Additional Information

Immunogen RNL-1 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with the small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H82.
Format Purified
Isotype IgG1  (Matching secondary antibodies)
Clone RNL-1
Description NCAM, as a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of adhesion molecules is characterized by several immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains. The extracellular part of NCAM consists of five of these Ig domains and two fibronectin type III homology regions. NCAM is encoded by a single copy gene composed of 26 exons. However, at least 20-30 distinct isoforms can be generated by alternative splicing and by posttranslational modifications, such as sialylation. During sialylation, polysialic acid (PSA) carbohydrates are attached to the extracellular part of NCAM. Through its extracellular region, NCAM mediates homophilic interactions. In addition, NCAM can also undergo heterophilic interactions by binding extracellular matrix components, such as laminin, or other cell adhesion molecules, such as integrins.
Specificity Human and mouse.

Application Details

Application Notes RNL-1 was defined as a cluster I antibody during the Second International Workshop on Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Antibodies. RNL-1 recognizes NCAM which is present in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and lung carcinoids. RNL-1 is suitable for immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, recommended range is 1:100 - 1:200 for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent.
Storage Store at 4 o C, or in small aliquots at -20 o C.
