    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

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Mesothelin (D9R5G) XP® Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total mesothelin protein. The antibody conjugate detects both uncleaved (full-length) and cleaved forms of mesothelin, but does not detect the cleaved fragment corresponding to megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF).

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to human mesothelin protein.

    Background

    The MSLN gene encodes a 69 kDa precursor protein that is proteolytically cleaved to yield megakaryocyte potentiating factor (MPF) and a GPI-anchored membrane protein termed mesothelin (1). Expression of (cleaved) mesothelin is largely confined to mesothelial cells of normal pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum, but has been reported to be overexpressed in some cancers, including mesothelioma, and some pancreatic and ovarian adenocarcinomas (1,2). Although suggested to be involved in cell adhesion, the physiological functions of mesothelin have not been determined. It is known, however, that mesothelin can be shed from the cell surface following cleavage by TNF-α converting enzyme. Research studies show that serum levels of mesothelin are markedly increased in patients with mesothelioma and ovarian cancer (1), suggesting that serum mesothelin levels may have utility as a cancer biomarker (1-3).
