Mucin 1 (MUC1 Glycoprotein, CD227) (FITC)

May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.

Recognizes human Mucin-1. Binds with high efficiency with an epitope within the VNTR tandem repeat peptide region of MUC1 molecule. Reacts with VNTR20 recombinant unglycosylated fragment of MUC1 protein (and very weakly with monomeric MUC1 peptide), with deglycosylated and underglycosylated natural MUC1 (but not with completely glycosylated natural milk MUC1). Belongs to MAb clusters 6 and 7 according to ISOMB TD-4 classification. Non crossreactive with normal serum proteins and human tissues of nonepithelial origin.
