Mouse anti PSMA

Mouse anti PSMA

• Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is the most widely used marker of prostate cancer. Immunoassays for PSA using monoclonal (MAb) or polyclonal antibodies have clinical appliCations, such as monitoring and early detection of prostate cancer. However, PSA is not a perfect tumor marker because Serum levels often are elevated in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis and other nonmalignant disorders and also because levels are not always elevated in individuals with early prostate cancer. 107-1A4 is a new prostate cancer-reactive MAb which can identify additional proteins that could be of value for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. It shows selective reactivity to prostate epithelial membrane antigens.
• Host: Mouse
• Species Reactivity: Human
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clone: 107.1A4
• Type: Primary Antibodies
• Source: 107.1A4 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1/k antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from an immunized Mouse, using a two-phase immunization protocol involving the prostate cancer cell line LNCaP.
• Applications: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, ICC, IHC (frozen), IHC (paraffin)
• Field of Research: Cancer
• Assay Principle: MAb 107-1A4 could not be used in Western blot, is useful for immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissues, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry and ELISA. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration; recommended range is 1:100 – 1:1000 for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated Horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent.
• Form: Each vial contains 100 µL 1 mg/mL purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0,09% sodium azide
• Precautions: This product is intended FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY, and FOR TESTS IN VITRO, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving Humans or animals. This product contains sodium azide. To prevent formation of toxic vapors, do not mix with strong acidic solutions. To prevent formation of potentially explosive metallic azides in metal plumbing, always wash into drain with copious quantities of water.

• Storage Conditions: The antibody is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; For prolonged storage prepare appropriate aliquots and store at or below -20°C; Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2); Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided; Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day; If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation; It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product
