    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to Pacific Blue™ fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and formulated at 200 µg/mL. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated #56426

    Fluorescent Properties

    • ← Excitation: 410 nm ← Emission: 455 nm

    Product Usage Information

    SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays.

    Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate.

    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.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    PRAME (E7I1B) Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ Pacific Blue™ 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).
    PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma) is a cancer/testis antigen not normally expressed in any tissues except testis, but is upregulated in tumors. PRAME is expressed in melanoma cells and is recognized by cytolytic T-cells (4). It is also upregulated in other diseases, such as synovial sarcoma (5), NSCLC (6), and breast cancer, where it is thought to contribute to tumorigenesis and metastasis (7). PRAME is also highly expressed in liquid tumors such as AML (8) and can be predictive of clinical outcome in some circumstances (9). PRAME and other cancer/testis antigens are currently being pursued as novel immunotherapy targets and diagnostic biomarkers (10).
