Product Usage Information Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:50 Storage Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide and 2 mg/ml BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Protocol Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity PRAME (E7I1B) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total PRAME protein. Non-specific non-nuclear staining was observed in smooth muscle. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly163 of human PRAME protein. Background Cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) are a family of more than 100 proteins whose normal expression is largely restricted to immune privileged germ cells of the testis, ovary, and trophoblast cells of the placenta. Although most normal somatic tissues are void of CTA expression, due to epigenetic silencing of gene expression, their expression is upregulated in a wide variety of human solid and liquid tumors (1,2). As such, CTAs have garnered much attention as attractive targets for a variety of immunotherapy-based approaches to selectively attack tumors (3).
