Anti-Tenascin C (Stromal Marker For Epithelial Malignancy) Monoclonal Antibody

In Western blotting, it reacts with two bands of ~MW of 210kDa and 300kDa, identified as two isoforms of Tenascin C. Specificity of This monoclonal antibody is validated by sequential immunoprecipitation with a PAb against Tenascin C. Tenascin C is a multifunctional, disulfide-linkedhexameric 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.
