Monoclonal Antibody to MUC1 / EMA / CD227 (Epithelial Marker) (Clone : MUC1/520)

In Western blotting, it recognizes proteins in MW range of 265-400kDa, identified as different glycoforms of EMA. EMA may provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack. In immunohistochemical assays, it superbly stains routine formalin/paraffin carcinomas. Antibody to EMA is useful as a pan-epithelial marker for detecting early metastatic loci of carcinoma in bone marrow or liver.

Components

100 μg in 500 μl PBS containing 0.05% BSA and 0.05% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

Storage Conditions

Store the antibody at 4°C; stable for 6 months. For long-term storage; store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

Immunohistology (Formalin-fixed) (0.5-1.0ug/ml for 30 min at RT), (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)
