Quick Overview for DCC antibody (ABIN967443)

Target: DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma (DCC))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This DCC antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Clone: G97-449

Product Details anti-DCC Antibody

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Characteristics: 1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to us for technical protocols.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

Purification: The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Immunogen: Recombinant Human DCC

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Applications include western blot analysis (0.5 - 2.0 µg/ml). IMR-32 cells are suggested as a positive control. Other applications not routinely tested include flow cytometric analysis (titrate between 0.06-1.0 µg/one million cells). The antibody has also been published for immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. By western blot, DCC-specific antibodies typically identify protein species with molecular weights of approximately 175-190 kDa. Doublets in this range have been reported in brain. Several smaller immunoreactive species, representing degradation products, cross-reactive species, or DCC forms arising from alternative splicing of DCC mRNA or in vivo processing of the DCC protein may also be identified.

Target Details for DCC

Target: DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma (DCC))

Alternative Name: DCC

Background: One of the most common regions of allelic loss in colorectal tumors is chromosome 18, which is lost in more than 70% of carcinomas, and in almost 50% of late adenomas. This region of loss has been mapped to chromosome 18q and a gene called Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC). DCC encodes an ~185 kDa glycoprotein with significant homology to the neural cell adhesion molecule and other related cell surface glycoproteins. The predicted amino acid sequence of DCC cDNA consists of a 1448 amino acid (aa) long transmembrane phosphoprotein. The extracellular domain consists of 1098 amino acids and has 42% sequence homology to cell adhesion proteins of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) family. DCC mRNA is found to be expressed in normal colonic mucosa, but its expression is reduced or absent in the majority of colorectal carcinomas. The loss of heterozygosity and subsequent alteration of DCC expression has also been observed in tumors of non-colorectal origin. Clone G97-449 recognizes human DCC. A truncated recombinant protein containing the intracellular domain of the human DCC was used as immunogen.
