Mouse anti-Human p504s Monoclonal Antibody | anti-p504s antibody

p504s

Cat. Num. AAA344035

• Reactivity: Human
• Synonyms: p504s; Monoclonal Antibody; anti-p504s antibody

• Host: Mouse
• Reactivity: Human
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Form/Format: Tris Buffer, pH 7.3 - 7.7, with 1% BSA and <0.1% Sodium Azide

• Application Notes: The recommended working dilution range is 1:100 - 1:200.
• Positive Control: Prostate Carcinoma
• Principles and Procedures: Visualization of the antigen present in tissue sections is accomplished in a multi-step immunohistochemical staining process, in conjunction with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or alkaline phosphatase (AP) linked detection system. The process involves the addition of the stated antibody (primary antibody) to a tissue slide, followed by a secondary antibody (linked to an enzyme complex) which specifically binds to the primary antibody. A chromogenic substrate is then added which reacts with the enzyme complex, resulting in a colorimetric reaction at the site of the antigen. Results are interpreted using a light microscope.
• Reconstitution: The prediluted antibody does not require any mixing, dilution, reconstitution, or titration; the antibody is ready-to-use and optimized for staining.; The concentrated antibody requires dilution in the optimized buffer, to the recommended working dilution range.
• Specimen Collection and Preparation for Analysis: Each tissue section should be fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin, cut to the applicable thickness (4um), and placed on a glass slide that is positively charged. The prepared slide may then be baked for a minimum of 30 minutes in a 53-65 degree C oven (do not exceed 24 hours).; Note: Performance evaluation has been shown on human tissues only. Variable results may occur due to extended fixation time or special processes of specific tissue preparations.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 2-8 degree C. Do not freeze.; To ensure proper stability and delivery of the antibody after each run, replace the cap and immediately place the bottle in a refrigerator in an upright position.; Positive and negative controls should be simultaneously run with unknown specimens.

Intended Use: The p504s [IHC504] antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy the presence of associated antigens in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections using IHC test methods.
Description: p504s, also known as alpha-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase (AMACR), is an enzyme localized in the peroxisome and mitochondria, which functions in beta-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids, as well as bile synthesis. AMACR has been clinically indicated as a tissue biomarker for prostate cancer and colorectal cancer, as well as high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, a precursor lesion of prostate cancer. p504s overexpression has also been detected in a number of other cancers including ovarian, breast, bladder, lung, and renal cell carcinomas, lymphoma, and melanoma.
