*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Name: Anti-Lewis y/b hapten [NCRC37]
  • Clone: NCRC37
  • Tool sub type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugation: Unconjugated
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: ELISA ; FACS ; IHC ; Fn
  • Description: Blood group related antigens are a group of carbohydrate determinants present on both glycoproteins and glycolipids. They are usually mucin-type, and are detected on erythrocytes, certain epithelial cells, and in secretions of certain individuals. Lewis- y/b is a cell surface carbohydrate blood group antigen expressed at very low levels in normal tissue, but often found to be over-expressed on breast, lung, colon and ovarian cancer cells. Lewis-y antigen, a difucosylatedtetrasaccharide, is found on type 2 blood group oligosaccharides. The antibody, NCRC37, is a pan-reactive, anti-colorectal tumour antibody and binds strongly to coloretal tumour cells and to post mortem cryopreserved tissues of brain, spleen, heat, lung, kidney, testes, oesophagus or stomach. Lewis y antigen has been evaluated as a clinical marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer.
  • Immunogen: Tissue cultured colorectal tumor cell lines (C170, C146, Colo205, and JW)
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Myeloma used: NS0
  • Recommended controls: C14 (NCRC10)
