Melanoma Antigen Family A, 1 (Directs Expression of Antigen MZ2-E) (MAGEA1) antibody

Antigen: Melanoma Antigen Family A, 1 (Directs Expression of Antigen MZ2-E) (MAGEA1)

Synonyms: CT1.1, MAGE1, MGC9326

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

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

Catalog no.: ABIN125659

Additional Information

Alternative name: MAGE-1

Immunogen: A recombinant full length human MAGE-1 protein.

Format: Ig-fraction

Specificity: Human malignant neoplasms carry rejection antigens that are recognized by the patients' autologous, tumor directed and specific, cytolytic, CD8+ T lymphocyte clones (CTL). The MAGE family of genes codes an important group of antigens. It was identified that melanomas and primary glial brain tumors express common melanoma associated antigens (MAAs). Because MAGE-1 is expressed on a significant proportion of human neoplasms of various histological types (melanoma, brain tumors of glial origin, neuroblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, breast, gastric, colorectal, ovarian, renal cell carcinomas) and not on normal tissues, the encoded antigen may serve as a marker of early detection and target for cancer immunotherapy.

Application Details

Application Notes: Titer/Working Dilution: This antibody may be diluted to a titer of 1:50-1:100 in an ABC method. However, depending on the staining conditions employed, we suggest that final dilution should be determined by the user. Staining Protocol: We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation conditions should be determined by the 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: Melanoma. Cellular localization: Cytoplasmic, nuclear

Concentration: 100ug/ml approximately

Buffer: Purified immunoglobulin fraction of rabbit antiserum against MAGE-1 protein containing sodium azide as preservative.

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

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