PGP 9.5 – MMab

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use

Protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), also known as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase-1 (UCH-L1), is a 27-kDa protein originally isolated from whole brain extracts (1). Although PGP9.5 expression in normal tissues was originally felt to be strictly confined to neurons and neuroendocrine cells (2), it has been subsequently documented in distal renal tubular epithelium, spermatogonia, Leydig cells, oocytes, melanocytes, prostatic secretory epithelium, ejaculatory duct cells, epididymis, mammary epithelial cells, Merkel cells, and dermal
fibroblasts.
Immunostaining of a plethora of different mesenchymal neoplasms with this antibody has been
demonstrated.

Antibody Type: Mouse Monoclonal
Clone: BSB-46
Isotype: IgG1/K
Reactivity: Paraffin, Frozen

Control: Brain, Testis, Colon, Pituitary, Nerve Tissue, Bowel Wall

PGP 9.5 is a mouse monoclonal antibody derived from cell culture supernatant that is concentrated, dialyzed, filter sterilized and diluted in buffer pH 7.5, containing BSA and sodium azide as a preservative.
