcomas.
Cluster of Differentiation 99 (CD99) is a glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed by lymphocytes, cortical thymocytes, granulosa cells of the ovary, pancreatic islet cells, Sertoli cells, and endothelial cells. CD99 produces diffuse membrane staining patterns on nearly all Ewing's sarcoma and primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumours. CD99 may be found in synovial sarcoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, small round blue cell tumours, solitary fibrous tumours, vascular tumours, and myeloid sarcoma. It produces heterogeneous staining patterns which must be accompanied by other antibody staining for a final diagnosis.

Cluster of Differentiation 7 (CD7) is an antigen expressed in immature and mature T-lymphocytes, thymocytes, peripheral blood T-cells, natural killer cells, myeloid precursors, fetal liver and bone marrow, a small subpopulation of normal B-cells, and malignant B-cells. The antigen belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, and plays an important role in T-cell interactions and T-cell/B-cell interactions during early lymphoid development. CD7 is indicated as a marker for acute myelogenous leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia, and for neoplastic proliferations such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Anti-CD7, when used in adjunct with Anti-CD4, is useful for differentiating mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome (both cutaneous T-cell lymphomas) from benign dermatoses.

Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor. It is expressed in cytotoxic T-cells, natural killer cells, cortical thymocytes, some null cells, and bone marrow cells. Anti-CD8, in a panel of other antibodies, may be used to differentiate between reactive and neoplastic T-lymphocytes.
Cluster of Differentiation 68 (CD68) is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane antigen that is detected in lysosomes, tissue macrophages, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, Kupffer cells, osteoclasts, and granulocytes. Anti-CD68 may be useful in identifying myelomonocytic and histiocytic tumours, and for differentiating between malignant fibrous histiocytoma and other pleomorphic sarcomas. However, other lysosome-rich cells may also stain, since Anti-CD68 detects a formalin-resistant epitope that may be associated with lysosomal granules.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH or Corticotropin) is a peptidic hormone synthesized in the anterior pituitary gland. The primary application of Anti-ACTH is in the identification of pituitary tumours and the study of pituitary disease. The Anti-ACTH antibody reacts with ACTH-producing cells (corticotrophs). It may also cause paraneoplastic syndromes by secreting ACTH from other tumours, such as some small cell carcinomas of the lung.

Actin is part of the cytoskeletal system of every cell type. It can be classified based on isoelectric points as alpha, beta, and gamma. Muscle Specific Actin includes those of the alpha and gamma isotypes. Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle cells will all stain positively with Anti-Muscle Specific Actin, but mesenchymal cells, not including myoepithelium, will stain negatively. Normal and neoplastic non-muscle cells, including vascular endothelial and connective tissues, carcinomas, melanomas, and lymphomas, will also be negative for muscle specific actin. The use of Anti-Muscle Specific Actin in concert with Anti-Smooth Muscle Actin can allow for differentiation between rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, as muscle specific actin is found in rhabdomyoblasts, while smooth muscle actin is found in leiomyosarcomas.
Androgen Receptor (AR) is a transcriptional regulator with a broad array of functions. This marker is clinically significant in the understanding of tumour progression and tumour aggressiveness. The detection of AR by immunohistochemical staining is important for diagnosis of all types of prostate carcinoma, including both therapy-responsive and therapy-unresponsive disease states. Co-testing with AR and CK20 is used for differential diagnosis of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) [CK20+/AR-], morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [CK20-/AR+], and microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) [CK20-/AR-].

Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase which plays a role in brain and nervous system development. ALK is typically expressed at low levels in regions of the developing central and peripheral nervous system, such as the neonatal brain and spinal cord. The most common genetic alterations of this gene are chromosomal translocations, which result in multiple ALK fusion proteins that are involved in tumourigenesis, as in the case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), lung adenocarcinoma, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours. Aberrant ALK expression is also found in other tumours such as familial neuroblastoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and brain cancers.

B7H4 is a glycosylated transmembrane protein of the B7 family. It binds to activated T cells to moderate the T cell responses via cell cycle arrest in the T cell. Reverse signaling can induce either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in the B7H4 expressing cell. B7H4 is up-regulated in several carcinomas in correlation with tumor progression and metastasis. A soluble form of B7H4 is elevated in the serum of ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and rheumatoid arthritis patients, also in correlation with advanced disease status.

Cluster of Differentiation 5 (CD5) is expressed in high levels on the surface of T-cells, while the expression levels and role of CD5 in B-cells is not well documented. As a part of a diagnostic panel, its utility lies predominantly as a marker for T-cells, with over 70% of T-cell neoplasms expressing CD5. In particular, it is correlated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma, as well as a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. CD5 demonstrates positive expression in thymic carcinomas, and is not as sensitive as CD3. CD5 also has value as a prognostic indicator, as it is associated with poor prognosis in acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia.
ATRX is involved in the remodeling of the nucelosome structure, and facilitate the transcription and replication. ATRX loss occurs in grades II/III astrocytomas and glioblastomas and comes together with IDH1 mutations. Detection of ATRX with IHC acts a sensitive method to identify the mutations.

Cluster of Differentiation 57 (CD57), also known as NK-1, is an antigen detectable in natural killer cells, some T-lymphocytes and normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells, myeloid cells, and a variety of polypeptides, lipids, and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. CD57 is indicated as a marker for tumours of neuroendocrine origin, including pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, medulloblastomas, and carcinoid tumour, as well as various neural tumours including neuromas, neurofibromas, schwannomas, and granular cell tumours. CD57 is also detectable in ganglioneuroma and prostate carcinoma. Anti-CD57 is used to distinguish nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma from T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma, nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease, and follicular lymphoma.
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a major plasma glycoprotein seen in hepatocytes of fetal liver and in hepatoma. Elevated levels of AFP in adult serum may be indicative of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoid adenocarcinoma, germ cell tumours, or yolk sac tumours. In hepatocellular carcinoma, AFP expression usually indicates malignancy in a hepatocellular nodule and hepatic histogenesis of a malignancy.

Arginase-1, encoded by the ARG1 gene, is a cytosolic metalloenzyme expressed predominantly in hepatocytes. Arginase-1 plays a key role in the urea cycle by catalyzing the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. Argininemia is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a buildup of arginine and ammonia in the blood. Anti-Arginase-1 is highly specific for hepatocytes, and is therefore a sensitive and specific marker of benign and malignant hepatic tumours.
Cluster of Differentiation 56 (CD56), also known as Neural-Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM), is a glycoprotein involved in synaptic plasticity, cell-cell adhesion, neurite outgrowth, learning, and memory. NCAM is expressed in normal neurons, glia, natural killer cells, activated T-cells, brain and cerebellum, neuroendocrine tissues, and skeletal muscle. Anti-CD56 recognizes a number of tumours including myeloma, myeloid leukemia, natural killer/T-cell lymphomas, neuroendocrine tumours, pancreatic acinar-cell carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and Wilm's tumour. CD56 is detectable in neoplasms that are neuroectodermally-derived, such as retinoblastoma, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, small cell carcinomas, and neuroblastomas. It has also been linked to rhabdomyosarcoma, a tumour that is mesodermally-derived.
SPNS2 is a sphingolipid transporter expressed in the extraembryonic yolk syncytial layer (YSL). SPNS2 is required of migration of myocardial precursors, since it contributes in sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) secretion, which is a mediator that plays critical roles in cardiovascular, immunological, and neural development and function.
The Cytokeratin 10 [IHC135] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, subsequent to clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of neoplastic tissue within the context of antibody panels, the patients clinical history and other diagnostic tests as evaluated by a qualified pathologist.

Cytokeratin 18 (CK18) is present in simple, glandular, and transitional epithelial cells, but is absent in stratified epithelial cells. CK18 usually multimerizes with Cytokeratin 8, and Anti-Cytokeratin 18 is useful for detecting adenocarcinomas of simple and glandular epithelium origin, as well as poorly differentiated squamous carcinoma cells.
Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) forms intermediate filaments found in the intracytoplasmic cytoskeleton of epithelial tissue and provides mechanical support. Anti-Cytokeratin 19 stains epithelia and epithelial malignancies such as carcinomas of the colon, stomach, pancreas, biliary tract, liver, and breast. Cytokeratin 19 is a useful marker for distinguishing hepatocellular carcinoma from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This differentiation is improved when stained in combination with Cytokeratin 7, CAM5.2, Ber-EP4/MOC31, Hep-Par1, and TTF1. Cytokeratin 19 staining can also be used to recognize thyroid papillary carcinomas.
Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) forms intermediate filaments and is normally present in gastric and intestinal epithelium, urothelium, and Merkel cells. Anti-Cytokeratin 20 is used for distinguishing specific types of urinary tract epithelial cells and malignant epithelia. Anti-Cytokeratin 20 stains tissues of the colon, stomach, pancreas, biliary system adenocarcinomas, transitional-cell, mucinous ovarian tumours, and Merkel cell carcinomas. Non-mucinous tumours of the ovary and adenocarcinomas of the breast, lung, endometrium, squamous cell, and small cell type are not stained by Anti-Cytokeratin 20.
Cytokeratin 5 dimerizes with Cytokeratin 14 to form the cytoskeleton of basal epithelial cells, while Cytokeratin 6 multimerizes with Cytokeratin 16 and/or 17 in the tongue, oral epithelia and esophagus, hair follicles, and glandular epithelia. Anti-Cytokeratin 5 & 6 rarely stains lung adenocarcinoma, but will produce small foci or scattered staining patterns in these Cytokeratin 5 & 6(+) samples. Cytokeratin 5 & 6 staining is useful for identifying squamous cell carcinoma, and can be used to determine the malignancies of myoepithelial cells in the breast and prostate. Cytokeratin 5 & 6 also rarely stains carcinomas of the breast, colon, and prostate. A panel of antibodies against Cytokeratin 5 & 6, TTF-1, napsin A, p63, SOX2, DSC3, and desmoglein-3 is useful for differentiating lung squamous cell carcinoma from lung adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma.

Cyclin D1 is an essential cell cycle regulator and proto-oncogene. Cyclin D1 staining is useful for investigating cell cycle biology and related cancers. Anti-Cyclin D1 is used for differentiating mantle cell lymphomas (positive stain) from CLL/SLL and follicular lymphomas (negative stain). Hairy cell leukemia and plasma cell myeloma also react lightly to Anti-Cyclin D1.
Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA-4) is a receptor on T helper cells that functions as an immune checkpoint and downregulator of immune responses. Mutations in CTLA-4 are associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), celiac disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases. The spliced variant of CTLA-4 in SLE is present in the patient's serum. Haploinsufficiency of CTLA-4 causes the immune system disorder known as CTLA-4 deficiency or CHAI disease (CTLA-4 haploinsufficiency with autoimmune infiltration).
Cytokeratin 7 (CK7) is a type II keratin which is present in transitional, ductal, glandular, and biliary duct epithelial cells. Cytokeratin 7 is a useful marker for distinguishing between carcinomas of the lung, breast, endometrium, and urothelia (positive stain) from carcinomas of the colon and prostate (negative stain). Cytokeratin 7 is present is nearly all primary lung adenocarcinomas, and is a useful marker in the differential diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms. Anti-Cytokeratin 7 does not stain intermediate filament.
COX-2, also known as Cyclooxygenase 2, catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2. The inhibition of COX-2 using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents limits angiogenesis and tumour growth, and increases apoptosis. The overexpression of COX-2 is linked to increased microvascular density.

Collagen Type IV is a primary component of the basal lamina that is used as a marker to observe the presence of the lamina and examine its structure. In addition to the epithelial basal lamina, Anti-Collagen Type IV stains mesenchymal components. It is useful for identifying soft tissue cancers, including schwannomas and leiomyomas. Anti-Collagen Type IV frequently reacts with these tissues after becoming well-differentiated and malignant. The use of Anti-Collagen Type IV produces more reliable results than non-specific silver reticulum stains when investigating the vascular elements of neoplasms, hemangiopericytoma, angiosarcoma, and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone synthesized and secreted by lactotroph cells in the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland). PRL plays a role in a number of processes including cell growth, reproduction, and immune function, with its primary function being associated with lactation. Anti-Prolactin reacts with lactotroph cells, and is useful in classification of pituitary tumours and the study of pituitary disease.
Prostate Cocktail is a combination of Cytokeratin 1, Cytokeratin 5, Cytokeratin 10, Cytokeratin 14, and p63. These four high molecular weight cytokeratins are found in basal epithelia of the prostate gland. p63 is a tumour suppressor protein found in basal epithelial nuclei of the normal prostate, while being negative in malignant tumours associated with the prostate gland. It is therefore useful in differentiating between benign and malignant prostate lesions.

c-Myc is a phosphoprotein involved with cell proliferation and differentiation. It is a useful marker for differentiation between Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) since, despite morphological similarities between the two B-cell lymphomas, Anti-c-Myc stains all BL and only a few DLBCL cases. A panel of antibodies against c-Myc, CD10, BCL2, and Ki-67 is useful for cases where Myc FISH analysis is warranted or can be omitted. Nuclear c-Myc overexpression is common in luminal cells of prostate intraepithelial neoplasia, many primary carcinomas, and metastatic disease.
This gene, CMTM6, belongs to the chemokine-like factor superfamily, a novel family that is similar to the chemokine and transmembrane 4 superfamilies. CMTM6 stabilizes plasma membrane expression of PD-L1 and protects PD-L1 from lysosomal degradation by preventing STUB1-mediated PD-L1 ubiquitination. Based on the studies of CMTM6 immune system regulation, it is being investigated as an immunotherapeutic target for cancer treatment.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a serine protease of the kallikrein family that is produced by the prostate epithelium and epithelial lining of the periurethral glands. Although considered prostate-specific, PSA has also been detected in breast tissue, breast tumours, endometrium, adrenal neoplasms, and renal cell carcinomas. Anti-PSA can be used for differentiating high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma from high-grade urothelial carcinoma, as well as for determining the prostatic origin of carcinomas in non-prostate tissues. Anti-PSA recognizes primary and metastatic prostatic neoplasms, but not tumours of nonprostatic origin, and can be useful as an aid to confirm prostatic acinar cell origin in primary and metastatic carcinomas.
The C-Met [IHC078] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, subsequent to clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of neoplastic tissues within the context of antibody panels, the patients clinical history and other diagnostic tests as evaluated by a qualified pathologist.
Prostatic Specific Acid Phosphatase (PSAP) is a prostatic enzyme found in the glandular epithelium of the prostate. PSAP levels are elevated in hyperplastic prostate and prostate carcinoma, with the highest levels being detected in metastasized prostate cancer. Moderate overexpression of PSAP is also characteristic of diseases of the bone (such as Paget's disease or hyperparathyroidism), diseases of blood cells (such as sickle-cell disease), multiple myeloma, or lysosomal storage diseases (such as Gaucher's disease). PSAP is considered more sensitive, yet less specific, than PSA, however Anti-PSAP can act as a useful complement to Anti-PSA under suitable clinical contexts.
ROS1 serves as a receptor tyrosine kinase. Gene rearrangement events involving ROS1 have been described in lung and other cancers, and such tumors have been found to be remarkably responsive to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Multiple studies have demonstrated an incidence of approximately 1% in lung cancers, demonstrated oncogenicity, and showed that inhibition of tumor cells bearing ROS1 gene fusions by crizotinib or other ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors was effective in vitro.
S-100 is a low-molecular weight protein found in Schwann cells, melanocytes, glial cells, histiocytes, lipocytes, skeletal and cardiac muscle, chondrocytes, adipocytes, myoepithelial cells, macrophages, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, and keratinocytes. S-100 is a useful marker for Schwann cell-derived tumours and a number of well-differentiated tumours of the salivary gland, adipose and cartilaginous tissue. Anti-S-100 is used to detect melanomas, histiocytosis X, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours, and clear cell sarcomas.
Serum Amyloid A1 (SAA1) is a member of the serum amyloid A family of apolipoproteins. Highly inducible SAA1 is an acute phase protein expressed in response to tissue injury and chronic inflammatory disease. The recent studies also suggest SAA1 is associated with tumor pathogenesis contributing to certain types of malignant tumors.
Sal-Like Protein 4 (SALL4) is a zinc finger transcription factor found in germ cells and human blood progenitor cells, with functional involvement in modulating Oct-4 to maintain embryonic stem cell pluripotency. SALL4 is a useful marker for acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, intratubular germ cell neoplasia, seminomas/dysgerminomas, and yolk sac tumours (both pediatric and postpubertal). Anti-SALL4 is used to detect embryonal carcinomas, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gliomas, ovarian primitive germ-cell tumours, choriocarcinomas, spermatogonia, teratoma, gastric cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer. Expression of SALL4 is often associated with poor prognosis in HCC, and with metastasis in endometrial cancer, colorectal carcinoma, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
The SATB2 [IHC095] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods.

SRY (Sex Determining Region Y)-Box 10 (SOX-10), also known as Transcription Factor SOX-10, is a nuclear transcription factor that acts in regulation of embryonic development and in the specification and differentiation of cells of melanocytic lineage. SOX-10 is diffusely expressed in neurofibromas and schwannomas, and mutations in the SOX-10 gene are linked to Waardenburg-Shah and Waardenburg-Hirschsprung's disease. Anti-SOX-10 has been shown to be sensitive for conventional, spindled, and desmoplastic melanoma, and has been used to detect metastatic melanoma and nodal capsular nevus in sentinel lymph nodes.
SRY (Sex Determining Region Y)-Box 11 (SOX11), also known as Transcription Factor SOX11, is a nuclear transcription factor that acts in regulation of embryonic development, cell differentiation, and the development of the human central nervous system. SOX11 is expressed in medulloblastoma and glioma, and has been indicated as a marker for both Cyclin D1-positive and -negative mantle cell lymphomas, Burkitt's lymphoma, and lymphoblastic lymphoma.
SOX-2, also known as SRY (Sex Determining Region Y)-Box 2, is a transcription factor that acts to regulate pluripotency of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells, and to regulate gene expression in the stomach. This diagnostic grade SOX-2 IVD antibody is used to detect melanoma, testicular germ cell tumour, cervical carcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer with basal cell phenotype, and teratoma of the central nervous system. SOX-2 has been reported as a predictor of poor outcome in stage I lung adenocarcinomas. Anti-SOX-2 is also used to recognize squamous cell carcinomas of the lung and gastrointestinal tract, and may be useful for detecting embryonal carcinoma.
Clusterin/Apolipoprotein J is normally found in epithelial cells, semen, plasma, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine, and is involved in apoptosis and the clearance of cellular debris. It is present in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cancers, as well as most systemic anaplastic large cell lymphomas. Anti-Clusterin/Apolipoprotein J in a panel with other antibodies is useful for differentiating systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma from classic Hodgkin's disease. Anti-Clusterin/Apolipoprotein J also displays high sensitivity and specificity for follicular dendritic cell tumours. Clusterin overexpression is linked to recurrence and poor prognosis in breast cancer, and chemosensistivity and poor survival in cervical cancer.
Cytokeratin 14 (CK14) is found in squamous epithelial basal cells, myoepithelium, some glandular epithelia, and mesothelial cells. Anti-Cytokeratin 14 is useful for distinguishing squamous cell carcinomas from other epithelial tumours, and for classifying metaplastic breast carcinomas.

Chromogranin A is localized in secretory granules of neurons and endocrine cells in tissues, including pituitary, adrenal medulla, thyroid, pancreatic islets, and the gastrointestinal tract. Neuroendocrine cells exhibit a fine granular immunoreactivity to Anti-Chromogranin A. It is widely recognized that co-expression of keratins and chromogranin A implies a neuroendocrine lineage. High expression of chromogranin A and negative staining with Anti-Keratin is a possible indication of paraganglioma. Positive staining for chromogranin A and neuron-specific enolase is representative of neuroendocrine neoplasms. Many pituitary adenomas and prolactinomas stain positively for chromogranin A.
Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) describes a set of glycophosphatidyl inositol and transmembrane cell-surface-anchored glycoproteins involved in cell adhesion, differentiation, anoikis, polarization, and tissue architecture. CEA staining, along with Calretinin, CK 5/6, D2-40, HBME-1, Napsin A, MOC-31, and Ber-EP4, is used to help differentiate between adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma. Staining with Anti-CEA is also suggested to be useful in identifying the origin of metastatic adenocarcinoma. CEA is an effective marker for adenocarcinomas of the lung, colon, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, gallbadder, urachus, salivary gland, ovary, and endocervix.
CDX-2 is a caudal-related homeobox transcription factor that is expressed by intestinal epithelial cells. CDX-2 is a useful marker for gastrointestinal carcinoma and for determining the origin of gastrointestinal metastatic adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumours. Anti-CDX-2 is used for differentiating lung and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, mucinous ovarian carcinoma also reacts positively with Anti-CDX-2, thereby limiting the ability to differentiate from metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.
STAT6 is a member of the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) family. Recurrent fusions of STAT6 with NAB2 on chromosome 12q13 have been found in the majority of solitary fibrous tumors (SFT). STAT6 antibody is a reliable immunohistochemical marker for SFT and can be helpful to distinguish this tumor type from histologic mimics.
Stathmin regulates microtubule dynamics in the cell cycle. It is present in all tissues, but is mostly pronounced in constantly proliferating cell types. Anti-Stathmin staining has been found to correlate with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade, with CIN 3 presenting the greatest expression and CIN 1 displaying the least expression of stathmin.
Survivin is an apoptosis inhibitor that is nearly undetectable in terminally differentiated cells, but found in most tumours including renal cell carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, and breast carcinoma. Survivin expression is linked to tumour progression, but not patient survival.
Synaptophysin is a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein used in synaptic transmission of neurons. Anti-Synaptophysin stains the gastrointestinal mucosa and lung neuroendocrine cells of the human adrenal medulla, carotid body, pancreas, pituitary, skin, and thyroid. Synaptophysin also stains neuroendocrine neoplasms. Use of Anti-Synaptophysin produces diffuse, finely granular, cytoplasmic staining. The presence of synaptophysin does not correlate with neuron-specific enolase or other neuroendocrine markers.
Tumour-Associated Glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72) is a glycoprotein found on the surface of many cancer pathologies. Anti-TAG-72 can be useful for detecting some adenocarcinomas and non-neoplastic tissues. This diagnostic grade TAG-72 IVD antibody is useful for identifying adenocarcinomas in positive staining, but in mesotheliomas no staining is observed.
Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) is a DNA polymerase present in normal and malignant pre-B- and pre-T-cells during early differentiation. Anti-TdT stains nearly all acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (ALL) cases, but does not stain pre-B-cell ALL or mature B- and T-cells. Anti-TdT staining is also useful for identifying Type AB thymoma and some chronic myeloid leukemia.
Transcription Factor E3 (TFE3) is a transcription factor that binds to the MUE3-type E-box sequences involved in TGF-β signaling. Anti-TFE3 staining is the most sensitive and specific indicator of Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinomas. Since alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is characterized by a specific chromosomal rearrangement resulting in a chimeric transcription factor (ASPSCR1-TFE3), this TFE3 IVD antibody is also a useful diagnostic tool for recognizing ASPS.
The TFE3 [IHC108] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, subsequent to clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of neoplastic tissues within the context of antibody panels, the patients clinical history and other diagnostic tests as evaluated by a qualified pathologist.
Transforming Growth Factor ?1 (TGF?1) is a cytokine present in regulatory T-cells, immature dendritic cells, megakaryocytes, and platelets, with a functional involvement in regulating T-cells. TGF?1 is overexpressed in thyroid cancer and cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Poor prognosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma is associated with TGF?1.

CD45RO is an isoform of CD45 which is expressed in thymocytes, activated T-cells, and subpopulations of resting T-cells. It is a useful marker for T-cell tumours, as Anti-CD45RO demonstrates no reactivity with B-cells. Specifically, CD45RO is implicated in a number of T-cell lymphomas including angioimmunoblastic, lymphoblastic, peripheral, and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphomas.

CD45R, also known as MB1, is an isoform of CD45 that is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) family. CD45R is expressed specifically on the surface of hematopoietic cells, and has demonstrated function as a regulator of the antigen and cytokine receptor signaling of B- and T-cells. Given that the antigen is located in the membrane of all B-cells, with the exception of plasma cells and some mature T-cells, Anti-CD45R exhibits specific reactivity with most B-lymphocytes. The use of Anti-CD45R is primarily useful in distinguishing B-cell lymphomas from T-cell lymphomas, with specific reactivity to follicle center cells, mantle cells, some medullary thymocytes, and 80% of B-cell lymphomas.
Cluster of Differentiation 45 (CD45), also known as Leukocyte Common Antigen (LCA), is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) family that is known to regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, the mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. CD45 is expressed in most nucleated cells of hematopoietic origin, and is an essential regulator of T- and B-cell antigen receptor signaling. Anti-CD45 positively stains the majority of lymphoid neoplasms, and is highly indicative of lymphoid origin. However, an absence of CD45 does not rule out lymphoid tumours, as certain types of neoplasms lack CD45, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, some T-cell lymphomas, and some leukemias.
Cluster of Differentiation 44 (CD44) is a glycoprotein receptor for hyaluronic acid that plays a fundamental role in cellular adhesion, stromal binding, migration, and cell-cell interactions. Positive staining with Anti-CD44 is implicated in a multitude of different cancer types, including breast, prostatic, renal cell, colonic, hepatocellular, and genitourinary carcinomas, as well as non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, metastatic melanoma, gastric cancer, and some soft tissue tumours. It has also been demonstrated that there is a positive correlation between tumour progression and increased expression of CD44v, a high molecular weight CD44 isoform that has been described in epithelial cells. Given the expression of CD44 in a wide range of cancers, the most practical application of CD44 immunostaining is its use in discriminating between urothelial transitional cell carcinoma <em>in situ</em> from non-neoplastic changes in the urothelium.
Thyroglobulin is a precursor to the thyroid hormones T4 and T3, and is present in the thyroid follicular cells. Nearly all thyroid follicular carcinomas stain for thyroglobulin and sometimes produce a focal staining pattern. Conversely, poorly differentiated carcinomas and non-thyroid adenocarcinomas do not stain for thyroglobulin, therefore Anti-Thyroglobulin is a useful diagnostic tool for recognizing papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas. A panel of Anti-Thyroglobulin and Anti-Calcitonin is useful for identifying medullary thyroid carcinomas, whereas a panel of Anti-Thyroglobulin and Anti-TTF1 is useful for distinguishing between primary thyroid and lung neoplasms.

Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) is a membrane glycoprotein expressed in T helper cells, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, and dendritic cells, and is a receptor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). CD4 staining is used for identifying lymphoproliferative disorders. Since the majority of peripheral T-cell lymphomas arise from the T helper cell subset, CD4 expression can be found in most forms of T-cell lymphomas as well as anaplastic large T-cell lymphomas and mycosis fungoides. Since CD4 may be aberrantly expressed in neoplastic T-lymphocytes, a panel of markers may be used to identify such tumours. CD4(+) CD25(+) T-cells are reported to exert immunosuppression, which is commonly observed in various types of cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and cancers of the breast, prostate, and ovary.
Cluster of Differentiation 35 (CD35), also known as Erythrocyte Complement Receptor 1 (CR1) or C3b/C4b, is commonly found on erythrocytes, B- and T-cells, monocytes, eosinophils, and neutrophils. It functions to mediate the clearance of opsonized targets. CD35 is a mature B-lymphocyte marker, and Anti-CD35 reacts positively with normal and tumourous follicular dendritic reticulum cells.

Cluster of Differentiation 34 (CD34) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, vascular endothelium, embryonic fibroblasts, and rare glial cells in nervous tissue. CD34 is the most used marker for characterizing blasts in leukemia. CD34 is also present in some soft tissue tumours including solitary fibrous tumours and gastrointestinal stromal tumours. Proliferating endothelial cells seem to upregulate CD34 expression. Although specificity is low, Anti-CD34 reacts positively with more than 85% of angiosarcoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma.
TIGIT is an immune receptor present on some T cells and Natural Killer cells. TIGIT binds with high affinity to the poliovirus receptor (PVR) which causes increased secretion of IL10 and decreased secretion of IL12B and suppresses T cell activation by promoting the generation of mature immunoregulatory dendritic cells. Through the CD226/TIGIT-PVR pathway, TIGIT regulates T cell mediated immunity. In cancer, TIGIT and PD-1 have been shown to be over-expressed on tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells and CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from individuals with melanoma. Blockade of TIGIT and PD-1 led to increased cell proliferation, cytokine production, and degranulation of tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells and TIL CD8+ T cells. It can be considered an immune checkpoint.
T-Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin-Domain-Containing Molecule-3 (TIM3) is present on T-helper type 1 lymphocytes and other immune cells, including dendritic cells and natural killer cells. TIM3 is overexpressed in CD4+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, including those with non-small cell lung cancer associated with poor prognoses. TIM3 has recently emerged as a potential target for cancer immunotherapy.
Topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) is a member of a highly conserved group of enzymes that plays important roles in synthesis and transcription of DNA as well as chromosomal segregation during mitosis. The overexpression of TOP2A has been correlated with increased risk of progression in various cancers, and it has been a target for the development of anti-polymerase inhibitors to treat cancer.
The TOP2A [IHC112] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, subsequent to clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of proliferating cells in normal and neoplastic tissues within the context of antibody panels, the patients clinical history and other diagnostic tests as evaluated by a qualified pathologist.

Cluster of Differentiation 31 (CD31) is present on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and its expression is used to determine the concentration of HSCs in research studies and for bone marrow transplantation. Anti-CD31 is very specific and sensitive for endothelial cells and does not stain non-vascular tumours, therefore CD31 staining is used to recognize the vascular origins of neoplasms.
Cluster of Differentiation 30 (CD30) is a transmembrane cytokine receptor expressed by activated T- and B- cells. It is present on Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's lymphoma, most anaplastic large cell lymphomas, embryonal carcinomas, and primary cutaneous CD30 positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. B-cell lymphomas are sometimes stained by Anti-CD30. Lymphomas exhibit Golgi zone accentuation when stained with Anti-CD30, while embryonal carcinomas produce membranous stains.
Cluster of Differentiation 3 (CD3) is a T-cell co-receptor expressed by T-cells in thymus, peripheral lymphoid tissue, blood, and bone marrow, as well as activated natural killer cells. CD3 is specifically expressed by T-cells at all stages of development including T-cell lymphomas and leukemias; therefore, it can be used to classify T-cell neoplasms from B-cell and myeloid neoplasms.

Thyroid Transcription Factor 1 (TTF-1) is present in diencephalon, lung, and thyroid. Anti-TTF-1 stains thyroid and thyroid-derived tumours, and is therefore used for distinguishing lung adenocarcinoma from germ cell tumours, malignant mesothelioma, and metastatic carcinomas from organs other than the thyroid. It is also useful for distinguishing small cell lung carcinoma from lymphoid infiltrates, and pulmonary from non-pulmonary adenocarcinomas in malignant effusions. The ability to distinguish between pulmonary and non-pulmonary adenocarcinomas is particularly useful in identifying tumours that have metastasized to the brain.
Cluster of Differentiation 23 (CD23) is found on interleukin-4 activated B-cells, activated macrophages, eosinophils, and follicular dendritic cells, and is a receptor for IgE, an antibody involved in parasitic immunity. CD23 is present on Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease. Follicular dendritic cells and activated B-lymphocytes produce strong staining in germinal centers and weak patterns in mantle zone B-cells. CD23 is helpful in differentiating chronic lymphocytic leukemia from mantle cell leukemia. Small B-cell lymphomas are sometimes positive, while precursor B- and T-lymphomas, myeloid neoplasms, and mature T-cell lymphomas stain negatively with Anti-CD23.
Cluster of Differentiation 21 (CD21) is a glycoprotein on the surface of B-cells that is bound by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) during infection of these cells. CD21 staining is useful for recognizing follicular dendritic cell matrices in normal tonsillar and lymph tissue, and can also stain dendritic cell sarcomas. CD21 is also useful for distinguishing marginal zone lymphoma with follicular involvement from follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation. When used in concert with other B- and T-cell markers, CD21 is valuable for differentiating between nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma, T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma, and lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin's lymphoma. CD21 staining is useful for recognizing abnormal follicular dendritic cell patterns in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and follicular T-cell lymphoma.

Cluster of Differentiation (CD20), also known as B-Lymphocyte Antigen, is a non-glycosylated protein expressed on the surface of normal and malignant B-cells, which functions in chemokine signaling and microenvironmental interactions of B-cells. Anti-CD20 stains a minority of Reed-Sternberg cells with Hodgkin's disease. Since CD20 does not stain T-cell malignancies, it is a very useful marker for B-cell lymphomas. CD20 is also not reactive on non-hematopoietic neoplasms.
CD1a is part of a heterodimer with β-2-microglobulin, and mediates the capture and presentation of antigens, primarily lipid and glycolipid antigens of self or microbial origin, to T-cells. CD1a is expressed on interdigitating and dermal dendritic cells, veiled cells, Langerhans cells, antigen-presenting cells of the lymph nodes, and cortical thymocytes. Anti-CD1a stains Langerhans cell histiocytosis and cortical T LBL/L pre-T lymphoblastic lymphoma and leukemia. In concert with S100 and CD68, CD1a is very useful for differentiating Rosai-Dorfman disease from other histiocytic diseases.

Cluster of Differentiation 19 (CD19) is a surface receptor found on follicular dendritic cells and B-cells. CD19 is found on normal and malignant B-cells, and is known as a reliable marker for B-cells throughout its maturation stages. Anti-CD19 reacts positively with the mantle zone cells, scattered cells, and germinal centers of normal lymph tissues. Although CD20 and CD22 have similar staining patterns to CD19, CD19 is useful because it is also expressed in immature B-cells.
Cluster of Differentiation 163 (CD163) is a receptor found exclusively on the surface of monocytes and macrophages. The solubilized form in plasma is upregulated in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and Gaucher’s disease, which supports recent studies that have found IL-10, glucocorticoids, and other inflammatory modulators to upregulate CD163 expression. CD163 staining is useful for differentiating synovial intimal fibroblasts from synovial macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis. Overexpression of CD163 is also present in patients with myelomonocytic leukemia dealing with microbial infections. CD163 expression is found in leukemias with monocytic differentiation and synovial-type giant cell tumours of the vertebral column.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) promotes vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and mainly affects the vascular endothelium. VEGF is associated with poor prognoses of breast carcinomas, and has been shown to be elevated in rheumatoid arthritis.
Cluster of Differentiation 15 (CD15), also known as Leu-M1, is a carbohydrate adhesion molecule. Positive staining for CD15 and negative staining for leukocyte common antigen or other B- or T-cell lineage markers helps recognize Reed Sternberg cells (RSC) in classic Hodgkin's lymphoma, and distinguishes it from Hodgkin-like neoplasms. CD15 does not stain mesotheliomas and is therefore most useful for distinguishing epithelial mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma.
Villin is a tissue-specific actin-binding glycoprotein that is associated with the maintenance of the microvilli brush border found in the gastrointestinal mucosal epithelium. Villin is expressed in carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract, renal cell carcinomas, pacreatic carcinomas, endometrial carcinomas, as well as carcinomas of the ovary and lungs. Anti-Villin antibodies can be useful for identifying and differentiating adenocarcinomas of these organs from other organs in the body. Additionally, it may be helpful in separating carcinoid tumors from other endocrine tumors.
The CD14 [IHC014] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, subsequent to clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of neoplastic tissues within the context of antibody panels, the patients clinical history and other diagnostic tests as evaluated by a qualified pathologist.
Cluster of Differentiation 138 (CD138), also known as Syndecan-1, is a trans- membrane glycoprotein present on the surface of B-cells during late stage differentiation. Anti-CD138 is used to differentiate marginal zone lymphoma from lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. ALK+ Large B-Cell Lymphoma (LBCL) commonly stains positively for CD138, but not for CD20 and CD79a. Anti-CD138 reacts positively with HHV8-associated primary effusion lymphoma that lacks B-cell markers. CD138 is also a useful marker for identifying and enumerating benign, reactive, or malignant plasma cells from the bone marrow biopsy samples.
Cluster of Differentiation 13 (CD13) is a transmembrane protein that is overexpressed in both hematological and solid malignancies, including Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Although hypogranular variants of AML are difficult to distinguish from other AML subtypes due to the morphology, the diagnosis of this variant is possible through using a panel of CD13, CD16, CD33, CD34, and CD117. Alternatively, a panel of CD13, CD34, CD43, CD68, CD117, CD163, lysozyme, and MPO is very useful for accurately diagnosing myeloid sarcoma and distinguishing it from large cell lymphoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, malignant melanoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, extra-medullary hematopoiesis, and inflammation. Since CD13 is expressed in both normal and neoplastic liver tissues, CD13 staining is useful for distinguishing between hepatocellular carcinoma and non-hepatocellular neoplasms.

CD117 or Proto-oncogene c-Kit (c-Kit) is a member of the Tyrosine Kinase Receptor (TKR) family, and is an important cell surface marker found on hematopoietic stem cells, melanocytes, mast cells, Cajal cells, germ cells, basal cells of skin, and mammary ductal epithelia. It is considered an important marker in the diagnosis and classification of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GISTs), mast cell diseases, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC), and Ewing's sarcoma.
Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) is present in single-layer epithelial tissue. CK8 frequently interacts with Cytokeratin 18, and Anti-Cytokeratin 8 is useful for identifying adenocarcinomas with simple epithelium origin. It may also be used to differentiate between lobular (perinuclear staining) and ductal (peripheral staining) breast carcinomas.
Cluster of Differentiation 10 (CD10) is a cell surface metalloendopeptidase that cleaves and inactivates several peptide hormones including glucagon, enkephalins, and oxytocin. Also known as Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Antigen (CALLA), it is an important cell surface marker in the diagnosis of human ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia), and is found positive in precursor B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and follicular germinal center lymphoma. CD10 expression has also been reported in a variety of non-hematolymphoid tissues, particularly of the kidney. It is a useful aid in the diagnosis of various malignant tumours such as renal cell carcinoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Calretinin is a calcium-binding protein that functions as a modulator of neuronal excitability and may play a protective role in the survival of nerve cells during disturbances in calcium homeostasis. It is abundantly expressed in subsets of neurons throughout the brain and spinal cord, particularly retina and sensory ganglia, but it is also found in mesothelium, eccrine sweat glands, Sertoli cells, ovarian stromal cells, and adrenal cortical cells. Due to its high sensitivity against mesothelial cells, calretinin is a useful marker in differentiating mesothelioma and metastatic adenocarcinoma to the serous membranes. It is also a diagnostic marker of Hirschsprung's disease and some ovarian and testicular cancers such as Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour, Sertoli cell tumour, Leydig cell tumour, sex cord tumour with annular tubules, and steroid cell tumour.
Cytokeratin 8 & 18 are present in various epithelia including that of the breast, thyroid, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Anti-Cytokeratin 8 & 18 stains adenocarcinomas and most non-keratinizing squamous carcinomas, but does not stain keratinizing squamous carcinomas. Since Cytokeratin 18 is scarce in normal epidermis, Anti-Cytokeratin 8 & 18 is used to detect Paget cells in such samples. Cytokeratin 8 & 18 helps identify colorectal carcinoma metastases as it is more sensitive than genetic tests.

Desmin is a type III intermediate filament present in normal smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle cells. Analysis by light microscopy suggests desmin localizes towards the periphery of Z-lines in striated muscle fibrils. Desmin connects cytoplasmic dense bodies to membranous dense plaques in smooth muscles. Anti-Desmin stains rhabdomyomas, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyomas, and perivascular cells from skin glomus tumours, and is used to identify the myogenic characteristics of tumours. Desmin can also be found in myofibroblasts and desmoid fibromatosis.
Desmoglein-3 Antibody (DSG3) is a component of desmosomes in vertebrate epithelial cells. It identifies pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas from other types of lung cancer with a highly specificity and sensitivity. Studies show the upregulation of DSG3 correlated with metastasis in a number of cancers including lung cancers. The expression of DSG3 indicates a poor prognosis and portends a more aggressive clinical outcome.

DOG1, also known as Discovered on GIST-1, is a marker that is highly specific for gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST). Anti-DOG1 is extremely sensitive for the detection of GIST and its diagnosis. Although some GIST stain weakly for c-kit, DOG1 is expressed in the vast majority of GIST cases. Reports have also indicated DOG1 as a marker for salivary acinar and intercalated duct differentiation.
E-cadherin is an intercellular adhesion molecule present in epithelial cells. Anti-E-cadherin stains glandular epithelium, as well as lung, gastrointestinal, and ovarian adenocarcinomas. A panel of antibodies against E-cadherin and p120 is also used to differentiate ductal (membranous staining) and lobular breast cancer (cytoplasmic staining). Anti-E-cadherin also stains some thyroid cancers.
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase present in gliocytes, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and other cell types. EGFR is overexpressed in various cancers including those of the colon, pancreas, oropharynx, stomach, and non–small cell lung, as well as head and neck squamous carcinoma and anal squamous carcinoma. EGFR expression is common in breast cancer, especially in triple-negative and basal-like breast carcinomas, and recent research has also found EGFR expressed in malignant bone and soft tissue cancers. Anti-EGFR is useful for detecting epithelioid and synovial sarcoma.
Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA) is a mucin glycoprotein expressed on apical epithelial cells. Anti-EMA positively stains normal and neoplastic cells including sweat glands, mammary epithelia, and squamous epithelia. Adrenal carcinoma, seminomas, paraganglioma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and embryonal carcinomas exhibit a negative stain. As Anti-EMA commonly reacts positively with meningioma, it is useful for differentiating this tumour from other intracranial neoplasms such as schwannomas.

Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell adhesion in epithelia. It is normally present on most baso-lateral surfaces of normal epithelial cells and is absent in myoepithelial cells, hepatocytes, adult squamous epithelia, mesothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Anti-EpCAM stains most adenocarcinomas and neuroendocrine tumours, including small cell carcinomas. A minority of renal clear cell carcinoma, renal oncocytoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma stain positively for EpCAM, while Anti-EpCAM stains nearly all basal cell carcinoma. Anti-EpCAM stains chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma more frequently. Anti-EpCAM can be useful for distinguishing malignancy in the peritoneal and pleural cavities.
Excision Repair Cross Complementing 1 (ERCC1) is a DNA repair enzyme involved in the repair of UV-induced DNA damage. ERCC1 overexpression is associated with tumour progression in many malignancies, such as ovarian cancer, head squamous cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and esophageal cancer.
Erythroblastosis Virus E26 Transforming Sequence Related Gene (ERG) facilitates endothelial homeostasis. ERG is found in malignant and benign vascular endothelial tumours, including hemangiomas and Kaposi's sarcoma. ERG is present in various prostate carcinomas, but is absent in breast, colon, and urothelium carcinomas. Anti-ERG is useful for differentiating prostate carcinoma from non-prostatic epithelial tumours, and for recognizing vascular endothelial neoplasms.
Estrogen Receptors (ER) are a group of nuclear hormone receptors activated by the hormone estrogen. ER is found in normal epithelial cells of the breast and endometrium, as well as in breast cancer cells.
Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) is a methylase of histone H3 that silences gene expression in those regions. EZH2 is overexpressed or mutated in gastric, prostate, uterine, breast, and renal cell cancers, as well as in melanoma and most B- and T-cell lymphomas. Although EZH2 is usually present in follicular centers, it is not expressed in the mantle zones, plasma cells, follicular or interfollicular T-lymphocytes, natural killer T-lymphocytes, plasmacytoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, or MALT lymphoma. EZH2 is rarely present in normal breast duct epithelium and in normal and hyperplastic lymph node. Anti-EZH2 is also useful for detecting lymphoma and non-small cell lung cancers. EZH2 is associated with tumour proliferation and can be used in staining panels to distinguish aggressive lymphomas from less aggressive lymphomas or normal cells.

FOXP3 is a forkhead transcription factor family member which plays a key role in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell function and represents a specific marker for these cells. Specifically in IHC, FOXP3 is a marker for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). In normal lymphoid tissues, a T-cell subset in interfollicular areas shows nuclear staining. There are many characteristics of FOXP3s role in cancer, which involves tumour progression through the suppression of T-cell activity and oncogene suppression through suppressing the expression of HER2, Skp2, SATB1 and MYC oncogenes.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) allows for progression of ovarian folliculogenesis, and enables Sertoli cell proliferation in the testis. Anti-FSH reacts with FSH-producing cells, and therefore FSH staining is useful for classifying pituitary cancers and understanding pituitary disease.
Galectin-3 is a lectin involved in cell adhesion, macrophage activation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and apoptosis. Anti-Galectin-3 is useful for distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms. Galectin-3 is also useful for recognizing anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
GATA3 is a transcription factor important in cell proliferation, development, and differentiation. GATA3 is mostly observed in breast and urothelial carcinomas, and is rarely present in other cancers such as endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Among the breast carcinomas, GATA3 has a lower expression in luminal B subtype breast carcinoma. Studies have found GATA3 expression to be associated with ER (estrogen receptor), PR (progesterone receptor), and HER2 in breast cancer cases. Urothelial carcinomas stain positively for GATA3 in invasive or high grade tumours, therefore Anti-GATA3 is useful for carcinoma diagnosis when those of the breast and bladder are plausible.
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein that is present in astrocytes and some ependymal cells of the central nervous system. In the peripheral nervous system, GFAP is present in Schwann cells, enteric glial cells, and satellite cells. Anti-GFAP staining is useful in differentiating neoplasms of astrocyte origin from other neoplasms in the central nervous system.

Glucose transporter type I (GLUT1), also known as SCL2A1, is a glucose transporter present in the blood-brain barrier and erythrocytes. GLUT1 overexpression is associated with tumour progression or poor prognoses of bladder, breast, cervical, colon, and lung carcinomas, as well as mesothelioma. Anti-GLUT1 is useful for distinguishing malignant mesothelioma (GLUT1(+)) from reactive mesothelium (GLUT1(-)).
Glutamine Synthetase (GS-6 or GS) catalyzes the conversion of glutamate and ammonia to glutamine in the liver, and is expressed in pericentral hepatocytes, but not in periportal hepatocytes or in the mid-zonal. Anti-Glutamine Synthetase is useful in some hepatocellular carcinomas and many high grade dysplastic nodules, and therefore may be useful in recognizing these cases. A panel of antibodies against HSP70 (heat shock protein 70), GPC3, and glutamine synthetase is useful for differentiating dysplastic from early malignant hepatocellular nodules in cirrhosis. GS staining of hepatocellular lesions is useful for the differential diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), hepatic adenoma (HCA), dysplastic nodules, and low grade hepatocellular carcinoma. FNH produces a “map-like” pattern when stained with Anti-Glutamine Synthetase. Conversely, HCA can stain negatively, produce border staining, or stain around the tumour veins.
Glycophorin A (GPA) and Glycophorin B (GPB) are erythrocyte blood group determinants that minimize erythrocyte aggregation during the circulation of blood. Anti-Glycophorin A is useful for understanding erythroid cell development and identifying erythroid leukemias.
Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a GPI-anchored proteoglycan involved in cell division and growth regulation. Glypican-3 is a useful tumour marker, and its expression has been shown to be upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatoblastoma, melanoma, testicular germ cell tumours, and Wilms' tumour. Patients with HCC have presented elevated levels of GPC3 in the neoplastic liver tissues and serum, levels which are higher than detected in cirrhotic liver or liver with focal lesions, including those with hepatic adenoma and dysplastic nodules. Glypican-3 is also overexpressed in testicular germ cell tumours of certain subtypes, such as yolk sac tumours and choriocarcinoma, and in embryonal tumours.
Anti-Hairy Cell Leukemia stains various B-cells in the follicular mantle zone and virtually all cases of hairy cell leukemia. It also stains some high grade B-cell lymphomas.
The HBcAg [IHC205] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy, the presence of associated antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections using immunohistochemistry test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, subsequent to clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of chronic HBV infection tissue within the context of antibody panels, the patients clinical history and other diagnositc tests as evaluated by a qualified pathologist.

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) contains the large (L), middle (M), and small (S) surface proteins of the Hepatitis-B-Virus (HBV). It is the surface antigen of HBV, indicating current Hepatitis B infection. The body produces antibodies to HBsAg as part of the normal immune response to infection. Immunohistochemical staining for HBsAg in liver tissue is useful for the detection of HBV.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta after conception. Anti-hCG is useful for identifying trophoblastic tumours, such as choriocarcinoma. hCG is also a marker for non-trophoblastic tumours such as large cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma.
Anti-Kappa recognizes surface immunoglobulin on normal and neoplastic B-cells, and has been indicated as a potential aid in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, where the expression of a single light chain class is restricted. The determination of light chain ratio is critical in evaluating B-cell neoplasms, as the majority of B-cell lymphomas express either kappa or lambda light chains, while a mixture of kappa and lambda is characteristic of reactive proliferations. In paraffin-embedded tissue, Anti-Kappa displays strong staining of kappa-positive plasma cells, as well as cells that have absorbed exogenous immunoglobulins.

KBA.62, also known as Melanoma Associated Antigen, is used to detect an antigen present in melanocytic tumours, such as melanomas, due to its proven sensitivity and specificity. The antibody can also be used to distinguish between junctional nevus and intradermal nevus cells, and fetal melanocytes versus normal adult melanocytes. Studies have shown KBA.62 to be highly useful in differentiating between metastatic amelanotic melanoma and a number of poorly differentiated carcinomas, large cell lymphomas, sarcomas, and spindle cell carcinomas.

Ki-67 is a nuclear, non-histone protein that is expressed only during active phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2 and M), but not in the resting phases (G0 and G1 early phase). Although the antigen has also been associated with ribosomal RNA transcription, it is strongly linked to cell proliferation and has thus been indicated as an effective marker in grading the proliferation rate of tumours, including those of the brain, breast, cervix, and prostate.

LAG3 (Lymphocyte-activation gene 3) was discovered in 1990 and was previously designated as CD223. LAG3 is a cell surface molecule expressed by activated T cells, natural killer cells, B cells and plasmacytoiddendritic cells. It binds to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and serves as an immune checkpoint receptor. LAG3 negatively regulates cellular proliferation, activation and homeostasisof T cells, and plays a role in Treg suppressive function. LAG3 also helps maintain CD8+ T cells in atolerogenic state and, working with PD-1, helps maintain CD8 exhaustion during chronic viral infection. LAG3 expression was detected in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. IHC revealed LAG3 expression was distributed on lymphocytes scattered in renal cell carcinoma, melanoma and lymphomas. They were also detected in the tumor stroma as well as in the peritumoral tissue. LAG3 is the target of various drug development programs for cancer and autoimmune disorders. In soluble form, it is also being developed as a cancer drug in its own right.

Immunoglobulin classes share the same basic four polypeptide chain structure of two heavy chains (five types) and two light chains - kappa and lambda. The determination of light chain ratio is critical in evaluating B-cell neoplasms, as the majority of B-cell lymphomas express either kappa or lambda light chains, while a mixture of kappa and lambda is characteristic of reactive proliferations. Antibodies against lambda light chain is reportedly useful in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
LMO2, also known as LIM-Only Transcription Factor 2, RBTN2, or TTG2, is an oncoprotein that is expressed in normal germinal center B-cells, as well as bone marrow hematopoietic precursors and endothelial cells. LMO2 plays a role in angiogenesis and hematopoesis, and its expression has been detected in erythroid and myeloid precursors, megakaryocytes, and also in lymphoblastic and acute myeloid leukemias. LMO2 protein expression has been noted in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as follicular lymphoma, a neoplasm derived from germinal center B-cells that accounts for a number of cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a reproductive hormone produced and secreted by the gonadotropes in the anterior pituitary gland. LH functions to stimulate ovulation in females and the production of testosterone from the Leydig cells in males. This hormone is useful for the study of pituitary disease, and acts as a clinical marker that is useful for classifying tumours of the pituitary.
MART-1, also known as Melan A or Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T-Cells 1, is a protein antigen found specifically on melanocytes of normal skin, retina, and nevi, and not in other normal tissues. Anti-MART-1 is therefore useful as a marker for melanocytic tumours, and as an aid in establishing the diagnosis of metastatic melanomas.

Mouse Double Minute 2 Homolog (MDM2), also known as HDM2 in humans, is crucial in negative regulation of the p53 tumour suppressor. Negative regulation is mediated through both the ubiquitination of p53/TP53, as well as inhibition of p53 transcriptional activation. Reports have indicated an overexpression of MDM2 to be associated with a number of different human tumour types, including soft tissue sarcomas, osteosarcomas, and breast tumours. When co-overexpressed with the CDK4 protein, MDM2 can also aid in the detection of well-differentiated liposarcomas and de-differentiated liposarcoma.
MutL Homolog 1 (MLH1) is a protein involved in the mismatch-repair pathway. This protein is commonly associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, as the MLH1 gene is frequently mutated in patients with this cancer. Studies have shown MLH1 to be deficient in a high percentage of patients with microsatellite instability, as well as endometrial and ovarian cancers. Use of Anti-MLH1 is optimized when paired in an IHC panel with MSH6, MSH2, and PMS2. Anti-MLH1 is useful in the detection of MLH1 in a number of normal and neoplastic tissues, and for identifying a loss of MLH1 in tumours that are microsatellite-unstable.
MutS Homolog 2 (MSH2) is a protein involved in the mismatch-repair pathway. This protein is commonly associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, and mutations in this gene are correlated with the development of sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Expression levels of MSH2 are abnormally low in a high percentage of patients with microsatellite instability, as well as endometrial and ovarian cancers. Use of Anti-MSH2 is optimized when paired in an IHC panel with antibodies against MSH6, MLH1, and PMS2. Reports have shown Anti-MSH2 to be useful in the detection of the protein in a number of normal and neoplastic tissues, and for identifying a loss of MSH2 in tumours that are microsatellite-unstable.
MutS Homolog 6 (MSH6) is a protein involved in the mismatch repair pathway. This protein is commonly associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, and mutations in this gene are correlated with the development of sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Studies have shown that mutations in MSH6, when co-indicated with mutations in MSH1 and MSH2, contribute to the development of sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Use of Anti-MSH2 is optimized when paired with MSH6, MLH1, and PMS2 in an IHC panel.
Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein involved in a number of protective and cell-signaling functions, including cell-cell adhesion, proliferation, motility, invasion, and survival. Overexpression of MUC1 is clinically indicated in breast carcinomas, papillary thyroid carcinomas, and thymic carcinomas, and reports have named MUC1 as a useful marker for differentiating thymic carcinoma from type B3 thymoma. The expression of MUC1 is correlated with the grade of malignancy in thymic epithelial tumours, and loss of MUC1 expression has been associated with reactive gastropathy. MUC1 is not expressed in normal human epidermis, but it has been detected in the epidermis of psoriatic plaques of biopsies from patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris.

Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) is a secretory-type mucin found in columnar mucous cells of surface gastric epithelium and in goblet cells of the fetal and precancerous colon, but not in normal colon cells. MUC5AC expression is indicated in carcinomas wherein the type is defined as diffuse and infiltrative, and those located mainly in the antrum. Studies have also suggested a correlation between MUC5AC and colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma, with overexpression of MUC5AC relating to the carcinogenesis, malignant potential, progression, and clinical behaviors.
Mucin 6 (MUC6) is a glycoprotein expressed in mucous neck cells, pyloric glands of the antrum, epigastric and bronchial epithelium, and in Müller ducts of the endocervix and urethral epithelium. Anti-MUC6 is useful for differentiating fetal, precancerous, and cancerous colonic mucosa from normal colon, as the antibody does not stain the latter. Anti-MUC6 stains the gastric epithelial surface of normal human gastrointestinal tracts.
Multiple Myeloma Oncogene-1 (MUM1), also known as Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4), is a transcription factor present in a variety of hematolymphoid neoplasms and in malignant melanoma, but is absent from other human tumours. MUM1 expression has been indicated in both pediatric and adult diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and, when the immunostaining status of CD10 and Bcl6 is also considered, Anti-MUM1 can be used to sub-distinguish germinal center type DLBCL from the non-germinal center type. Anti-MUM1 stains normal melanocytes, melanocytic nevi, and malignant melanoma in non-hematopoietic tissues, and can also stain other B-cell lymphomas such as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, grade 3 follicular lymphoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt-like lymphoma, and classic Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Myogenin belongs to a family of myogenic transcription factors, including MyoD, Myf5, and MRF4, which are critical in muscle development. Myogenin is found strictly in cells of skeletal muscle origin, and is therefore used as a biomarker for tumours of the muscle lineage, including alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas. Anti-Myogenin staining may occur in Wilms' tumour, and it labels the nuclei of myoblasts in developing muscle tissue. It is also expressed in some leiomyosarcomas.
Smooth Muscle-Myosin is a major component of smooth muscle contractile apparatus. IHC detection of Myosin, Smooth Muscle visulizes the myoepithelial cell present in both normal and in situ malignant breast and bronchioloalveolar lesions and serves a valuable biomarker to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors.

Nanog is a homeoprotein that functions with pluripotent factors, such as Oct-4 and SOX2, to maintain embryonic stem cell pluripotency. Expression of this protein has been noted in seminoma, dysgerminoma, embryonal carcinoma, and other undifferentiated germ cell tumours, while Nanog expression is absent in normal adult organ tissues. Anti-Nanog may be useful in distinguishing between undifferentiated germ cell tumours and non-germ cell tumours.
Napsin A is a pepsin-like aspartic proteinase that is closely related to Napsin B. It is expressed mainly in the lung and kidney, and is involved in the correct folding, targeting, and control of aspartic proteinase zymogens. Napsin A expression has been indicated in type II pneumocytes and adenocarcinomas of the lung and kidney. Anti-Napsin A is also useful for differentiating between primary lung adenocarcinomas and adenocarcinomas of other organs, due to the high expression of Napsin A in adenocarcinomas of the lung.
N-cadherin, also known as Cadherin-2 (CDH2) or Neural Cadherin (NCAD), is a transmembrane cell adhesion molecule that was originally detected in nervous tissue. It plays an important role in embryogenesis, being involved in gastrulation and neural crest development. N-cadherin is found in cancer cells and allows for transendothelial migration, which is a critical process in the metastasis of cancer. Overexpression and disorderly arrangement of N-cadherin has been noted in dilated cardiomyopathy. It has been suggested that, when considered in adjunct with the status of a number of additional cell-cell adhesion molecules, missense mutations in N-cadherin may be a potential indicator of obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette disorder.
Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR), also known as p75, P-75NTR, or CD271, is a neurotrophin receptor belonging to the tumour necrosis factor receptor family. It is expressed mainly in Schwann cells and neurons, as well as a number of other non-neuronal cell types, and is also expressed in melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, neurofibromas, neurotized nevi (type C melanocytes), and other neural crest cell or tumour derivatives. It has been suggested that NGFR may act as a tumour suppressor indicated in prostate and urothelial cancer, and Anti-NGFR is often used in adjunct with S100, to aid in the diagnosis of desmoplastic and neurotrophic malignant melanomas. Anti-NGFR is also useful as an aid in the diagnosis of breast malignancy, as the antibody labels the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts and intralobular fibroblasts of breast ducts.

Neurofilaments are a group of intermediate filaments found abundantly around the axons of vertebrate neurons. They are also expressed in paragangliomas, adrenal pheochromocytomas, Merkel cell tumours, carcinoid tumours, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and oat cell carcinomas of the lung. Anti-Neurofilament stains a variety of neural, neuroendocrine, and endocrine tumours, such as neuromas, ganglioneuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and neuroblastomas.
CD42b (GPIb alpha) composes together with GPIb beta, GPIX and GPV the GPIb-IX-V receptor complex critical in the process of platelet-rich thrombus formation by tethering the platelet to a thrombogenic surface. CD42b binds to von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at a site of vascular injury, as well as to thrombin, coagulation factors XI and XII, high molecular weight kininogen, TSP-1, integrin Mac-1 and P-selectin. The extracellular domain of CD42b by its interactions also contributes to metastasis.

CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin) is a transmembrane mucin-like protein with high negative charge, expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells. CD43 contributes to a repulsive barrier that interferes with cellular adhesion, however, in certain cases also promotes leukocyte aggregation. By interaction with actin-binding proteins ezrin and moesin CD43 plays a regulatory role in remodeling T-cell morphology and regulates cell-cell interactions during lymphocyte traffic. CD43 signaling both enhances LFA-1 adhesiveness and counteracts LFA-1 induction via other receptors. Expression of CD43 causes induction of functionally active tumour suppressor p53 protein, but in case of p53 and ARF defficiency CD43 promotes tumour proliferation and viability. It appears to be an important modulator of leukocyte functions.

CD199 (CCR9) is a G-protein-coupled 7 TM chemokine receptor for TECK (SCYA25) chemokine. It is expressed strongly in thymus, at lower level in bone marrow and spleen, as well as on a subset of memory T cells specialized for mucosal homing. CD199 appears to confer homing properties to the small intestine on memory T cells. On the other hand it functions as a coreceptor for HIV-1.

CD200R is a transmembrane glycoprotein, expressed on the surface of myeloid cells. Its interaction with CD200 leads in these cells to a downregulatory signal. This interaction may control myeloid function in a tissue-specific manner. Alternative splicing of CD200R gene results in multiple transcript variants. These isoforms may play a role in differentiation, e.g. regards tolerogenic dendritic cells. Besides myeloid cells, CD200R can be found also on a T cell subset.
CD44 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of most cells, which serves as a receptor for hyaluronan. CD44 mediates angiogenesis, cell adhesion, proliferation and migration, it is thus important for lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, it can thus serve e.g. as a modulator of macrophage recruitment in response to pathogen. Although CD44 functions are essential for physiological activities of normal cells, elevated CD44 expression correlates with poor prognosis in many carcinomas, facilitating tumour growth and metastasis, antiapoptosis and directional motility of cancer cells.

CD1a, together with CD1b and c, belongs to group 1 of CD1 glycoproteins. These proteins serve as antigen-presenting molecules for a subset of T cells that responds to specific lipids and glycolipids found in the cell walls of bacterial pathogens or self-glycolipid antigens such as gangliosides, and they have also roles in antiviral immunity. Unlike CD1b, CD1a is excluded from late endosomal compartments and instead traffics independently in the recycling pathway of the early endocytic system, and CD1a antigen presentation is independent upon vesicular acidification.

CD205, also known as DEC-205, is an endocytic receptor of macrophage mannose receptor family. This 205 kDa C-type lectin transmembrane protein mediates adsorptive uptake and its intracellular domain contains coated pit localization sequence and distal acidic motif, which is required for recycling beyond early endosomes through deeper MHC II+ late endosomes and lysosomes. This unique pathway of receptor-mediated uptake proves to be necessary for presentation of antigenic peptides at low doses of ligand. CD205 is responsible for uptake and processing of captured antigens for dendritic cells.

The antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) is composed of either alpha and beta subunit, or gamma and delta subunit. Majority of T cells present in the blood, lymph and secondary lymphoid organs express TCR alpha/beta heterodimers, whereas the T cells expressing TCR gamma/delta heterodimers are localized mainly in epithelial tissues and at the sites of infection. The subunits of TCR heterodimers are covalently bonded and in the endoplasmic reticulum they associate with CD3 subunits to form functional TCR-CD3 complex. Lack of expression of any of the chains is sufficient to stop cell surface expression.
NKp80, also known as CLEC5C or KLRF1, is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein of the C lectin family, which is expressed in 80 kDa homodimers on NK cells, and subsets of CD8+ alpha/beta T cells, and gamma/delta T cells. It belongs to the activating coreceptors, which induce cytotoxicity, and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Its ligand AICL is expressed on myeloid cells.
TCR Vdelta2 is a variant of TCR delta chain, that is present on a major subset of human gamma/delta T cells. TCR Vgamma9/Vdelta2 (or Vgamma2/Vdelta2) T cells are able to recognize and kill various tumor cells, as this receptor heterodimer binds to certain phosphoantigens, expressed by tumors. They can recognize these antigens in an MHC-unrestricted manner. Similarly to NK cells, Vdelta2 T cells express MHC I receptors and killer Ig-like receptors, that are involved in tumor recognition and cytolysis. The potently cytotoxic subset of them is identified by cell surface expression of polysialyated CD56.

Alpha-beta T cell receptors (TCRs) are antigen specific receptors, which are essential to the immune response and are present on the cell surface of T lymphocytes. They recognize peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complexes (pMHCs), that are displayed by antigen presenting cells (APCs). Binding of alpha-beta TCR to pMHC initiates TCR-CD3 clustering on the cell surface and intracellular activation of LCK, that phosphorylates the ITAM motifs of CD3gamma, CD3delta, CD3epsilon and CD3zeta, enabling the recruitment of ZAP70. In turn, ZAP70 phosphorylates LAT, which recruits numerous signaling molecules to form the LAT signalosome. The LAT signalosome propagates signal branching to three major signaling pathways, the calcium signaling, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase and the nuclear factor NFkappaB (NF-kB) pathways, leading to the mobilization of transcription factors, that are critical for gene expression and essential for T cell growth and differentiation. The T cell repertoire is generated by V-D-J-C rearrangements. This repertoire is then shaped by intrathymic selection events to generate a peripheral T cell pool of self-MHC restricted, non-autoaggressive T cells. Post-thymic interaction of alpha-beta TCRs with the pMHCs shapes TCR structural and functional avidity.

CD3 complex is crucial in transducing antigen-recognition signals into the cytoplasm of T cells and in regulating the cell surface expression of the TCR complex. T cell activation through the antigen receptor (TCR) involves the cytoplasmic tails of the CD3 subunits CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon and CD3 zeta. These CD3 subunits are structurally related members of the immunoglobulins super family encoded by closely linked genes on human chromosome 11. The CD3 components have long cytoplasmic tails that associate with cytoplasmic signal transduction molecules. This association is mediated at least in part by a double tyrosine-based motif present in a single copy in the CD3 subunits. CD3 may play a role in TCR-induced growth arrest, cell survival and proliferation. The CD3 antigen is present on 68-82% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, 65-85% of thymocytes and Purkynje cells in the cerebellum. It is never expressed on B or NK cells. Decreased percentages of T lymphocytes may be observed in some autoimmune diseases.

TIAR is an ubiquitously expressed RNA-binding protein, which regulates translational control, splicing, and other activities, including apoptosis. TIAR attenuates CDK1 activity, and is essential for the G2/M checkpoint. It accumulates in nuclear foci in late G2 phase and prophase in cells under replication stress. In steady state TIAR shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus, probably as a part of nucleocytoplasmic transport of mRNA, but under stress conditions it accumulates mRNA molecules in granules and prevents their translation. Nucleolytic activity of TIAR against attacked target cells of cytotoxic lymphocytes has also been reported. Similarly, e.g. in permeabilized thymocytes TIAR triggers DNA fragmentation.

The microtubules are intracellular dynamic polymers made up of evolutionarily conserved polymorphic alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimers and a large number of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). The microtubules consist of 13 protofilaments and have an outer diameter 25 nm. Microtubules have their intrinsic polarity; highly dynamic plus ends and less dynamic minus ends. Microtubules are required for vital processes in eukaryotic cells including mitosis, meiosis, maintenance of cell shape and intracellular transport. Microtubules are also necessary for movement of cells by means of flagella and cilia. In mammalian tissue culture cells microtubules have their minus ends anchored in microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). The GTP (guanosintriphosphate) molecule is an essential for tubulin heterodimer to associate with other heterodimers to form microtubule. In vivo, microtubule dynamics vary considerably. Microtubule polymerization is reversible and a populations of microtubules in cells are on their minus ends either growing or shortening – this phenomenon is called dynamic instability of microtubules. On a practical level, microtubules can easily be stabilized by the addition of non-hydrolysable analogues of GTP (eg. GMPPCP) or more commonly by anti-cancer drugs such as Taxol. Taxol stabilizes microtubules at room temperature for many hours. Using limited proteolysis by enzymes both tubulin subunits can be divided into N-terminal and C-terminal structural domains. The alpha-tubulin (relative molecular weight around 50 kDa) is globular protein that exists in cells as part of soluble alpha/beta-tubulin dimer or it is polymerized into microtubules. In different species it is coded by multiple tubulin genes that form tubulin classes (in human 6 genes). Expressed tubulin genes are named tubulin isotypes. Some of the tubulin isotypes are expressed ubiquitously, while some have more restricted tissue expression. Alpha-tubulin is also subject of numerous post-translational modifications. Tubulin isotypes and their posttranslational modifications are responsible for multiple tubulin charge variants - tubulin isoforms. Heterogeneity of alpha-tubulin is concentrated in C-terminal structural domain.
CD98 (4F2) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein which serves as the heavy chain of the heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HATs). CD98, linked to various light chains by disulfide bond, is responsible for cell surface expression and basolateral localization of this transporter complex in polarized epithelial cells and also interacts with beta1 integrins and increases their affinity for ligand. Besides its roles in amino acid transport, CD98 is thus involved in cell fusion and activation. It is implicated in regulation of cellular differentiation, growth and apoptosis.

CD270 is a type I transmembrane protein of the TNFR superfamily, which is expressed on resting T cells, monocytes, and immature dendritic cells. Its ligands, CD258 and CD272, differ in effect on CD270 signaling. Whereas binding to CD258 provides a costimulatory signal, binding to CD272 gives to the cell an inhibitory signal. CD270 also is recognized by herpes simplex glycoprotein D. CD258-CD270 interaction and signaling is implicated in macrophage-derived foam cell-mediated development of atherosclerotic lesions.
HLA-class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins expressed on nucleated cells and noncovalently associated with an invariant beta2 microglobulin. They carry foreign determinants important for immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells, thus important for anti-viral and anti-tumour defence. Human HLA-class I antigens are represented by HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C molecules.

C3aR is a 7TM transmembrane protein associated with G proteins, and serves as a receptor for C3a complement fragment. It is expressed mainly on neutrophils, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Upon detection of its ligand, the activated C3aR signaling cascade results in degranulation, superoxide production, and chemotaxis.
C5aR2, also known as C5L2, is one of two receptors for C5a (anaphylatoxin). It is coexpressed with C5aR1 (CD88) in neutrophils, as well as e.g. in mast cells, astrocytes, or macrophages, and seems to have both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory roles, depending on circumstances. Unlike CD88, C5aR2 is not coupled to G-protein, thus the modulatory role is more likely.

CD30 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the TNF receptor superfamily. CD30 was originally identified as a cell surface antigen of Hodgkins and Reed-Sternberg cells using monoclonal antibody Ki-1. The ligand for CD30 is CD30L (CD153). The binding of CD30 to CD30L mediates pleiotropic effects including cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, and apoptotic cell death. CD30 has a critical role in the pathophysiology of Hodgkin's disease and other CD30+ lymphomas. CD30 acts as a costimulatory molecule in thymic negative selection. In addition to its expression on Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells, CD30 is also found in some non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (including Burkitt's lymphomas), virus-infected T and B cells, and on normal T and B cells after activation. In T cells, CD30 expression is present on a subset of T cells that produce Th2-type cytokines and on CD4+/CD8+ thymocytes that co-express CD45RO and the IL4 receptor. Soluble form of CD30 (sCD30) serves as a marker reflecting Th2 immune response.

CD162 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, PSGL-1) is a sialomucin constitutively expressed as a disulfide-linked homodimer of two 120 kDa subunits on the surface of circulating leukocytes. CD162 serves as a ligand for P- E- and L-selectin, with the highest affinity for P-selectin. It is thus involved in leukocyte rolling at the endothelial surfaces, prerequisite for firm leukocyte adhesion and subsequent transendothelial migration. CD162 also mediates leukocyte-platelet adhesion and interleukocyte contacts. Whereas serving as an adhession molecule on mature leukocytes, CD162 is a potent negative regulator of human hematopoietic progenitors.

CD3 complex is crucial in transducing antigen-recognition signals into the cytoplasm of T cells and in regulating the cell surface expression of the TCR complex. T cell activation through the antigen receptor (TCR) involves the cytoplasmic tails of the CD3 subunits CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon and CD3 zeta. These CD3 subunits are structurally related members of the immunoglobulins super family encoded by closely linked genes on human chromosome 11. The CD3 components have long cytoplasmic tails that associate with cytoplasmic signal transduction molecules. This association is mediated at least in part by a double tyrosine-based motif present in a single copy in the CD3 subunits. CD3 may play a role in TCR-induced growth arrest, cell survival and proliferation. The CD3 antigen is present on 68-82% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, 65-85% of thymocytes and Purkynje cells in the cerebellum. It is never expressed on B or NK cells. Decreased percentages of T lymphocytes may be observed in some autoimmune diseases.

The Rb protein regulates differentiation, apoptosis, and cell cycle control by coordinating the cell cycle at G1-S with transcriptional machinery. During G1, cyclin D-dependent kinase-mediated phosphorylation of Rb at Ser-795 marks the conversion of Rb from a transcriptionally repressive, hypophosphorylated state to an inactive, phosphorylated state, which may be sustained through mitosis by differential phosphorylation of up to 16 putative serine or threonine residues. Pediatric cancer retinoblastoma and the formation of other human tumors can be attributed to mutations in the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene(Rb).

CD58 (LFA-3) is an immunoglobulin family adhession molecule expressed by both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells (often on antigen presenting cells) and serving as ligand of CD2. This interaction is important for T cell-mediated immunity. CD58 is expressed in transmembrane form and in GPI-anchored form; the later is constitutively associated with protein kinases whereas the transmembrane form activates kinase activity upon triggering. CD58 is a powerful tool for detection of minimal residual disease in acute lymphocytic leukemia, and for evaluation of liver damage related with hepatitis B.
CD47 (integrin-associated protein, IAP) is an ubiquitously expressed cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein interacting with several integrins and regulating their functions. Engagement of CD47 by soluble ligands or counter receptors modulates various signaling pathways, such as activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. Binding secreted thrombospondin-1, CD47 counteracts graft vascularization. CD47 acts also as a ligand for CD172a (signal regulatory protein alpha, SIRP alpha), an immune inhibitory receptor on macrophages; this interaction prevents phagocytosis of CD47-positive cells. Moreover, CD47-CD172a system affects cell migration, B cell adhesion and T cell activation. CD47 is also involved in modulation of chondrocyte responses to mechanical signals, and promotes neuronal development, being especially abundant in synapse-rich regions of brain and retina.

CD38 (NAD+ glycohydrolase) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein able to induce activation, proliferation and differentiation of mature lymphocytes and mediate apoptosis of myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cells. Another role of CD38 is provided by enzymatic activity of its extracellular part. CD38 acts as NAD+ glycohydrolase converting NAD+ into ADP-ribose, as ADP-ribosyl cyclase producing cADPR and as cADPR hydrolase, thus affecting levels of calcium-mobilizing metabolites. ADPR produced by CD38 serves as an important second messenger of neutrophil and dendritic cell migration.

Interaction between CD62P and its mucin-like ligand PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1) expressed on the microvilli of most leukocytes supports leukocyte rolling along postkapillary venules at the earliest time of inflammation. Both CD62P and PSGL-1 are extended glycoproteins that form homodimers. CD62P dimerization is probably mediated through interactions of the transmembrane domains and stabilizes leukocyte tethering and rolling, probably by increasing rebinding within a bond cluster.

It binds to collagen IV and laminin 1. It is important for leukocyte migration into tissues. It is upregulated in inflammatory tissues, such as inflammed intestine.
CD367 is an approximately 20-28 kDa C-type lectin with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic part. CD367 binds in calcium-dependent manner to mannose, fucose, and weakly also to N-acetylglucosamine. It is expressed on dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, B cells, and neutrophils. In rheumatoid arthitis patients CD367 is expressed also on CD4+ T cells. After ligand-mediated triggering, it is internalized by clathrin-dependent endocytosis and contributes to the antigen presentation to CD8+ T cells. It may also be involved in modulation of the antigen presenting cell response.
CD329 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of siglec family, which contains intracellular ITIM motif, and a SLAM-like motif, that acts as a docking site for SAP. CD329 can regulate TCR signaling by recruitment of SHP-1, which results in down-regulation of TCR-based gene transcription. It is expressed above all on monocytes, neutrophils, and a minor population of CD16+CD56- cells, weaker expression is detectable in some B cells, NK cells, and T cells.
CD52 (CAMPATH-1, HE5) is a highly glycosylated GPI-anchored 21-28 kDa glycopeptide which is present at high levels on lymphocytes, macrophages, epithelial cells of male reproductive tract and mature sperm. Its 12-amino acid beckbone carries a complex N-linked carbohydrate moiety, which differs between sperm and leukocyte CD52, as well as the GPI anchor does. CD52 can be acquired by sperm cells from seminal plasma, where it is released by epithelial cells. Although CD52 is not an essential T-cell costimulator, its triggering results in activation of normal human T cells. CD52 is a very good target for antibody/complement-mediated cell lysis.

CD74 (the MHC II-associated invariant chain, Ii) is a type II transmembrane protein expressed in antigen-presenting cells, that serves as MHC II chaperone which promotes MHC II trafficking from the ER to endocytic compartments, prevents peptide binding in the ER and contributes to peptide editing in the MHC II compartment; it is also an accessory signaling molecule implicated e.g. in malignant B cell proliferation. Stimulation of cell surface CD74 leads to NFkappaB activation, which enables entry of the stimulated cell into the S phase. CD74 binds pro-inflammatory cytokine MIF with high affinity and interacts with CD44. Binding of Vpu, an HIV1 protein, to CD74 modulates MHC II presentation.

CD79b (Ig beta, B29) forms disulfide-linked heterodimer with CD79a (Ig alpha, MB1). They both are transmembrane proteins with extended cytoplasmic domains containing immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motives (ITAMs), and together with cell surface immunoglobulin they constitute B-cell antigen-specific receptor (BCR). CD79a and b are the first components of BCR that are expressed developmentally. They appear on pro-B cells in association with the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calnexin. Subsequently, in pre-B cells, CD79 heterodimer is associated with lambda5-VpreB surrogate immunoglobulin and later with antigen-specific surface immunoglobulins. CD79a/b complex interacts with Src-family tyrosine kinase Lyn, which phosphorylates its cytoplasmic ITAM motives to form docking sites for downstream signaling.

The Plus AP Kit, Broad Spectrum is based on the streptavidin-biotin system. It is designed for the qualitative detection of antigens in fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, in frozen tissue sections, and in cytological samples. The kit is developed for use in combination with mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from mouse, rabbit, rat, and guinea pig. The Plus AP Kit, Broad Spectrum can be used for examining tissues fixed in different solutions, e.g. formalin (neutrally buffered), B5, Bouin, ethanol, or HOPE.
The purpose of the immunohistochemical staining is to make tissue and cell antigens visible. The Plus AP Kits, Broad Spectrum is a highly sensitive detection kit intended for use in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry. The method is based on the streptavidin-biotin system which means that a biotinylated secondary antibody binds to several molecules of a conjugate composed of streptavidin and alkaline phosphatase. Visualisation occurs via an enzyme-substrate reaction in the presence of a colourising reagent which permits microscopical analysis. The biotinylated secondary antibody in the Plus AP Kit, Broad Spectrum is polyvalent. With this kit it is therefore possible to detect mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from mouse, rabbit, rat, and guinea pig.
Principle of method:
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections are first deparaffinised and rehydrated. Background staining caused by unspecific binding of the primary or secondary antibody is minimized via incubation with a protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution provided with the kit). This step can be omitted if the primary antibodies are diluted in an appropriate buffer. The next step is incubation with the specific primary antibody. After washing, the biotinylated secondary antibody is applied and incubated. This secondary antibody functions as a link between primary antibody and streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase-conjugate (Streptavidin-AP-Conjugate). A second washing is followed by the application of this conjugate. It binds to biotin at the secondary antibody. Any excess of unbound streptavidin-AP-conjugate is thoroughly washed away after incubation. The addition of the chromogenic substrate starts the enzymatic reaction of the alkaline phosphatase which leads to colour precipitation where the primary antibody is bound. The colour can be observed with a light microscope. The chromogen used determines the colour. The chromogen Permanent Red (included only in kit MON-APP110) leads to the formation of a magenta-red product of reaction at the place of the target antigen. Other suitable chromogens are Permanent AP Red (magenta-red) or NBT (blue-black) with its substrate BCIP.
Reagents provided:
8 ml Blocking Solution Reagent 1 (ready-to-use) 8 ml Biotinylated Secondary Antibody, polyvalent Reagent 2 (ready-to-use) 8 ml Streptavidin-AP-Conjugate Reagent 3 (ready-to-use) 8 x 5 ml Permanent Red Buffer (Substrate Buffer) 2 ml Permanent Red Concentrate (Chromogen) Substrate systems recommended (if not included in the kit): Permanent AP Red Kit, BCIP/NBT Materials required but not supplied Positive und negative control tissue Xylene or suitable substitutes Ethanol, distilled H2O Reagents for enzyme digestion or heat pre-treatment Wash buffer PBS or TBS PAP Pen Primary antibody (user-defined) Primary antibody diluent Negative control reagent Chromogenic substrate Counter stain solution Mounting medium Cover slips
Storage and handling:
The solution should be stored at 2-8°C without further dilution. Please store the reagent in a dark place and do not freeze it. Under these conditions the solution is stable up to the expiry date. It should not be used after the expiry date. A positive and a negative control have to be carried out in parallel to the test material. If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the kit reagents, please contact our technical support .
Reagent preparation:
Reagents should be at room temperature when used. Deparaffinise and rehydrate paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Pre-treatment (optional) with HIER (Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval) or enzymatic digestion.Tissue sections have to be completely covered with the different reagents in order to avoid drying out. Preparation of the chromogenic substrate working solution (with MON-APP110 only): Add 2 drops (60 µl) of Permanent Red Concentrate to one bottle of Permanent Red Buffer (substrate buffer) and mix. This solution should be used directly after preparation.
Procedure:
1. Blocking Solution (protein block, Reagent 1) (This step is optional.) 5 min. 2. Washing with wash buffer 1 x 2 min. 3. Primary antibody (optimally diluted) or negative control reagent 30-60 min. 4. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 5. Biotinylated Secondary Antibody, polyvalent (Reagent 2, yellow) 10-15 min. 6. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 7. Streptavidin-AP-Conjugate (Reagent 3, red) 10-15 min. 8. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 9. Permanent Red substrate-chromogen solution (with MON-APP110) 5 min. 10. Wash with distilled H2O 1 min. 11. Permanent Red substrate-chromogen solution (with MON-APP110) 5 min. 12. Wash with distilled H2O 3 x 1 min. 13. Counterstaining and blueing 14. Mounting: aqueous or permanent after dehydration * The incubation times should be adjusted, when using other substrate-chromogen systems.
Expected results:
During the reaction of the substrate with alkaline phosphatase in the presence of a chromogen, a coloured precipitate is formed at the location of the bound primary antibody. This reaction only takes place if the target antigen is existent in the tissue. The chromogen used determines the colour of the precipitate. The analysis is carried out using a light microscope
Trouble shooting:
If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the reagents, please read these instructions carefully, contact our technical support. No staining on an actually positive control slide: 1. Reagents were not used in the proper order. 2. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. 3. Bleaching because chromogen and mounting medium are incompatible. 4. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pre-treatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 5. Primary antibody not from mouse, rabbit, rat or guinea pig. 6. The antigen was not stable in the fixation and/or pre-treatment procedure used. Try another fixation or pre-treatment. Weak staining: 1. Inadequate fixation or overfixation. 2. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 3. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pre-treatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 4. Excessive incubation with Blocking Solution or insufficient washing after this step. 5. Too much wash buffer remains on the slides after washing, diluting the reagents applied in the next step. 6. If you are using PBS-based wash buffer: the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the reagents is blocked if too much wash buffer remains on the slides. 7. Incubation times were too short or primary antibody concentration too low. 8. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. Non-specific background staining or overstaining: 1. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 2. Excessive tissue adhesive on slides. 3. Insufficient washing especially after the incubation with the enzyme conjugate or the chromogenic substrate solution. These washings are critical. 4. Tissue was allowed to (partially) dry out with reagents on. 5. Unspecific binding of the primary antibody. Please use the Blocking Solution provided with this kit or dilute the primary antibody in appropriate diluents. 6. Incubation time of the primary antibody was too long or primary antibody concentration too high. 7. Incubation time of the chromogenic substrate solution was too long or reaction temperature too high (e.g. if temperature in the laboratory is high). 8. The substrate is metabolized by endogenous alkaline phosphatase in the tissue. This undesired activity can often be suppressed using levamisole (see also Limitations of the procedure). 9. Non-specific binding of the secondary antibody to endogenous biotin in the tissue section. Carry out an avidin-biotin block before incubation with the primary antibody.
Quality Control:
We recommend carrying out a positive and a negative control with every staining run. The positive control permits the validation of appropriate processing of the sample. If the negative control has a positive result, this points to unspecific staining.
Performance characteristics:
Studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the kit reagents. The product has been found to be suitable for the intended use
Limitations of procedure:
Immunohistochemistry is a complex method in which histological as well as immunological detection methods are combined. Tissue processing and handling prior to immunostaining, for example variations in fixation and embedding or the inherent nature of the tissue can cause inconsistent results (Nadji and Morales, 1983). Endogenous alkaline phosphatase activity or the endogenous biotin content may cause non-specific staining. The enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with levamisole. However, neither intestinal nor placental alkaline phosphatase can be blocked with levamisole. Background staining due to endogenous biotin can be blocked through an avidin-biotin blocking step prior to the primary antibody incubation step. Inadequate counterstaining and mounting can influence the interpretation of the results. The colour intensity of the reaction product can decrease with time, especially when exposed to light. Overexposure with the protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution) can result in decreasing signal intensity. Therefore, we recommend washing away the Blocking Solution instead of just draining it away as in other procedures. Sanbio guarantees that the product will meet all requirements described from its shipping date until its expiry date, as long as the product is correctly stored and utilized. No additional guarantees can be given. Under no circumstances shall Sanbio be liable for any damages arising out of the use of the reagent provided.
Precautions:
Use by qualified personnel only. Wear protective clothing to avoid eye, skin or mucous membrane contact with the reagents. In case of a reagent coming into contact with a sensitive area, wash the area with large amounts of water. ProClin 300 and sodium azide (NaN3), used for stabilisation. Sodium azide deposits in drainage pipes made of lead or copper can result in the formation of highly explosive metallic azides. To avoid such deposits in drainage pipes, sodium azide should be discarded in a large volume of running water. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) for the pure substances are available upon request. Microbial contamination of the reagents must be avoided, since otherwise non-specific staining might appear.

Principle of method:
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections are first deparaffinised and rehydrated. Endogenous peroxidase activity in the tissue may cause non-specific staining. This enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with 3% H2O2-solution (Peroxide Block). Background staining caused by unspecific binding of the primary or secondary antibody is minimized by incubation with a protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution). This step can be omitted if the primary antibodies are diluted in an appropriate buffer. The next step is incubation with the specific primary antibody.

Under these conditions the solutions are stable up to the expiry date indicated on the label. They should not be used after the expiry date. A positive and a negative control have to be carried out in parallel to the test material. If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the kit reagents, please contact our technical support.
Reagent preparation:
Reagents should be at room temperature when used. Deparaffinise and rehydrate paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Pre-treatment (optional) with HIER (Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval) or enzymatic digestion. The tissue sections have to be completely covered with the different reagents in order to avoid drying out. Preparation of the chromogenic substrate AEC working solution (with MON-APP114 only): Add 2 drops (100 µl) of AEC Concentrate to one bottle of AEC Substrate Buffer and mix thoroughly. Preparation of the chromogenic substrate DAB working solution (with MON-APP115 only): Add 4 drops (200 µl) of DAB Concentrate to one bottle of DAB Substrate Buffer and mix thoroughly.
Procedure:
1. Peroxide Block (3% H2O2 solution) 10 min. 2. Washing with wash buffer 1 x 2 min. 3. Blocking Solution (protein block, Reagent 1) (This step is optional.) 5 min. 4. Washing with wash buffer 1 x 2 min. 5. Primary antibody (optimally diluted) or negative control reagent 30-60 min. 6. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 7. Biotinylated Secondary Antibody, polyvalent (Reagent 2, yellow) 10-15 min. 8. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 9. Streptavidin-HRP-Conjugate (Reagent 3, red) 10-15 min. 10. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 11. AEC or DAB (Controlling the colour intensity via light microscope is recommended.) 5-15 min. 12. Stopping the reaction with distilled H2O when the desired colour intensity is attained 13. Counterstaining and blueing 14. Mounting: aqueous with AEC, permanent with DAB or Permanent AEC
Expected results:
During the reaction of the substrate with horse radish peroxidase in the presence of a chromogen, a coloured precipitate is formed at the location of the bound primary antibody. This reaction only takes place if the target antigen is existent in the tissue. The chromogen used determines the colour of the precipitate. The analysis is carried out using a light microscope.
Trouble shooting:
If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the reagents, please read these instructions carefully, contact our technical support . No staining on an actually positive control slide: 1. Reagents were not used in the proper order. 2. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. 3. Bleaching because chromogen and mounting medium are incompatible. 4. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pretreatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 5. Primary antibody not from mouse, rabbit, rat or guinea pig. 6. The antigen was not stable in the fixation and/or pre-treatment procedure used. Try another fixation or pre-treatment. Weak staining: 1. Inadequate fixation or overfixation. 2. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 3. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pretreatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 4. Excessive incubation with Blocking Solution or insufficient washing after this step. 5. Too much wash buffer remains on the slides after washing, diluting the reagents applied in the next step. 6. Incubation times were too short or primary antibody concentration too low. 7. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. Non-specific background staining or overstaining: 1. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 2. Excessive tissue adhesive on slides. 3. Insufficient washing especially after the incubation with the enzyme conjugate or the chromogenic substrate solution. These washings are critical. 4. Tissue was allowed to (partially) dry out with reagents on. 5. Unspecific binding of the primary antibody. Please use the Blocking Solution provided with this kit or dilute the primary antibody in appropriate diluents. 6. Incubation time of the primary antibody was too long or primary antibody concentration too high. 7. Incubation time of the chromogenic substrate solution was too long or reaction temperature too high (e.g. if temperature in the laboratory is high). 8. The substrate is metabolised by endogenous horse radish peroxidase. Maybe the hydrogen peroxide solution used for blocking was inactivated. 9. Non-specific binding of the secondary antibody to endogenous biotin in the tissue section. Carry out an avidin-biotin block before incubation with the primary antibody.
Quality Control:
We recommend carrying out a positive and a negative control with every staining run. The positive control permits the validation of appropriate processing of the sample. If the negative control has a positive result, this points to unspecific staining.
Performance characteristics:
Studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the kit reagents. The product has been found to be suitable for the intended use
Limitations of procedure:
Immunohistochemistry is a complex method in which histological as well as immunological detection methods are combined. Tissue processing and handling prior to immunostaining, for example variations in fixation and embedding or the inherent nature of the tissue can cause inconsistent results (Nadji and Morales, 1983). Endogenous peroxidase or pseudoperoxidase activity or the endogenous biotin content may cause non-specific staining. The enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with 3% H2O2 solution. Tissues containing Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) may give false positive results with HRP (horse radish peroxidase) detection systems (Omata et al, 1980). Background staining due to endogenous biotin can be blocked through an avidinbiotin blocking step prior to the primary antibody incubation step. Inadequate counterstaining and mounting can influence the interpretation of the results. The colour intensity of the reaction product can decrease with time, especially when exposed to light. Overexposure with the protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution) can result in decreasing signal intensity. Therefore, we recommend washing away the Blocking Solution instead of just draining it away as in other procedures. Sanbio guarantees that the product will meet all requirements described from its shipping date until its expiry date, as long as the product is correctly stored and utilized. No additional guarantees can be given. Under no circumstances shall Sanbio be liable for any damages arising out of the use of the reagent provided.
Precautions:
Use by qualified personnel only. Wear protective clothing to avoid eye, skin or mucous membrane contact with the reagents. In case of a reagent coming into contact with a sensitive area, wash the area with large amounts of water. Microbial contamination of the reagents must be avoided, since otherwise non-specific staining might appear. ProClin 300 and sodium azide (NaN3) are used for stabilisation. Sodium azide deposits in drainage pipes made of lead or copper can result in the formation of highly explosive metallic azides. To avoid such deposits in drainage pipes, sodium azide should be discarded in a large volume of running water. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are available upon request.
The Plus HRP Kit, Broad Spectrum is based on the streptavidin-biotin system. It is designed for the qualitative detection of antigens in fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, in frozen tissue sections, and in cytological samples. The kit is developed for use in combination with mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from mouse, rabbit, rat, and guinea pig. The Plus HRP Kit, Broad Spectrum can be used for examining tissues fixed in different solutions, e.g. formalin (neutrally buffered), B5, Bouin, ethanol, or HOPE.
The purpose of immunohistochemical staining is to make tissue and cell antigens visible. The Plus HRP Kit, Broad Spectrum is a highly sensitive detection kit intended for use in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry. The method is based on the streptavidin-biotin system which means that a biotinylated secondary antibody binds to several molecules of a conjugate composed of streptavidin and horse radish peroxidase. Visualisation occurs via an enzyme-substrate reaction in the presence of a colourising reagent which permits microscopical analysis. The biotinylated secondary antibody in the Plus HRP Kit, Broad Spectrum is polyvalent. Therefore this kit can detect mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from mouse, rabbit, rat, and guinea pig.
Principle of method:
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections are first deparaffinised and rehydrated. Endogenous peroxidase activity in the tissue may cause non-specific staining. This enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with 3% H2O2-solution (Peroxide Block). Background staining caused by unspecific binding of the primary or secondary antibody is minimized by incubation with a protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution). This step can be omitted if the primary antibodies are diluted in an appropriate buffer. The next step is incubation with the specific primary antibody. After washing, the biotinylated secondary antibody is applied and incubated. This secondary antibody functions as a link between primary antibody and the streptavidin-horse radish peroxidase-conjugate (Streptavidin-HRP-Conjugate). A second washing is followed by the application of this conjugate. It binds to the biotin at the secondary antibody. Any excess of unbound streptavidin-HRP-conjugate is thoroughly washed away after incubation. The addition of the chromogenic substrate starts the enzymatic reaction of the horse radish peroxidase which leads to colour precipitation where the primary antibody is bound. The colour can be observed with a light microscope. The chromogen used determines the colour. The chromogen AEC (included only in kit MON-APP114) leads to the formation of a red-brown product of reaction at the place of the target antigen. The chromogen DAB (included only in kit MON-APP115) forms a dark brown precipitate.

No staining on an actually positive control slide: 1. Reagents were not used in the proper order. 2. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. 3. Bleaching because chromogen and mounting medium are incompatible. 4. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pretreatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 5. Primary antibody not from mouse. 6. The antigen was not stable in the fixation and/or pre-treatment procedure used. Try another fixation or pre-treatment. Weak staining: 1. Inadequate fixation or overfixation. 2. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 3. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pretreatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 4. Excessive incubation with Blocking Solution or insufficient washing after this step. 5. Too much wash buffer remains on the slides after washing, diluting the reagents applied in the next step. 6. Incubation times were too short or primary antibody concentration too low. 7. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. Non-specific background staining or overstaining: 1. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 2. Excessive tissue adhesive on slides. 3. Insufficient washing especially after the incubation with the enzyme conjugate or the chromogenic substrate solution. These washings are critical. 4. Tissue was allowed to (partially) dry out with reagents on. 5. Unspecific binding of the primary antibody. Please use the Blocking Solution provided with this kit or dilute the primary antibody in appropriate diluents. 6. Incubation time of the primary antibody was too long or primary antibody concentration too high. 7. Incubation time of the chromogenic substrate solution was too long or reaction temperature too high (e.g. if temperature in the laboratory is high). 8. The substrate is metabolised by endogenous horse radish peroxidase. Maybe the hydrogen peroxide solution used for blocking was inactivated. 9. Non-specific binding of the secondary antibody to endogenous biotin in the tissue section. Carry out an avidin-biotin block before incubation with the primary antibody.
Quality Control:
We recommend carrying out a positive and a negative control with every staining run. The positive control permits the validation of appropriate processing of the sample. If the negative control has a positive result, this points to unspecific staining.
Performance characteristics:
Studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the kit reagents. The product has been found to be suitable for the intended use
Limitations of procedure:
Immunohistochemistry is a complex method in which histological as well as immunological detection methods are combined. Tissue processing and handling prior to immunostaining, for example variations in fixation and embedding or the inherent nature of the tissue can cause inconsistent results (Nadji and Morales, 1983). Endogenous peroxidase or pseudoperoxidase activity or the endogenous biotin content may cause non-specific staining. The enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with 3% H2O2 solution. Tissues containing Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) may give false positive results with HRP (horse radish peroxidase) detection systems (Omata et al, 1980). Background staining due to endogenous biotin can be blocked through an avidinbiotin blocking step prior to the primary antibody incubation step. Inadequate counterstaining and mounting can influence the interpretation of the results. The colour intensity of the reaction product can decrease with time, especially when exposed to light. Overexposure with the protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution) can result in decreasing signal intensity. Therefore, we recommend washing away the Blocking Solution instead of just draining it away as in other procedures. Sanbio guarantees that the product will meet all requirements described from its shipping date until its expiry date, as long as the product is correctly stored and utilized. No additional guarantees can be given. Under no circumstances shall Sanbio be liable for any damages arising out of the use of the reagent provided.
Precautions:
Use by qualified personnel only. Wear protective clothing to avoid eye, skin or mucous membrane contact with the reagents. In case of a reagent coming into contact with a sensitive area, wash the area with large amounts of water. Microbial contamination of the reagents must be avoided, since otherwise non-specific staining might appear. ProClin 300 and sodium azide (NaN3) are used for stabilisation. Sodium azide deposits in drainage pipes made of lead or copper can result in the formation of highly explosive metallic azides. To avoid such deposits in drainage pipes, sodium azide should be discarded in a large volume of running water. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are available upon request.
The Plus HRP Kit, Rabbit is based on the streptavidin-biotin system. It is designed for qualitative detection of antigens in fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, in frozen tissue sections, and in cytological samples. The kit is developed for use in combination with mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from rabbit. The Plus HRP Kit, Rabbit can be used for examining tissues fixed in different solutions, e.g. formalin (neutrally buffered), B5, Bouin, ethanol, or HOPE.
The purpose of the immunohistochemical staining is to make tissue and cell antigens visible. The Plus HRP Kit, Rabbit is a highly sensitive detection kit intended for use in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry. The method is based on the streptavidin-biotin system which means that a biotinylated secondary antibody binds to several molecules of a conjugate composed of streptavidin and horse radish peroxidase. Visualisation occurs via an enzyme-substrate reaction in the presence of a colourising reagent which permits microscopical analysis. The biotinylated secondary antibody in the Plus HRP Kit, Rabbit binds to rabbit primary antibodies. Therefore this kit can detect mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from rabbit.
Principle of method:
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections are first deparaffinised and rehydrated. Endogenous peroxidase activity in the tissue may cause non-specific staining. This enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with 3% H2O2-solution (Peroxide Block). Background staining caused by unspecific binding of the primary or secondary antibody is minimized by incubation with a protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution). This step can be omitted if the primary antibodies are diluted in an appropriate buffer. The next step is incubation with the specific primary antibody. After washing, the biotinylated secondary antibody is applied and incubated. This antibody functions as a link between primary antibody and the streptavidin-horse radish peroxidase-conjugate (Streptavidin-HRP-Conjugate). A second washing is followed by the application of this conjugate. It binds to the biotin at the secondary antibody. Any excess of unbound streptavidin-HRPconjugate is thoroughly washed away after incubation. The addition of the chromogenic substrate starts the enzymatic reaction of the horse radish peroxidase which leads to colour precipitation where the primary antibody is bound. The colour can be observed with a light microscope. The chromogen used determines the colour. The chromogen AEC (included only in kit MON-APP132) leads to the formation of a red-brown product of reaction at the place of the target antigen. The chromogen DAB (included only in kit MON-APP133) forms a dark brown precipitate.

If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the kit reagents, please contact our technical support
Procedure:
Reagents should be at room temperature when used. Deparaffinise and rehydrate paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Pre-treatment (optional) with HIER (Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval) or enzymatic digestion. The tissue sections have to be completely covered with the different reagents in order to avoid drying out.

Preparation of the chromogenic substrate DAB working solution (with MON-APP133 only): Add 4 drops (200 µl) of DAB Concentrate to one bottle of DAB Substrate Buffer and mix thoroughly.
Expected results:
During the reaction of the substrate with horse radish peroxidase in the presence of a chromogen, a coloured precipitate is formed at the location of the bound primary antibody. This reaction only takes place if the target antigen is existent in the tissue. The chromogen used determines the colour of the precipitate. The analysis is carried out using a light microscope.

The Plus AP Kit, Rabbit can be used for examining tissues fixed in different solutions, e.g. formalin (neutrally buffered), B5, Bouin, ethanol, or HOPE.
The purpose of the immunohistochemical staining is to make tissue and cell antigens visible. The Plus AP Kit, Rabbit is a highly sensitive detection kit intended for use in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry. The method based on the streptavidin-biotin system which means that a biotinylated secondary antibody binds to several molecules of a conjugate composed of streptavidin and alkaline phosphatase. Visualisation occurs via an enzyme-substrate reaction in the presence of a colourising reagent which permits microscopical analysis. The biotinylated secondary antibody in the Plus AP Kit, Rabbit binds to rabbit primary antibodies. Therefore this kit can detect mono- and polyclonal primary antibodies and sera obtained from rabbit.
Principle of method:
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections are first deparaffinised and rehydrated. Background staining caused by unspecific binding of the primary or secondary antibody is minimized by incubation with a protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution provided with the kit). This step can be omitted if the primary antibodies are diluted in an appropriate buffer. The next step is incubation with the specific primary antibody. After washing, the biotinylated secondary antibody is applied and incubated. This antibody functions as a link between primary antibody and streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase-conjugate (Streptavidin-AP-Conjugate). A second washing is followed by the application of this conjugate. It binds to the biotin at the secondary antibody. Any excess of unbound streptavidin-AP-conjugate is thoroughly washed away after incubation. The addition of the chromogenic substrate starts the enzymatic reaction of the alkaline phosphatase which leads to colour precipitation where the primary antibody is bound. The colour can be observed with a light microscope. The chromogen used determines the colour. The chromogen Permanent Red (included only in kit MON-APP128) leads to the formation of a magenta-red product of reaction at the place of the target antigen. Other suitable chromogens are Permanent AP Red (magenta-red) or NBT (blue-black) with its substrate BCIP.
Reagents provided:
8 ml Blocking Solution Reagent 1 (ready-to-use) 8 ml Biotinylated Secondary Antibody, Rabbit Reagent 2 (ready-to-use) 8 ml Streptavidin-AP-Conjugate Reagent 3 (ready-to-use) 8 x 5 ml Permanent Red Buffer (Substrate Buffer) 2 ml Permanent Red Concentrate (Chromogen) Substrate systems recommended (if not included in the kit) Permanent AP Red kit, BCIP/NBT Materials required but not supplied: Positive und negative control tissue Xylene or suitable substitutes Ethanol, distilled H2O Reagents for enzyme digestion or heat pre-treatment Wash buffer PAP Pen Primary antibody (user-defined) Primary antibody diluent Negative control reagent Chromogenic substrate Counter stain solution Mounting medium Cover slips
Storage and handling:
The solutions should be stored at 2-8°C without further dilution. Please store the reagents in a dark place and do not freeze them. Under these conditions the solutions are stable up to the expiry date indicated on the label. They should not be used after the expiry date. A positive and a negative control have to be carried out in parallel to the test material. If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the kit reagents, please contact our technical support
Reagent preparation:
Reagents should be at room temperature when used. Deparaffinise and rehydrate paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Pre-treatment (optional) with HIER (Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval) or enzymatic digestion. Tissue sections have to be completely covered with the different reagents in order to avoid drying out. Preparation of the chromogenic substrate working solution (with MON-APP128 only): Add 2 drops (60 µl) of Permanent Red Concentrate to one bottle of Permanent Red Buffer (Substrate Buffer) and mix. This solution should be used directly after preparation.
Procedure:
1. Blocking Solution (protein block, Reagent 1) (This step is optional.) 5 min. 2. Washing with wash buffer 1 x 2 min. 3. Primary antibody (optimally diluted) or negative control reagent 30-60 min. 4. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 5. Biotinylated Secondary Antibody, Rabbit (Reagent 2, yellow) 10-15 min. 6. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 7. Streptavidin-AP-Conjugate (Reagent 3, red) 10-15 min. 8. Washing with wash buffer 3 x 2 min. 9. Permanent Red substrate-chromogen solution (with AP008RED-RB) 5 min. 10. Wash with distilled H2O 1 min. 11. Permanent Red substrate-chromogen solution (with AP008RED-RB) 5 min. 12. Wash with destilled water 3 x 1 min. 13. Counterstaining and blueing 14. Mounting: aqueous or permanent after dehydration * The incubation times should be adjusted, when using other substrate-chromogen systems
Expected results:
During the reaction of the substrate with alkaline phosphatase in the presence of a chromogen, a coloured precipitate is formed at the location of the bound primary antibody. This reaction only takes place if the target antigen is existent in the tissue. The chromogen used determines the colour of the precipitate. The analysis is carried out using a light microscope.
Trouble shooting:
If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the reagents, please read these instructions carefully, contact our technical support. No staining on an actually positive control slide: 1. Reagents were not used in the proper order. 2. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. 3. Bleaching because chromogen and mounting medium are incompatible. 4. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. Try a pre-treatment such as heat pre-treatment or enzyme digestion. If you used a pre-treatment it should be extended. 5. Primary antibody not from rabbit, but from a different species. 6. The antigen/epitope was not stable in the fixation and/or pre-treatment procedure used. Try another fixation or pre-treatment. Weak staining: 1. Inadequate fixation or overfixation. 2. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 3. The antigen/epitope in the tissue was insufficiently accessible to the primary antibody. If you used heat pre-treatment or enzyme digestion it should be extended. 4. Excessive incubation with Blocking Solution or insufficient washing after this step. 5. Too much wash buffer remains on the slides after washing, diluting the reagents applied in the next step. 6. If you are using PBS-based wash buffer: the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the reagents is blocked if too much wash buffer remains on the slides. 7. Incubation times were too short or primary antibody concentration too low. 8. Chromogenic substrate solution was too old. Non-specific background staining or overstaining: 1. Incomplete deparaffinisation. 2. Excessive tissue adhesive on slides. 3. Insufficient washing especially after the incubation with the enzyme conjugate or the chromogenic substrate solution. These washings are critical. 4. Tissue was allowed to (partially) dry out with reagents on. 5. Unspecific binding of the primary antibody. Please use the Blocking Solution provided with this kit or dilute the primary antibody in appropriate diluents. 6. Incubation time of the primary antibody was too long or primary antibody concentration too high. 7. Incubation time of the chromogenic substrate solution was too long or reaction temperature too high (e.g. if temperature in the laboratory is high). 8. The substrate is metabolised by endogenous alkaline phosphatase in the tissue. This undesired activity can often be suppressed using levamisole (see section Limitations of the Procedure). 9. Non-specific binding of the secondary antibody to endogenous biotin in the tissue section. Carry out an avidin-biotin block before incubation with the primary antibody.
Quality Control:
We recommend carrying out a positive and a negative control with every staining run. The positive control permits the validation of appropriate processing of the sample. If the negative control has a positive result, this points to unspecific binding.
Performance characteristics:
Studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the kit reagents. The product has been found to be suitable for the intended use
Limitations of procedure:
Immunohistochemistry is a complex method in which histological as well as immunological detection methods are combined. Tissue processing and handling prior to immunostaining, for example variations in fixation and embedding or the inherent nature of the tissue can cause inconsistent results (Nadji and Morales, 1983). Endogenous alkaline phosphatase activity or the endogenous biotin content may cause non-specific staining. The enzyme activity can be blocked by incubation with levamisole. However, neither intestinal nor placental alkaline phosphatase can be blocked with levamisole. Background staining due to endogenous biotin can be blocked through an avidin-biotin blocking step prior to the primary antibody incubation step. Inadequate counterstaining and mounting can influence the interpretation of the results. The colour intensity of the reaction product can decrease with time, especially when exposed to light. Overexposure with the protein blocking solution (Blocking Solution) can result in decreasing signal intensity. Therefore, we recommend washing away the Blocking Solution instead of just draining it away as in other procedures. Sanbio guarantees that the product will meet all requirements described from its shipping date until its expiry date, as long as the product is correctly stored and utilized. No additional guarantees can be given. Under no circumstances shall Sanbio be liable for any damages arising out of the use of the reagent provided.
Precautions:
Use by qualified personnel only. Wear protective clothing to avoid eye, skin or mucous membrane contact with the reagents. In case of a reagent coming into contact with a sensitive area, wash the area with large amounts of water. ProClin 300 and sodium azide (NaN3) are used for stabilisation. Sodium azide deposits in drainage pipes made of lead or copper can result in the formation of highly explosive metallic azides. To avoid such deposits in drainage pipes, sodium azide should be discarded in a large volume of running water. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) for the pure substances are available upon request. Microbial contamination of the reagents must be avoided, since otherwise non-specific staining might appear.
Antibody Diluent B is especially developed for dilution of certain primary antibodies. Antibodies diluted with Antibody Diluent B are primarily used in immunohistochemistry with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, but also with frozen, HOPE-fixed, and cytological samples as well as in immunoblot procedures.
Antibody diluents used in immunohistochemistry should protect the antibody from microbial contamination and stabilize the antibody chemically. Antibody Diluent B reduces non-specific binding of antibodies to tissue sections and is therefore extremely useful in receiving background-free staining results.
Principle of method:
Immunohistochemical staining procedures often start with incubation of a blocking solution to reduce unspecific binding of primary antibody to tissue sections. This step can be omitted if the antibody used is diluted in Antibody Diluent B. Antibody Diluent B minimises unspecific binding of the primary antibody to the tissue section, reduces surface tension of the antibody solution and improves spreading the reagent on the slide, increases microbial and chemical stability of the antibody, reduces adhesion of antibody to the surface of the vial, and minimises the danger of antibody degradation by proteolytic enzymes.
Reagents provided:
100 ml Antibody Diluent B (ready-to-use)
Storage and handling:
The solution should be stored at 2-8°C without furt her dilution. Do not freeze it. Under these conditions the solution is stable up to the expiry date indicated on the label. Do not use product after the expiry date. If stored at room temperature the solution is stable for at least 10 month from the date of delivery. A positive and a negative control have to be carried out in parallel to the test material. If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by this reagent, please contact our technical support.
Expected results:
During the reaction of the substrate with horse radish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase in the presence of a chromogen, a coloured precipitate is formed at the location of the bound primary antibody. This reaction only takes place if the target antigen is existent in the tissue. The chromogen used determines the colour of the precipitate. The analysis is carried out using a light microscope.

Rabbit anti-Contactin-6 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
The neural adhesion molecule Contactin-6, also known as NB-3, is a contactin/F3 subgroup member of immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed exclusively in the nervous system and mainly upregulated at the early postnatal stage during mouse brain development. Employing Northern blot analysis Kamei et al found that amongst different regions of the adult human nervous system cerebellum expressed highest level of NB-3 mRNA. The expression of NB-3 in the cerebellum increases until adulthood. In contrast, the expression in the cerebrum declines to a low level after postnatal day 7. NB-3 like other neural recognition molecules plays a vitally important role in axonal guidance during development, plasticity, and maintenance of synaptic connections in the adult brain. Cui et al recently showed that NB-3 acts as a novel Notch ligand to participate in oligodendrocyte generation. Furthermore, NB-3 triggers nuclear translocation of the Notch intracellular domain and promotes oligodendrogliogenesis from progenitor cells and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells via Deltex1. In primary oligodendrocytes, NB-3 increases myelin-associated glycoprotein transcripts. Hence, the NB-3/Notch signaling pathway may be worthwhile a closer examination for its potential for the treatment of demyelinating diseases. Human NB-3 shares with rat NB-3 86% identity in nucleotide sequences and 90% identity in amino acid sequences. FUNCTION: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Participates in oligodendrocytes generation by acting as a ligand of NOTCH1. Its association with NOTCH1 promotes NOTCH1 activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) and subsequent translocation to the nucleus. Involved in motor coordination. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; lipid-anchor; GPI-anchor. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain. In brain, it is preferentially expressed in the accessory olfactory bulb, layers II/III and V of the cerebral cortex, piriform cortex, anterior thalamic nuclei, locus coeruleus of the pons and mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Highly expressed after birth, reaching a maximum at the postnatal day 7, and declines thereafter in the cerebrum, whereas it increases in the cerebellum to adulthood.

Rabbit anti-Ki-67 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

LRRK2 is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. Its role is yet unknown but it may play a role in the phoshorylation of proteins central to parkinson diseases. LRRK2 contains an ankryin repeat region, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a kinase domain, a DFG-like motif, a RAS domain, a GTPase domain, a mLK-like domain and a WD40 domain. LRRK2 is present in the cytoplasm but also associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane. Defects in LRRK2 are the cause of Parkinson disease 8 (PARK8). Parkinson disease is characterised by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. PARK8 is an autosomal-dominant late-onset parkinsonism, characterized by onset from 50 to 65 years, with slow progression and relatively benign course.

Rabbit anti-Green fluorescent protein (GFP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC.
Background Info:
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It has an endogenous fluorochrome activity with excitation maximum at 395nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, which is similar to that of fluorescein. GFP can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. This GFP rabbit antibody was made against a recombinant GFP construct originating from an Aequoria species which was engineered to improve spectral properties and prevent oligomerization (1). This form of GFP, referred to as AcGFP, is 94% identical to the eGFP developed by Tsien and co-workers. The antibody can be used to verify the expression, size and stability of both AcGFP and eGFP fusion proteins in western blotting experiments and to amplify GFP signals in tissues of transgenic animals.

Rabbit anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therefore the regulation of the TH enzyme represents the central means for controlling the synthesis of these important catecholamines. FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. COFACTOR: Fe(2+) ion. ENZYME REGULATION: Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity. PATHWAY: Catecholamine biosynthesis; first step. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. PTM: In vitro, phosphorylation of Ser-19 increases the rate of Ser-40 phosphorylation, which results in enzyme opening and activation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family. The presence of different DNA sequences at the TH locus confers susceptibility to various disorders of the brain including manic-depression and schizophrenia. Parkinson's disease is also considered a TH deficiency as low dopamine levels are a consistent neurochemical abnormality.

Rabbit anti-Parkinson disease protein 2 (Parkin) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions within a multiprotein E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, catalyzing the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties onto substrate proteins. These substrates include SYT11, CCNE1, GPR37, STUB1, a 22 kDa O-linked glycosylated isoform of SNCAIP and SEPT5. May play a more general role in the ubiquitin proteasomal pathway by participating in the removal and/or detoxification of abnormally folded or damaged protein. Loss of this ubiquitin ligase activity appears to be the mechanism underlying pathogenesis of PARK2. May protect neurons against alpha synuclein toxicity, proteasomal dysfunction, GPR37 accumulation, and kainate-induced excitotoxicity. May play a role in controlling neurotransmitter trafficking at the presynaptic terminal and in calcium-dependent exocytosis. Regulates cyclin E during neuronal apoptosis. May represent a tumor suppressor gene. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Co-localizes with STY11 in neutrites. Co-localizes with SNCAIP in brainstem Lewy bodies. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in the brain including the substantia nigra. Expressed in heart, testis and skeletal muscle. Expression is down-regulated or absent in tumor biopsies, and absent in the brain of PARK2 patients. Overexpression protects dopamine neurons from kainate-mediated apoptosis.

Rabbit anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system.

Rabbit anti-Contactin-6 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
The neural adhesion molecule Contactin-6, also known as NB-3, is a contactin/F3 subgroup member of immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed exclusively in the nervous system and mainly upregulated at the early postnatal stage during mouse brain development. Employing Northern blot analysis Kamei et al found that amongst different regions of the adult human nervous system cerebellum expressed highest level of NB-3 mRNA. The expression of NB-3 in the cerebellum increases until adulthood. In contrast, the expression in the cerebrum declines to a low level after postnatal day 7. NB-3 like other neural recognition molecules plays a vitally important role in axonal guidance during development, plasticity, and maintenance of synaptic connections in the adult brain. Cui et al recently showed that NB-3 acts as a novel Notch ligand to participate in oligodendrocyte generation. Furthermore, NB-3 triggers nuclear translocation of the Notch intracellular domain and promotes oligodendrogliogenesis from progenitor cells and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells via Deltex1. In primary oligodendrocytes, NB-3 increases myelin-associated glycoprotein transcripts. Hence, the NB-3/Notch signaling pathway may be worthwhile a closer examination for its potential for the treatment of demyelinating diseases. Human NB-3 shares with rat NB-3 86% identity in nucleotide sequences and 90% identity in amino acid sequences. FUNCTION: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Participates in oligodendrocytes generation by acting as a ligand of NOTCH1. Its association with NOTCH1 promotes NOTCH1 activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) and subsequent translocation to the nucleus. Involved in motor coordination. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; lipid-anchor; GPI-anchor. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain. In brain, it is preferentially expressed in the accessory olfactory bulb, layers II/III and V of the cerebral cortex, piriform cortex, anterior thalamic nuclei, locus coeruleus of the pons and mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum.

Chicken anti-Growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

Rabbit anti-Microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ELISA.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; cytosol. Cell membrane. Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 8 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of up to 5 of the 15 exons. One of these optional exons contains the additional tau/MAP repeat. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Four-repeat (type II) tau is expressed in an adult-specific manner and is not found in fetal brain, whereas three-repeat (type I) tau is found in both adult and fetal brain. DOMAIN: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. In Alzheimer disease, the neuronal cytoskeleton in the brain is progressively disrupted and replaced by tangles of paired helical filaments and straight filaments, mainly composed of hyperphosphorylated forms of Microtubule-associated protein Tau. Defects in Microtubule-associated protein Tau are a cause of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, as well as a number of other neurodegenerative diseases.

The major function of neurofilaments is likely to control the diameter of large axons. NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at 68-70kDa with some variability across species. Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in cell culture and sectioned material. NF-L antibody can also be useful for the visualization of neurofilament rich accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrigs disease (ALS), giant axon neuropathy, Charcot-Marie Tooth disease and others.

Ubiquitinous metalloproteinase that is involved in diverse functions such as remodeling of the vasculature, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. As well as degrading extracellular matrix proteins, can also act on several nonmatrix proteins such as big endothelial 1 and beta-type CGRP promoting vasoconstriction. Also cleaves KISS at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Appears to have a role in myocardial cell death pathways. Contributes to myocardial oxidative stress by regulating the activity of GSK3beta. Cleaves GSK3beta in vitro. Involved in the formation of the fibrovascular tissues in association with MMP14. PEX, the C-terminal non-catalytic fragment of MMP2, posseses anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties and inhibits cell migration and cell adhesion to FGF2 and vitronectin. Ligand for integrinv/beta3 on the surface of blood vessels. MMP2 isoform 2 mediates the proteolysis of CHUK/IKKA and initiates a primary innate immune response by inducing mitochondrial-nuclear stress signaling with activation of the pro-inflammatory NF-kappaB, NFAT and IRF transcriptional pathways. Catalytic activity of MMP2 causes cleavage of gelatin type I and collagen types IV, V, VII, X. Cleaves the collagen-like sequence Pro-Gln-Gly-|-Ile-Ala-Gly-Gln. (Ref: uniprot.org).

Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells. They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.

Rabbit anti-Coronin- 1A Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Coronins belong to the WD40 or WD family of proteins. Coronins appear to be particularly involved in binding to actin, actin associated proteins, tubulin and phospholipase C and have been implicated in the mechanisms of chemotaxis and phagocytosis. In mammals there are at least five major coronin proteins, named coronins 1 to 5 in one nomenclature. Another nomenclature divides these five proteins in coronins 1a and 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c (see the Human Genone Organization Gene Nomenclature Committee link for this family). The mammalian coronin family members are abundant components of eukaryotic cells and each type has a restricted cell type specific expression pattern. Coronin 1A is found exclusively in hematopoetic lineage cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. This antibody is therefore an excellent marker of cells of this lineage and can also be used to study the leading edges particularly of neutrophils. Since the only hematopoetic cells found within the central nervous system are microglia, this antibody is also an excellent marker of this important cell type. Microglia are numerically fairly minor components of the nervous system, but microglial activation is seen in response to a wide variety of damage and disease states, including ALS, Alzheimer's disease and responses to brain tumors. Since coronin 1a is a constitutive component of microglia, the coronin 1a antibody can be used to study both quiescent and activated microglia.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Sheep anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system. PTM: At least 5 charge isomers; C1 (the most cationic, least modified, and most abundant form), C2, C3, C4 and C5 (the least cationic form); are produced as a result of optional posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues, deamidation of glutamine or asparagine residues, citrullination and methylation of arginine residues. C1 and C2 are unphosphorylated, C3 and C4 are monophosphorylated and C5 is phosphorylated at two positions. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the myelin basic protein family.

Sheep anti-Alpha-synuclein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Alpha synuclein is an abundant 140 amino acid neuronal protein, expressed primarily at presynaptic terminals in the central nervous system. Alpha synuclein has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. A point mutation in the gene coding for the alpha-synuclein protein was the first discovery linking this protein to a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Subsequently, other mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in familial PD. The aggregated proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies found in PD and cortical Lewy body dementia (LBD) were discovered to be predominantly alpha-synuclein. Aberrant aggregation of alpha-synuclein has been detected in an increasing number of neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleopathies. Alpha-synuclein exists physiologically in both soluble and membrane-bound states, in unstructured and alpha-helical conformations, respectively. The physiological function of alpha-synuclein appears to require its translocation between these subcellular compartments and interconversion between the 2 conformations. Abnormal processing of alpha-synuclein is predicted to lead to pathological changes in its binding properties and function.

CNTF is a survival promoting factor for different types of neurons in vitro and in vivo. The essential structural features for the biological function of human CNTF were investigated by Thier, M. et al. They showed that deletion of 14 N-terminal and 18 C-terminal amino acids significantly increased bioactivity compared to wild-type CNTF. FUNCTION: CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Nervous system. PHARMACEUTICAL: CNTF is being tested under the name Axokine by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for treatment of human motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As it induces substantial weight loss, preferentially of fat as opposed to lean body mass, it is being used for obesity treatment. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the CNTF family.

Chicken anti-Ki-67 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

Chicken anti-Green fluorescent protein (GFP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It has an endogenous fluorochrome activity with excitation maximum at 395 nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, which is similar to that of fluorescein. GFP can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell.<br> This GFP rabbit antibody was made against a recombinant GFP construct originating from an Aequoria species which was engineered to improve spectral properties and prevent oligomerization. This form of GFP, referred to as AcGFP, is 94% identical to the eGFP developed by Tsien and co-workers. The antibody can be used to verify the expression, size and stability of both AcGFP and eGFP fusion proteins in western blotting experiments and to amplify GFP signals in tissues of transgenic animals.

Goat anti-Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for ELISA.
Background Info:
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipoprotein involved in fat metabolism and acts as cholesterol carrier between cells and across tissues. On a genetic level, three APOE alleles are described, APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4. These alleles give rise to six APOE isoforms, which are differentially implicated in various diseases. In the peripheral system, APOE4 is linked to increased risk of atherosclerosis. In the CNS, the ability of APOE4 in clearing beta-amyloid is impaired, while APOE3 and APOE2 are more efficient in performing this task. The APOE4 genotype in particular has been linked to increased risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease.

Monoclonal antibody MC192 against the rat low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75NTR) is derived from the fusion of Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with mouse immune splenocytes. MC192 monoclonal antibody was originally generated by Chandlers et al. p75NTR was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor. Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. MC192 recognizes the extracellular domain of the neurotrophin receptor p75NTR in rat. MC192 antibody may be used for immunocytochemical localisation of rat cells expressing p75NTR, ELISA and western blot. This antibody has also been used for the construction of the MC192-saporin immunotoxin for specific elimination of neuronal populations in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons to generate an animal model for Alzheimer's disease. Using Flow Cytometry, this antibody has frequently been employed for panning to isolate p75NTR-expressing rat cells. MC192 has a potential use as the ligand for gene delivery into p75NTR-expressing rat cells via a receptor-mediated mechanism. FUNCTION: Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3. Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF4, TRAF6, PTPN13 and RANBP9. Interacts through TRAF6 with SQSTM1 which bridges NGFR to NTRK1 (By similarity). Interacts with BEX1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. DOMAIN: Death domain is responsible for interaction with RANBP9. PTM: N- and O-glycosylated. PTM: Phosphorylated on serine residues. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 death domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 TNFR-Cys repeats.

Motor neuron isolation, Gene/Toxin Delivery to rat sensory/motor neurons. A working solution of 1-2 µg/mL was determined by immunohistochemical staining on 4% paraformaldehyde fixed, or alcohol fixed rat spinal cord and brain. For non-denatured WB, 1-5 µg/mL was found to be suitable with suitable controls (PC12 lysate). ELISA: detection only, 1-5 µg/mL has been suggested in literature.Immunoprecipitation: 5 µg/mL, > 0.5% triton X-100 buffer/500 ug/lysate; PC12 positive control strong suggested. MC192 is not suitable as a blocking agent, although it has been incorrectly used for this purpose in many published works. The antibody was generated specifically by screening for monoclonals that had the ability to ENHANCE the binding of NGF, the natural ligand for p75. Therefore, this antibody is particularly unusual. The full details can be found in the original paper, which is listed on our datasheet (see Chandler et al, 1984). Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Mouse anti-p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen, FC.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is also referred to as p75(NTR) due to its molecular mass and its ability to bind at low affinity not only NGF (see 162030), but also other neurotrophins, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; 113505), neurotrophin-3 (NTF3; 162660), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NTF5; 162662). At the time of its discovery, NGFR was considered a unique type of protein. Subsequently, however, a large superfamily of tumor necrosis factor receptors were found to share the overall structure of NGFR (4 extracellular ligand-binding, cysteine-rich repeats, or CRs, and signaling through association with, or disassociation from, cytoplasmic interactors). The identification of this superfamily helped elucidate some of the biologic functions of NGFR, including its ultimate involvement in the nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB; see 164011) and apoptosis pathways. As a monomer, NGFR binds NGF with low affinity. Higher affinity binding is achieved by association with higher molecular mass, low-affinity neurotrophin receptors, namely the tropomyosin receptor kinases, TRKA (NTRK1; 191315), TRKB (NTRK2; 600456), and TRKC (NTRK3; 191316). TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC are specific for or 'preferred by' NGF, NTF5 and BDNF, and NTF3, respectively (Ip et al., 1993). NTF3 also binds to TRKA and TRKB, but with significantly lower affinity

FUNCTION: Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3. Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF4, TRAF6, PTPN13 and RANBP9.

Antibody Isotype:
IgG1
Application Details:
Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, NGF receptor p75 dynamics, retrograde transport studies, study of intracellular trafficking. Suggested working dilutions: For immunohistochemistry a concentration of 1-2 µg/mL is recommended. The antibody is not appropriate for Western Blots. The recommended concentration for FACS is 20 µg/mL and at least 1 in 5000 dilution is recommended for 1-site ELISA. Optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user. MC192 is not suitable as a blocking agent, although it has been incorrectly used for this purpose in many published works. The antibody was generated specifically by screening for monoclonals that had the ability to ENHANCE the binding of NGF, the natural ligand for p75. Therefore, this antibody is particularly unusual. The full details can be found in the original paper, which is listed on our datasheet (see Chandler et al, 1984). Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The FITC version of MC192 is primarily targeted for FACS or IF applications on live or lightly fixed cells. Antibody will not work in traditional formalin fixed tissues.

Mouse anti-p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) Monoclonal Antibody (FITC), suitable for IHC-Frozen, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is also referred to as p75(NTR) due to its molecular mass and its ability to bind at low affinity not only NGF (see 162030), but also other neurotrophins, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; 113505), neurotrophin-3 (NTF3; 162660), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NTF5; 162662). At the time of its discovery, NGFR was considered a unique type of protein. Subsequently, however, a large superfamily of tumor necrosis factor receptors were found to share the overall structure of NGFR (4 extracellular ligand-binding, cysteine-rich repeats, or CRs, and signaling through association with, or disassociation from, cytoplasmic interactors). The identification of this superfamily helped elucidate some of the biologic functions of NGFR, including its ultimate involvement in the nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB; see 164011) and apoptosis pathways. As a monomer, NGFR binds NGF with low affinity. Higher affinity binding is achieved by association with higher molecular mass, low-affinity neurotrophin receptors, namely the tropomyosin receptor kinases, TRKA (NTRK1; 191315), TRKB (NTRK2; 600456), and TRKC (NTRK3; 191316). TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC are specific for or 'preferred by' NGF, NTF5 and BDNF, and NTF3, respectively. NTF3 also binds to TRKA and TRKB, but with significantly lower affinity.

Monoclonal antibody MC192 against the rat low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75NTR) is derived from the fusion of Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with mouse immune splenocytes. MC192 monoclonal antibody was originally generated by Chandlers et al. p75NTR was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor. Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons.

Clone OX-42 recognises the rat equivalent of human CD11b and shares a common epitope with CB11c (integrin apha M and alpha X chains). (PMID:1672643; Tamatani T et al 1991). CD11b is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. CD11b is predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes and is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles (Ref: SWISSPROT). CD11b is also frequently used as a microglial marker allowing to distinguish between quiescent and activated microglia based on the intensity of CD11b staining. Moreover the OX-42 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the CR3 complement (C3bi) receptor found on most monocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and microglia. OX-42 antibody inhibits C3bi binding activity.<br />CD11b, also known as integrin alpha M or Mac-1, and is a component of complement receptor 3 (CR3). CD11c, also known as integrin alpha X, and is a component of complement receptor 4 (CR4). Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 is a receptor for fibrinogen. CD11b and CD11c are expressed on immune cells such as macrophages, monocytes, granulocytes, and dendritic cells. OX42 has also been shown to detect microglia in the brain, as well as cells of the liver and epidermis.

Specificity:
Clone OX-42 recognises the rat equivalent of human CD11b and shares a common epitope with CB11c (integrin apha M and alpha X chains). (PMID:1672643; Tamatani T et al 1991). Immunoprecipitates three polypeptides of 160 kDa, 103 kDa and 95 kDa and a fainter band may also be seen at 133 kDa under non-reducing conditions. If the immunoprecipitated proteins are reduced, two major peptides of 163 kDa and 100 kDa and a minor 135 kDa peptide are seen. Mis-information exists concerning reactivity to mouse and human CD11b/c with OX-42 from various vendors. Biosensis has not verified that OX42 reacts with mouse and human, and ONLY recommends the clone only for rat as the original paper and most papers use the OX family of clones on rat.

Fibrillarin is part of the small subunit processome complex, involved in the processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA. Nop1p is the yeast homologue of fibrillarin. Fibrillarin/Nop1p is extraordinarily conserved, so that the yeast and human proteins are 67% identical, and the human protein can functionally replace the yeast protein. This means that suitably cross-reactive antibodies to Nop1p/fibrillarin such as this antibody can be used to reveal nucleoli and study fibrillarin/Nop1p in all eukaryotes and archea tested to date. This antibody is becoming widely used as a convenient marker for nucleoli in a wide variety of species.

Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells. They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.

Mouse anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ICC.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system.

Mouse anti-Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Nestin is a member of the class IV intermediate filament protein family which is expressed in neuronal stem cells. The molecular weight of human Nestin as determined by SDS-PAGE mobility is about 240 kDa. However the real molecular weight is considerably less than this, at 177 kDa, the disparity being likely due to the highly charged region of the C-terminal segment. Nestin is relatively poorly conserved in protein sequence across species boundaries, so that the mouse and human proteins have an overall identity of only 62%. As a result antibodies to the human protein often fail to recognize the rodent homologue and vice versa. However this antibody stains both rodent and human Nestin. Antibodies to Nestin are widely used to identify neural stem cells.

Neurofilaments contain three intermediate filament proteins: light (68 kDa), medium (160 kDa) and heavy (200 kDa). Neurofilament heavy (NF200 or NF-H) is phosphorylated and it is thought that this results in the formation of interfilament cross bridges that are important in the maintenance of axonal caliber.

Mouse anti-Polyubiqutin-B Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
Background Info:
Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 8.56 kDa which has a central role in regulated protein degradation. It is a protein modifier which can be covalently attached to target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Several types of polymeric chains can be formed depending on the lysine used for the assembly. Attachment to proteins as a polymer leads to their degradation by the 26S proteosome; a complex, multicatalytic cytosolic and nuclear protease. Attachment to proteins as a monomer or as an alternatively linked polymer does not lead to proteasomal degradation and may be required for numerous functions, including maintenance of chromatic structure, regulation of gene expression, stress response, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair. Ubiquitin is synthesized as a polyubiquitin precursor with exact head to tail repeats, the number of repeats of which differ between species and strains. In some species there is a final amino-acid after the last repeat, here in bovine a Cys. Some ubiquitin genes contain a single copy of ubiquitin fused to a ribosomal protein (either L40 or S27a).

Mouse anti-Microtubule Associated Protein 2 (MAP2) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ICC.
Background Info:
Microtubules are 25nm diameter protein rods found in most kinds of eukaryotic cells. They are polymerized from a dimeric subunit made of one 'a' subunit and one 'b' tubulin subunit. Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein t (tau) and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP2 is made up of two ~280 kDa apparent molecular weight bands referred to as MAP2 a and MAP2 b. A third lower molecular weight form, usually called MAP2c, corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternate transcription, and all share a C-terminal sequence which includes either three or four microtubule binding peptide sequences, which are very similar to those found in the related microtubule binding protein t (tau). MAP2 isoforms are expressed only in neuronal cells and specifically in the perikarya and dendrites of these cells. Antibodies to MAP2 are therefore excellent markers on neuronal cells, their perikarya and neuronal dendrites.

Mouse anti-Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
Actin is one of the most abundant and highly conserved proteins of eukaryotes. Mammalian actins are the product of six different genes with differing distribution patterns in cell types and in tissues. The molecular weight of all six proteins is 42 kDa, and one or more actins is found in essentially every type of crude cellular and tissue extract. As a result antibodies to actin are widely used as in western blotting standards. These can be used to verify that the various steps of the western blotting procedure have been performed correctly. In addition, actin is regarded as a "house keeping" protein which is generally not altered much in expression as a result of experimental manipulations. So quantitation of the actin band on the western is used as a standard against with the band density of other proteins can be compared. The monoclonal binds all six actin isotypes (ACTA1, ACTA2, ACTC1, ACTB, ACTG1 and ACTG2) very strongly on western blots. It is a very effective blotting standard which can work on any cell type or tissue extract. It also works in immunocytochemical experiments, binding strongly and cleanly to filopodia, membrane ruffles and stress fibers, all known to be rich in actin.

Mouse anti-Doublecortin (DCX) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Doublecortin (DCX, also known as Doublin, Lissencephalin-X, DBCN and Lis-X) was originally discovered since defects in the gene encoding it are causative of X-linked lissencephaly, a rare group of brain malformations resulting in a smooth cerebral cortex caused by aberrant neuronal migration during development (1,2). The name Doublecortin comes from the unusual layering of the cortex in this form of lissencephaly, which appears to have a second deep cortical layer of neurons. This layer consists of neurons which did not migrate from the subventricular zone to the normal cortical layer. Patients with this defect suffer from seizures and mental retardation. Four proteins encoded by the DCX produce bands of about 35 kDa and 45 kDa on Western blots. The 45 kDa form is known as Lis-XA while the smaller forms are generated by alternate transcription, are all missing the first 81 amino acids of Lis-XA, and are referred to as Lis-XB, Lis-XC, Lis-XD. There are minor amino acid sequence differences between these three smaller isoforms. All of these proteins contain two so-called Doublecortin domains, each about 90 amino acids long, which are believed to function in binding to microtubules, a C-terminal serine and proline rich region which may become phosphorylated in vivo. DCX is expressed very early in neuronal development, as neuroblasts become post-mitotic, but is lost as neurons mature. Developing neurons start to lose DCX expression about the time that they begin to express NeuN. Antibodies to DCX can be used to see if neurogenesis is taking place.

Mouse anti-Growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

Mouse anti-Lysosomal associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
LAMP1 (Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein 1, also known as CD107a, lysosomal associated membrane glycoprotein 1, LGP120 and LAMPA) is a protein primarily associated with the lysosomal membrane. In a typical cell LAMP1 is associated with spherical vesicles located next to the nucleus and the microtubule organizing center (1). LAMP1 is found on the cell surface of lymphocytes undergoing degranulation, a process in which cytoplasmic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane, and this phenomena resulted in discovery of LAMP1 as a CD protein. The LAMP1 protein has a large N-terminal region which is inside the lysosome, hence topologically external to the cell, which is often referred to as the lumenal domain (2). The lumenal domain consists of two homologous globular segments separated by a proline rich sequence. Next there is a single membrane spanning domain and a short 11 amino acid C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. This tail region contains, at the extreme C-terminus, a so-called YXXI motif which is responsible for the sorting of the intact molecule to the endosome and lysozome, where Y = tyrosine, I = isoleucine and X = almost any amino acid (3). This motif is found in several other lysosomal proteins, where it functions in the same way. There are 417 amino acids in the human LAMP1 molecule, giving a native molecular weight of 44.8 kDa. However the N-terminal lumenal segment of LAMP1 is very heavily and variably glycosylated due to the presence of 18 N-linked glycosylation sites, so that on SDS-PAGE and on Western blots the protein runs as a diffuse band at 90-120 kDa. Antibodies to LAMP1 are therefore excellent markers of lysosomes in mammalian cells, though some LAMP1 may also be seen on late endosomes and on the plasma membrane.

Mouse anti-mCherry Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Mouse anti-Ubiquilin 2 Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Ubiquilin 2 (also known as PLIC2 and Chap1) is a member of the ubiquilin protein family, which regulate the degradation of cellular proteins through proteasome or autophage-like pathways (1, 2, 3). Humans have four ubiquilin genes, each encoding a separate protein referred to as Ubiquilin 1, 2, 3 and 4. All ubiquilins contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, while the central part of the molecules are highly variable. The UBL domains bind subunits of the proteasome, and the UBA domains binds to polyubiquitin chains that are typically conjugated onto proteins marked for proteosomal degradation (1). Ubiquilin 2 has a unique region close to the C terminus containing 12 PXX tandem collagen like repeats, where P is proline and X is most cases valine, glycine, isoleucine or threonine. Teepu Siddique and his collaborators have identified mutations in the ubiquilin 2 gene leading to protein point mutations which were important contributors to several forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Interestingly, these mutations involved alterations in proline residues in the PXX repeat region (P497H, P497S, P506T, P509S and P525S, ref. 4). Recently, the Lee and Trojanowski group investigated C9orf72 hexanucleotide expansion and ubiquilin 2 pathology in patients with ALS and FTLD by genetic analysis and immunohistochemistry and found distinct ubiquilin 2 pathology in ALS and FTLD-TDP with C9orf72 expansion (5). C9orf72 hexonucleotide expansion is the most commmon cause to date of familial ALS and FTLD (6, 7). Ubiquilin 2 protein is of different molecular size in mouse and human, 638 and 624 amino acids respectively. As a result the mouse protein, endogenously expressed in rodent 3T3 cells, runs on SDS-PAGE and western blots slightly slower than the human protein.

Mouse anti-Visinin-like protein 1 (VLP-1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Visinin (sometimes known as hippocalcin-like protein 3, HLP3, HPCAL3, HUVISL1, VLP-1, VILIP and VILIP-1) was originally isolated biochemically from chicken retina as a major protein of about 24 kDa on SDS-PAGE (1). Following cloning and sequencing of visinin, several visinin like proteins were discovered by homology screening (2, 3). One of these, Visinin-like protein 1 is a small Calcium binding protein which is very abundant in the nervous system and is found only in neurons, though different neurons have different levels of expression (4, 5). It is particularly concentrated in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and tends to be most abundant in perikarya and dendrites. The protein belongs to the large superfamLy of calmodulin and paravalbumin type proteins which function by binding Calcium ions. Calcium binding alters the confomation of these proteins and allow them to interact with other binding partners, the properties of which they may alter. Visinin-like protein 1 has four "EF hand" domains, which are negatively charged helix-turn-helix peptides which are responsible for Calcium binding. Visinin-like protein 1 is 191 amino acids in size and has a molecular weight on SDS-PAGE of 22 kDa. The protein has recently been suggested to be a useful biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury (6, 7, 8).

Mouse anti-Ataxin-2 binding protein 1 (A2BP1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Fox1 is one of a family of 3 mammalian Fox1 homologues. Fox1 was discovered in C. elegans as a gene involved in sex determination, and the name Fox is an acronym of "Feminizing locus on X" (1). The C. elegans Fox1 protein and its 3 mammalian homologues are all about 46 kDa proteins and each includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif, which corresponds to a small ~70 amino acid structure consisting of 4 beta strands and two alpha-helices. This region is identical in all three mammalian Fox1 family proteins. An alternate name for Fox 1 is ataxin-2 binding protein 1 (A2BP1), since it was discovered in a yeast two hybrid screen using ataxin-2 as bait (2). As with the other Fox proteins, it is assumed that Fox1/A2BP1 has a role in the RNA splicing in the nervous system (3). Fox3, a protein also known as NeuN, is a widely used marker of neuronal nuclei and proximal cytoplasm (4, 5). Like Fox3, Fox1 is expressed in neuronal nuclei, but with a different pattern of expression than Fox3. For example, in the cerebellum Fox3 does not stain Purkinje neurons and Golgi neurons, but these two neuron types are stained by Fox1 antibody (6).

Mouse anti-Lamin A/C Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Mouse anti-Heat shock protein 27 (HSP-27) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The heat shock proteins were discovered, as the name suggests, since they are heavily upregulated when cells are stressed by temperatures above the normal physiological range. They are expressed in unstressed cells also and have a normal function as chaperones, helping other proteins to fold correctly, and are required in much greater amounts if the cell or tissue is stressed by heat. The increased levels are generated transcriptionally under the influence of a powerful transcription factor, the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). The different heat shock proteins were originally named based on their SDS-PAGE mobility, so HSP27 has an apparent molecular weight of 27 kDa. It is an abundant protein even under non-stress conditions and frequently shows up as a major spot on 2 dimensional gels of cells or tissues. It is known to associate with a variety of other proteins such as actin, intermediate filament subunits and ubiquitin and is found both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of cells. HSP27 can become heavily phosphorylated under the influence of multiple protein kinases particularly as a result of activation of the p38/SAPK pathway. Upregulation of this protein is protective against neurodegenerative diseases at least in certain mouse models (1). Point mutations in the HSP27 gene are associated with two neurological diseases, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F and distal hereditary motor neuropathy IIB (2). These diseases are associated with axonal loss apparently following defects in the transport of neurofilaments.

Mouse anti-Aldolase C Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Aldolases are glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible aldol cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose-1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and either glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde, respectively. Three aldolase isozymes are found in mammals specifically aldolases A, B, and C, each of which is encoded by a separate gene. Aldolase A is generally considered to be a muscle enzyme. Northern analysis of cultured cells suggests that it is present in both neurons and glia (1). Aldolase B is considered to be a liver-specific enzyme and it is transcriptionally activated by signals from hormones and dietary factors (2). In the adult, aldolase C is the brain-specific isozyme, with low but detectable activity in fetal tissues (1, 3-6). Aldolase C shares 81% amino acid identity with aldolase A and 70% identity with aldolase B. Earlier studies using isozyme-specific antibodies report its location in gray matter astrocytes and cells of the pia mater (5, 8). In situ hybridization of mouse central nervous system using isozyme-specific probes revealed that aldolase A and C are expressed in complementary cell types: aldolase A mRNA is found in neurons; aldolase C message is detected in astrocytes, some cells of the pia mater, and Purkinje cells (9). Aldolase C can in some situations be used as an astrocyte marker. However Purkinje cells of the cerebellum contain high levels of the enzyme, so the enzyme is not totally astrocyte specific.

Mouse anti-High-mobility group protein 1 (HMGP-1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
High-mobility group proteins were named originally since they are abundand relatively low molecular weight proteins which run quickly on SDS-PAGE gels. High-mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1, Amphoterin) is one of these. The "bx" in the name refers to the so-called high mobility group (HMG) box, a compact domain involved in DNA binding and protein-protein interactions. the HMGB1 molecule has two of these HMG domains. The protein is alslo called amphoterin, this name being derived from the presence of two highly charged regions in the molecule, a relatively neutrally charged N-terminus and a very negatively charged C-terminus. In fact the molecule is very unusually charged throughout, the human sequence consisting of 16.7% Glutamic acid, 9.3% Aspartic acid, 20% lysine and 9.3% Arginine. HMGB1 can bind Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE). TLRs are components of the innate immune system, first recognized as a family of receptors which recognize "Pathogen Associated Molecular Pattern molecules (PAMPs). PAMPs are common components of bacteria and when TLRs bind these a strong inflammatory response is activated. More recently it has been recognized that TLRs can also be activated by Damage Associated Molecular Pattern molecules (DAMPs), which are endogenous substances released from damaged and diseased cells which also bind to TLR family receptors and also activate inflammation. HMGB1 is such a DAMP, binding to TLR4, and much evidence suggests that HMGB1 is a strong activator of inflammation. Interestingly, HMGB1 is released by necrotic cells but not by apoptotic cells (1).

Mouse anti-Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; cytosol. Cell membrane. Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 8 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of up to 5 of the 15 exons. One of these optional exons contains the additional tau/MAP repeat. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Four-repeat (type II) tau is expressed in an adult-specific manner and is not found in fetal brain, whereas three-repeat (type I) tau is found in both adult and fetal brain. DOMAIN: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. In Alzheimer disease, the neuronal cytoskeleton in the brain is progressively disrupted and replaced by tangles of paired helical filaments and straight filaments, mainly composed of hyperphosphorylated forms of Microtubule-associated protein Tau. Defects in Microtubule-associated protein Tau are a cause of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, as well as a number of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Mouse anti-Capsaicin receptor (TrpV1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, FC.
Background Info:
The capsaicin receptor (VR1, TRPV1) is a ligand-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. The receptor seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. It is involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. Sensitized by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, which involves PKC isozymes and PCL. Activation by vanilloids, like capsaicin, and temperatures higher than 42 degrees Celsius, exhibits a time- and Ca2+-dependent outward rectification, followed by a long-lasting refractory state. Mild extracellular acidic pH (6.5) potentiates channel activation by noxious heat and vanilloids, whereas acidic conditions (pH less than 6) directly activate the channel. Can be activated by endogenous compounds, including 12-hydroperoxytetraenoic acid and bradykinin. Acts as ionotropic endocannabinoid receptor with central neuromodulatory effects. Triggers a form of long-term depression (TRPV1-LTD) mediated by the endocannabinoid anandamine in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens by affecting AMPA receptors endocytosis (Ref: uniprot.org).

Mouse anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
TrkA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkA is required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkA leads to cell differentiations and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. It has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Endocytosed to the endosomes upon treatment of cells with NGF. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Both isoforms have similar biological properties. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. Isoform TrkA-I is found in non-neuronal tissues.

MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated protein which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton (probably involved in autophagosome formation). MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and 3 different light chain subunits (LC1, LC2 and LC3). MAP1LC3A is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. The precursor form of MAP1LC3A is cleaved by APG4/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form LC3-1. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II. MAP1LC3A is most abundant in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle and testis but is absent in thymus and peripheral leukocytes.

FUNCTION: Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non-covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. In the heterodimer, FOS and JUN/AP-1 basic regions each seems to interact with symmetrical DNA half sites. On TGF-beta activation, forms a multimeric SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex at the AP1/SMAD-binding site to regulate TGF-beta-mediated signaling. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. In growing cells, activates phospholipid synthesis, possibly by activating CDS1 and PI4K2A. This activity requires Tyr-dephosphorylation and association with the endoplasmic reticulum. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA. Interacts with MAFB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. INDUCTION: C-fos expression increases upon a variety of stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, neurotransmitters, polypeptide hormones, stress and cell injury. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bZIP domain (Ref: uniprot.org).

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.<br /><br />Biosensis now offers <strong>biotinylated proNGF antibody</strong> allowing more flexibility in experimental design by using the biotin-avidin/streptavidin detection method. The ability of biotinylated proNGF antibody to detect proNGF has been validated by WB.

Mouse anti-Ki-67 Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

Mouse anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor B (TrkB) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for FC.
Background Info:
The protein named TrkB (also named Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2), GP145-TrkB or Tropomyosin-related kinase B is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems and is important in the regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. TrkB may also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. TrkB is the primary receptor for BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor. TrkB also binds NT4 and NT3 but less efficiently. Upon ligand-binding, the receptor undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. TrkB activation recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that each regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades within cells. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2, these activate the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates, for instance, neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. These same effectors also control the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. TrkB, via activation of PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways, also controls synaptic plasticity, and thus plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. One such consequence is that PLCG1 activation via TrkB is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. (Reference: www.uniprot.org)

Mouse anti-Green fluorescent protein (GFP) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It has an endogenous fluorochrome activity with excitation maximum at 395 nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, which is similar to that of fluorescein. GFP can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell.<br> This GFP rabbit antibody was made against a recombinant GFP construct originating from an Aequoria species which was engineered to improve spectral properties and prevent oligomerization. This form of GFP, referred to as AcGFP, is 94% identical to the eGFP developed by Tsien and co-workers. The antibody can be used to verify the expression, size and stability of both AcGFP and eGFP fusion proteins in western blotting experiments and to amplify GFP signals in tissues of transgenic animals.

Mouse anti-NeuN/Fox3 Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Fox3 is one of a family of mammalian homologues of Fox-1. The Fox proteins are about 46 kDa in size, and each includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif. Much interest has focused on Fox3 as a result of the recent finding that this protein corresponds to NeuN, a neuronal nuclear antigen. NeuN/Fox-3 has a function in RNA splicing and is expressed heavily and specifically in neuronal nuclei and cytoplasm. Our antibody was raised against the N-terminal 100 amino acids of human Fox3 as expressed in and purified from E. coli. We did not use full length Fox3 as immunogen since the three mammalian Fox homologues, namely Fox1, Fox2 and Fox3, include virtually identical RRM motifs. The N-terminal region of the three molecules are much more variable in the three molecules so antibodies specific for each of the three molecules can therefore be generated.

Rabbit anti-Sortilin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen, ELISA.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions as a sorting receptor in the Golgi compartment and as a clearance receptor on the cell surface. Required for protein transport from the Golgi apparatus to the lysosomes by a pathway that is independent of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). Also required for protein transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endosomes. Promotes neuronal apoptosis by mediating endocytosis of the proapoptotic precursor forms of BDNF (proBDNF) and NGFB (proNGFB). Also acts as a receptor for neurotensin. May promote mineralization of the extracellular matrix during osteogenic differentiation by scavenging extracellular LPL. Probably required in adipocytes for the formation of specialized storage vesicles containing the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 (GLUT4 storage vesicles, or GSVs). These vesicles provide a stable pool of SLC2A4 and confer increased responsiveness to insulin. May also mediate transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. SUBUNIT: Interacts with LPL and SLC2A4. Interacts with the cytosolic adapter proteins GGA1 and GGA2. Interacts with numerous ligands including the receptor-associated protein LRPAP1/RAP, GM2A and PSAP. Forms a complex with NGFR which binds specifically to the precursor forms of NGFB (proNGFB) and BDNF (proBDNF). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Localized to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes, Golgi stack, lysosomes and nucleus. A small fraction of the protein is also localized to the plasma membrane. May also be found in SLC2A4/GLUT4 storage vesicles (GSVs) in adipocytes. Localization to the plasma membrane in adipocytes may be enhanced by insulin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed at high levels in brain, spinal cord, heart, skeletal muscle, thyroid, placenta and testis. Expressed at lower levels in lymphoid organs, kidney, colon and liver. INDUCTION: During osteoblast differentiation. DOMAIN: The N-terminal propeptide may facilitate precursor transport within the Golgi stack. Intrachain binding of the N-terminal propeptide and the extracellular domain may also inhibit premature ligand binding. DOMAIN: The extracellular domain may be shed following protease cleavage in some cell types. PTM: The N-terminal propeptide is cleaved by furin and possibly other homologous proteases. PTM: Contains 8 intrachain disulfide bonds. PTM: N-glycosylated. SIMILARITY: Contains 9 BNR repeats.

MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated protein which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton (probably involved in autophagosome formation). MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and 3 different light chain subunits (LC1, LC2 and LC3). MAP1LC3A is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. The precursor form of MAP1LC3A is cleaved by APG4/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form LC3-1. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II. MAP1LC3A is most abundant in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle and testis but is absent in thymus and peripheral leukocytes.

Rabbit anti-Ubiquitin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 8.56 kDa which has a central role in regulated protein degradation. It is a protein modifier which can be covalently attached to target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Several types of polymeric chains can be formed depending on the lysine used for the assembly. Attachment to proteins as a polymer leads to their degradation by the 26S proteosome; a complex, multicatalytic cytosolic and nuclear protease. Attachment to proteins as a monomer or as an alternatively linked polymer does not lead to proteasomal degradation and may be required for numerous functions, including maintenance of chromatic structure, regulation of gene expression, stress response, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair. Ubiquitin is synthesized as a polyubiquitin precursor with exact head to tail repeats, the number of repeats of which differ between species and strains. In some species there is a final amino-acid after the last repeat, here in bovine a Cys. Some ubiquitin genes contain a single copy of ubiquitin fused to a ribosomal protein (either L40 or S27a).

This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Rabbit anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therefore the regulation of the TH enzyme represents the central means for controlling the synthesis of these important catecholamines. FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. COFACTOR: Fe(2+) ion. ENZYME REGULATION: Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity. PATHWAY: Catecholamine biosynthesis; first step. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. PTM: In vitro, phosphorylation of Ser-19 increases the rate of Ser-40 phosphorylation, which results in enzyme opening and activation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family. The presence of different DNA sequences at the TH locus confers susceptibility to various disorders of the brain including manic-depression and schizophrenia. Parkinson's disease is also considered a TH deficiency as low dopamine levels are a consistent neurochemical abnormality.

Rabbit anti-Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP-43) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

Rabbit anti-mCherry Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Sheep anti-Alpha-synuclein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
Background Info:
Alpha synuclein is an abundant 140 amino acid neuronal protein, expressed primarily at presynaptic terminals in the central nervous system. Alpha synuclein has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. A point mutation in the gene coding for the alpha-synuclein protein was the first discovery linking this protein to a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Subsequently, other mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in familial PD. The aggregated proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies found in PD and cortical Lewy body dementia (LBD) were discovered to be predominantly alpha-synuclein. Aberrant aggregation of alpha-synuclein has been detected in an increasing number of neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleopathies. Alpha-synuclein exists physiologically in both soluble and membrane-bound states, in unstructured and alpha-helical conformations, respectively. The physiological function of alpha-synuclein appears to require its translocation between these subcellular compartments and interconversion between the 2 conformations. Abnormal processing of alpha-synuclein is predicted to lead to pathological changes in its binding properties and function.

Rabbit anti-Adenylate cyclase type III (ACIII) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC, ICC.
Background Info:
Adenylate cyclases are enzymes which interact with and are activated by the GTP bound alpha subunits of trimeric G-proteins. Activated adenylate cyclases are responsible for the production of the important "second messenger" signalling molecule cyclic-AMP, which is generated from ATP. The type III adenylate cyclase enzyme is localized in the membranes surrounding the cilia in neurons, and our antibody is an excellent marker of neuronal cilia in the brain and in cells in tissue culture. Adenylate cyclase type III is a large complex molecule of, in the human, 1145 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight of 129 kDa. The protein may be variably glycosylated, so that on SDS-PAGE and western blots it runs as a diffuse band of about 160 kDa in cortex and about 200 kDa in olfactory epithelium. The molecule has a complex structure, with 12 transmembrane domains and two cyclase domains. Each cyclase domain is immediately C-terminal to 6 transmembrane segments, but only the second, C-terminal cyclase is believed to be catalytically active.

Rabbit anti-Spectrin, alpha II Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The spectrin family of proteins were originally discovered as major components of the submembraneous cytoskeleton of osmotically lysed red blood cells (1). The lysed blood cells could be seen as clear red blood cell shaped objects in the light microscope and were referred to as red cell "ghosts". The major proteins of these ghosts proved to be actin, ankyrin, band 4.1 and several other proteins, including two major bands running at about 240 kDa and 260 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. This pair of bands was named "spectrin" since they were discovered in these red blood cell ghosts (1). Later work showed that similar high molecular bands were seen in membrane preparations from other eukaryotic cell types. Work by Levine and Willard described a pair of about ~240-260 kDa molecular weight bands which were transported at the slowest rate along mammalian axons (2). They named these proteins "fodrin" as antibody studies showed that they were localized in the sheath under the axonal membrane, but not in the core of the axon (2; fodros is Greek for sheath). Subsequently fodrin was found to be a member of the spectrin family of proteins, and the spectrin nomenclature is now normally used (3). Spectrins form tetramers of two alpha and two beta subunits, with the alpha corresponding to the lower molecular weight ~240 kDa band and the beta corresponding to the ~260 kDa or in some case much larger band. Most spectrin tetramers are about 0.2microns or 200nm long, and each alpha and beta subunit has a cell type specific expression pattern. The basic structure of each spectrin subunit is the spectrin repeat, which is a sequence of about 110 amino acids which defines a compact domain contain three closely packed alpha-helices. Each spectrin subunit contains multiple copies of this repeat, with 20 in each of the alpha subunits. The beta I-IV subunits each contain 17 spectrin repeats, while the beta V subunit, also known as beta-heavy spectrin, contains 30 of these repeats. The various subunits also contain several other kinds of functional domain, allowing the spectrin tetramer to interact with a variety of protein, ionic and lipid targets. The alpha-subunits each contain one calmodulin like calcium binding region and one Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain, an abundant domain involved in specific protein-protein interactions. The beta subunits all have a N-terminal actin binding domain and may also have one SH3 domain and one pleckstrin homology domain, a multifunctional type of binding domain which in beta I spectrin at least binds the membrane lipid PIP2 (5). Spectrins are believed to have a function in giving mechanical strength to the plasma membrane since the tetramers associate with each other to form a dense submembraneous geodesic meshwork (3). They also bind a variety of other membrane proteins and membrane lipids, and the proteins they bind to are therefore themselves localized in the membrane. Diseases may be associated with defects in one or other of the spectrin subunits (6). For example, some forms of hereditary spherocytosis, the presence of spherical red blood cells which are prone to lysis, can be traced to mutations in some of the spectrin subunits (7). The alpha-II subunit is widely expressed in tissues but, in the nervous system, is found predominantly in neurons. The antibody can therefore be used to identify neurons and fragments derived from neuronal membranes in cells in tissue culture and in sectioned material.

Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells. They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.

Chicken anti-Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, ICC.
Background Info:
Microtubules are 25nm diameter protein rods found in most kinds of eukarytic cells. They are polymerized from a dimeric subunit made of one a subunit and one b tubulin subunit. Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein t (tau) and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP2 is made up of two ~280 kDa apparent molecular weight bands referred to as MAP2a and MAP2b. A third lower molecular weight form, usually called MAP2c, corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternate transcription, and all share a C-terminal sequence which includes either three or four microtubule binding peptide sequences, which are very similar to those found in the related microtubule binding protein t (tau). MAP2 isoforms are expressed only in neuronal cells and specifically in the perikarya and dendrites of these cells. Antibodies to MAP2 are therefore excellent markers on neuronal cells, their perikarya and neuronal dendrites.

Chicken anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, ICC.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system.

Neurofilament heavy (NF200 or NF-H) is phosphorylated and it is thought that this results in the formation of interfilament cross bridges that are important in the maintenance of axonal caliber. This antibody binds primarily to the phosphorylated axonal forms of NF-H.

Rabbit anti-Lamin A/C Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Rabbit anti-Vimentin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Vimentin is the major protein subunit of the 10nm or intermediate filaments protein found in many kinds of mesenchymal and epithelia cells. Vimentin is also found in many kinds of cells in tissue culture and in developing neuronal and astrocytic precursor cells in the central nervous system. Vimentin frequently forms copolymers with other intermediate filament proteins, such as GFAP (in many kinds of astrocytes), with desmin (in muscle cells) and neurofilament proteins (in developing neurons). Antibodies to vimentin are useful in studies of stem cells and generally to reveal the filamentous cytoskeleton.

Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a metabolic enzyme responsible for catalyzing one step in the glycolytic pathway, the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. GAPDH may have other roles in the activation of transcription and in the regulation of apoptosis as well as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. The immunogen used to raise this particular antibody was extensively purified pig GAPDH. This antibody can be used as a loading control for western blotting experiments, allowing comparison between the level of this protein and others in a cell or tissue.

Rabbit anti-Phospho-calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit alpha, Thr253 (alpha-CaMKII, Thr253) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB.
Background Info:
Calcium/calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II (CaMKII) is composed of four different chains (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and is abundantly expressed in neurons. CaMKII is involved in regulating many aspects of neuronal function, including neurotransmitter synthesis and release, modulation of ion channel activity and cellular transport. The enzymatic function of CaMKII is regulated by its multiple phosphorylation sites and targeting to sub-cellular locations through interactions with protein binding partners. Phosphorylation of Thr253 has been identified in vivo and found to alter the interaction of CaMKII with binding partners, but not change its enzymatic activity. Thus, phosphorylation of Thr253 is suggested to modulate functional responses based on its binding partner and subsequently its sub-cellular localization.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

LRRK2 is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. It role is yet unknown but it may play a role in the phoshorylation of proteins central to parkinson diseases. LRRK2 contains an ankryin repeat region, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a kinase domain, a DFG-like motif, a RAS domain, a GTPase domain, a mLK-like domain and a WD40 domain. LRRK2 is present in the cytoplasm but also associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane. Defects in LRRK2 are the cause of Parkinson disease 8 (PARK8). Parkinson disease is characterised by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. PARK8 is an autosomal-dominant late-onset parkinsonism, characterized by onset from 50 to 65 years, with slow progression and relatively benign course.

The protein named TrkB (also named Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2), GP145-TrkB or Tropomyosin-related kinase B is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems and is important in the regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. TrkB may also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. TrkB is the primary receptor for BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor. TrkB also binds NT4 and NT3 but less efficiently. Upon ligand-binding, the receptor undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. TrkB activation recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that each regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades within cells. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2, these activate the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates, for instance, neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. These same effectors also control the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. TrkB, via activation of PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways, also controls synaptic plasticity, and thus plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. One such consequence is that PLCG1 activation via TrkB is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. (Reference: www.uniprot.org)

FUNCTION: Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non-covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. In the heterodimer, FOS and JUN/AP-1 basic regions each seems to interact with symmetrical DNA half sites. On TGF-beta activation, forms a multimeric SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex at the AP1/SMAD-binding site to regulate TGF-beta-mediated signaling. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. In growing cells, activates phospholipid synthesis, possibly by activating CDS1 and PI4K2A. This activity requires Tyr-dephosphorylation and association with the endoplasmic reticulum. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA. Interacts with MAFB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.

Fox3 is one of a family of mammalian homologues of Fox-1. The Fox proteins are about 46 kDa in size, and each includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif. Much interest has focused on Fox3 as a result of the recent finding that this protein corresponds to NeuN, a neuronal nuclear antigen. NeuN/Fox-3 has a function in RNA splicing and is expressed heavily and specifically in neuronal nuclei and cytoplasm. Our antibody was raised against the N-terminal 100 amino acids of human Fox3 as expressed in and purified from E. coli. We did not use full length Fox3 as immunogen since the three mammalian Fox homologues, namely Fox1, Fox2 and Fox3, include virtually identical RRM motifs. The N-terminal region of the three molecules are much more variable in the three molecules so antibodies specific for each of the three molecules can therefore be generated.

Chicken anti-mCherry Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Chicken anti-Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; cytosol. Cell membrane. Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 8 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of up to 5 of the 15 exons. One of these optional exons contains the additional tau/MAP repeat. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Four-repeat (type II) tau is expressed in an adult-specific manner and is not found in fetal brain, whereas three-repeat (type I) tau is found in both adult and fetal brain. DOMAIN: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. In Alzheimer disease, the neuronal cytoskeleton in the brain is progressively disrupted and replaced by tangles of paired helical filaments and straight filaments, mainly composed of hyperphosphorylated forms of Microtubule-associated protein Tau. Defects in Microtubule-associated protein Tau are a cause of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, as well as a number of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Chicken anti-Lamin A/C Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Chicken anti-Heat shock protein 27 (HSP-27) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The heat shock proteins were discovered, as the name suggests, since they are heavily upregulated when cells are stressed by temperatures above the normal physiological range. They are expressed in unstressed cells also and have a normal function as chaperones, helping other proteins to fold correctly, and are required in much greater amounts if the cell or tissue is stressed by heat. The increased levels are generated transcriptionally under the influence of a powerful transcription factor, the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). The different heat shock proteins were originally named based on their SDS-PAGE mobility, so HSP27 has an apparent molecular weight of 27 kDa. It is an abundant protein even under non-stress conditions and frequently shows up as a major spot on 2 dimensional gels of cells or tissues. It is known to associate with a variety of other proteins such as actin, intermediate filament subunits and ubiquitin and is found both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of cells. HSP27 can become heavily phosphorylated under the influence of multiple protein kinases particularly as a result of activation of the p38/SAPK pathway. Upregulation of this protein is protective against neurodegenerative diseases at least in certain mouse models (1). Point mutations in the HSP27 gene are associated with two neurological diseases, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F and distal hereditary motor neuropathy IIB (2). These diseases are associated with axonal loss apparently following defects in the transport of neurofilaments.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

CNTF is a survival promoting factor for different types of neurons in vitro and in vivo. The essential structural features for the biological function of human CNTF were investigated by Thier, M. et al. They showed that deletion of 14 N-terminal and 18 C-terminal amino acids significantly increased bioactivity compared to wild-type CNTF. FUNCTION: CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Nervous system. PHARMACEUTICAL: CNTF is being tested under the name Axokine by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for treatment of human motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As it induces substantial weight loss, preferentially of fat as opposed to lean body mass, it is being used for obesity treatment. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the CNTF family.

This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Rabbit anti-Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1/Tip60 and inhibit Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity. Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. May be involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. FUNCTION: Beta-amyloid peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. Bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. Rat and mouse beta-amyloid peptides bind only weakly transient metals and have little reducing activity due to substitutions of transient metal chelating residues. Beta-APP42 may activate mononuclear phagocytes in the brain and elicit inflammatory responses. Promotes both tau aggregation and TPK II-mediated phosphorylation (By similarity). FUNCTION: The gamma-CTF peptides as well as the caspase-cleaved peptides, including C31, are potent enhancers of neuronal apoptosis. SUBUNIT: Binds, via its C-terminus, to the PID domain of several cytoplasmic proteins, including APBB family members, the APBA family, MAPK8IP1, SHC1, Numb and Dab1. Binding to Dab1 inhibits its serine phosphorylation. Also interacts with GPCR-like protein BPP, FPRL1, APPBP1, IB1, KNS2 (via its TPR domains), APPBP2 (via BaSS) and DDB1. In vitro, it binds MAPT via the MT-binding domains. Associates with microtubules in the presence of ATP and in a kinesin-dependent manner. Interacts, through a C-terminal domain, with GNAO1. Amyloid beta-42 binds CHRNA7 in hippocampal neurons. Beta-amyloid associates with HADH2. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: different isoforms in different tissues: kidney. brain. liver. hippocampus, substania nigra pars compacta and cerebellum. In the cerebellum, all the isoforms are abundantly expressed in Purkinje cells.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Less than 0.1% cross-reactivity against NGF, NT3 and NT4/5 by dot blot. Known to react with BDNF from rat, mouse and human. Expected to react with BDNF from other species due to amino acid sequence homology.
Storage:
After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability.
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Rabbit anti-Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1/Tip60 and inhibit Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity. Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. May be involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. FUNCTION: Beta-amyloid peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. Bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. Rat and mouse beta-amyloid peptides bind only weakly transient metals and have little reducing activity due to substitutions of transient metal chelating residues. Beta-APP42 may activate mononuclear phagocytes in the brain and elicit inflammatory responses. Promotes both tau aggregation and TPK II-mediated phosphorylation (By similarity). FUNCTION: The gamma-CTF peptides as well as the caspase-cleaved peptides, including C31, are potent enhancers of neuronal apoptosis. SUBUNIT: Binds, via its C-terminus, to the PID domain of several cytoplasmic proteins, including APBB family members, the APBA family, MAPK8IP1, SHC1, Numb and Dab1. Binding to Dab1 inhibits its serine phosphorylation. Also interacts with GPCR-like protein BPP, FPRL1, APPBP1, IB1, KNS2 (via its TPR domains), APPBP2 (via BaSS) and DDB1. In vitro, it binds MAPT via the MT-binding domains. Associates with microtubules in the presence of ATP and in a kinesin-dependent manner. Interacts, through a C-terminal domain, with GNAO1. Amyloid beta-42 binds CHRNA7 in hippocampal neurons. Beta-amyloid associates with HADH2. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: different isoforms in different tissues: kidney. brain. liver. hippocampus, substania nigra pars compacta and cerebellum. In the cerebellum, all the isoforms are abundantly expressed in Purkinje cells.

Rabbit anti-Saporin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ELISA.
Background Info:
Saporin is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) of type I. This monomeric RNA N-glycosidase purified from seeds of the plant Saponaria officinalis also known as Soapwort, is capable of specific depurination of eukaryotic ribosomes thus arresting protein synthesis. No ligand has been identified in saporin hence its inability to transverse the cell membrane. Due to its toxicity and stability of the structure, saporin has proven extremely useful for construction of immunotoxins. The expected molecular weight of the purified saporin is 29.5 kDa.
