MUC1 Antibody [SPM132]

• Background:

  Epithelial Marker Antigen is a 265-400kDa glycoprotein. The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. It can act both as an adhesion and an anti-adhesion protein. EMA may provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack. The beta subunit contains a C-terminal domain, which is involved in cell signaling, through phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions. In immunohistochemical assays, it superbly stains routine formalin/paraffin carcinoma tissues. Antibody to EMA is useful as a pan-epithelial marker for detecting early metastatic loci of carcinoma in bone marrow or liver.

  Human

• Immunogen:

  Human milk fat globule membranes were used as the immunogen for this EMA antibody. This mAb reacts with the DTRP epitope in the tandem repeats.

• Buffer:

  PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA and 0.05% sodium azide

• Modification:

  None

• Shipping Conditions:

  Blue Ice

• Storage Conditions:

  Aliquot and Store at 2-8˚ C. Avoid freez-thaw cycles.

• Fragment:

  IgG1, kappa

• Applications Notes:

  1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. 2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
