The microsomal fraction of human renal cortical tissue homogenate was used as the immunogen for this CA9 antibody.
Recognizes a glycoprotein of ~200kDa, identified as carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX/CA9/gp200). Its epitope resides in the carbohydrate domain of gp200. It shows no significant cross-reactivity with other carbohydrate determinants, such as the Lewis blood group antigens, epithelial membrane antigen, HMFG, and AB blood group antigens. In normal kidney, CA9 is localized along the brush border of the pars convoluta and pars recta segments of the proximal tubule, as well as focally along the luminal surface of Bowmans capsule adjoining the outgoing proximal tubule. Reportedly, CA9 is expressed by 93% of primary and 84% of metastatic renal cell carcinomas. This mAb may be useful in the investigations of carcinomas of proximal nephrogenic differentiation especially those showing tubular differentiation.
0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
Antibody Type:
Primary Antibody
Application Dilute:
Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
Application Notes:
The optimal dilution of the CA9 antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
