MGMT is a rabbit monoclonal antibody derived from cell culture supernatant that is concentrated, dialyzed, filter sterilized and diluted in buffer pH7.5, containing BSA and sodium azide as a preservative.
High MGMT antibody expression has been reported in Glioma, Myeloma, Melanoma, Colon and Pancreatic Cancers, where inhibition or down-regulation make alkylating drug treatments more effective. MGMT expression is lost in some cancer types such as Lymphomas, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Astrocyte Tumors, Breast, and Prostate Cancer, where it may fail to prevent mutations. A study detected protein expression of MGMT by IHC and MGMT promoter methylation detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) were performed in a series of newly identified Glioblastomas and found that the MGMT status detected by either IHC or MSP was significantly correlated with the treatment response and survival of Glioblastoma patients. MGMT methylation is frequently observed in sporadic colorectal cancer and was recently correlated with the C>T allele at SNP rs16906252, within the transcriptional enhancer element of the promoter. MGMT methylation has also been associated with KRAS mutations, particularly G>A transitions. Another study address the association between sequence variants within the MGMT (O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) promoter-enhancer region and methylation of MGMT in premalignant lesions from smokers and lung adenocarcinomas, their biological effects on gene regulation, and targeting MGMT for therapy and found strong evidence that the A allele of a MGMT promoter-enhancer SNP is a key determinant for MGMT methylation in lung carcinogenesis. Moreover, TMZ treatment may benefit a subset of lung cancer patients methylated for MGMT.

Product Notes
The MGMT/AGAT (Catalog #AAA370503) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MGMT/AGAT (EP337) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MGMT/AGAT, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
