Quick Overview for Androgen Receptor antibody (AA 299-315) (CF®640R) (ABIN6156079)

Target: Androgen Receptor (AR)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Product Details anti-Androgen Receptor Antibody (CF®640R)

Binding Specificity: AA 299-315

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-Androgen Receptor (AR441 + DHTR/882), CF640R Conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a protein of 110 kDa, which is identified as androgen receptor (AR). It reacts with full length, and the newly described A form of the receptor. It does not cross react with estrogen, progesterone, or glucocorticoid receptors. The expression of AR is reportedly inversely correlated with histologic grade i.e. well differentiated prostate tumors show higher expression than the poorly differentiated tumors. In prostate cancer, AR has been proposed, as a marker of hormone-responsiveness and thus it may be useful in identifying patients likely to benefit from anti-androgen therapy. Anti-androgen receptor has been useful clinically in differentiating morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (mBCC) from desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) in the skin.This MAb is superb for staining of formalin/paraffin tissues. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide, aa 299-315, (STEDTAEYSPFKGGYTK) of human AR (AR441), Recombinant human DHTR protein (DHTR/882)
