Additional Information

Alternative name C-ERC/Mesothelin (306)
Immunogen Synthetic peptide of the part of Rat C-ERC/Mesothelin (GKEPNVVDENLIFYQNWELEA) Purification: Purified with antigen peptide
Isotype IgG  (Matching secondary antibodies)
Description Erc has been identified as a gene showing stronger expression in cancer-affected renal cell than in normal renal tissue in Eker rats (a rat model of renal cancer). The human homologue of the protein encoded by this gene is called MPF (megakaryocyte potentiating factor) or mesothelin. This protein is detected especially prominently in mesothelial cells, and its involvement has been suggested in the development of mesothelioma, making it a promising tumor marker. In humans, involvement of this protein has also been suggested in the development of pancreatic, ovarian and pulmonary cancers, etc. The protein is expressed as a GPI anchor-type membranous protein (about 71 kDa in molecular weight), which is thought to be digested by a furin-like protease to yield fragments about 31 kDa and 40 kDa in size. We have prepared an antibody specific to C-ERC/Mesothelin (40 kDa fragment). This antibody specifically recognizes rat C-ERC/Mesothelin which is applicable for the analysis of ERC expression in mesothelial cells, tumors, cell lines, etc.

Application Details

Application Notes This antibody can be stained in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues by several immunohistochemical techniques such as Avidin Biotin Complex (ABC) Method. The optimal dilution is 0.2 - 5 g/mL, however, the dilution rate should be optimized by each laboratories. This antibody can be used for western blotting in concentration of 0.1 - 2 ug /mL.
