Mesothelioma antibody

Antigen: Mesothelioma

Clonality: Monoclonal (HBME-1)

Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Catalog no.: ABIN125260

Additional Information

Immunogen: BALB/C mice were injected with suspension of human mesothelioma cells from patients with malignant epithelial mesothelioma.

Format: Liquid (prediluted)

Isotype: IgM  (Matching secondary antibodies)

Clone: HBME-1

Specificity: This antibody reacts with an unknown antigen on microvilli of mesothelioma cells. It stains normal mesothelial cells as well as epithelial mesotheliomas in a thick membrane pattern due to abundant lung microvilli on the surface of these cells.

Application Details

Application Notes: Staining Protocol: We suggest an incubation period of 60 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation should be determined by the end user. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections require high temperature antigen unmasking with 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 prior to immunostaining. Positive Control: Mesothelioma. Cellular localization: Cell membrane

Concentration: 1 to 4 ug/ml

Buffer: This antibody has been pretitered and quality controlled to work on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded as well as acetone fixed cryostat tissue sections. No further titration is required.

Storage: Store the antibody at 2-8o c. Do not use it beyond the expiration date stated on the label.

Research Area: Cancer

Restrictions: For Research Use. CE-certified for In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Use in the European Union
