PSCA Antibody (741009)

PSCA was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Mouse Anti-Human PSCA Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7636) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cell membranes of epithelial cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.

Background

PSCA (prostate stem cell antigen) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface protein of the Thy-1/Ly-6 family. PSCA is expressed in differentiating cells and epithelial cells of the prostate, bladder, kidney, skin, esophagus, stomach and placenta. It may be up- or down-regulated in cancer and may promote or suppress the tumor, depending on location. Mature human PSCA (amino acids 21-95) shares approximately 65% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat PSCA.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
