Tenascin C (Stromal Marker For Epithelial Malignancy) (TNC/2981R), 1mg/mL

Primary

Antibodies

Purified, BSA-free

Room temperature

210 kDa and 300 kDa

In Western blotting, this antibody reacts with two bands of ~MW of 210 kDa and 300 kDa, identified as two isoforms of Tenascin C. Specificity of this MAb is validated by sequential immunoprecipitation with a PAb against Tenascin C. Tenascin C is a multifunctional, disulfide-linked hexameric extracellular matrix glycoprotein expressed in association with mesenchymal epithelial interactions during development and in the neo-vasculature and stroma of undifferentiated tumors. In adults, it is restricted to certain epithelial-stromal interfaces and increases markedly in hyper-proliferative diseases and in stroma of many neoplasms, including gliomas, breast, squamous and lung carcinomas.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.

Extracellular matrix in tonsil and blood vessels. Stroma of many tumors such as breast, squamous cell, and lung carcinomas. Staining of normal fibroblasts serves as internal positive control

Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody|Does not react with rat|Immunohistology (formalin): 2-4 ug/mL for 30 minutes at RT|Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA pH 9.0 for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes|Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
