Anti-MSLN Antibody

Mesothelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked cell-surface molecule expressed in the mesothelial lining of the body cavities and in many tumor cells. Mesothelin is a tumor antigen on the surface of human ovarian cancers and mesotheliomas. Mesothelin immunoreactivity is high in cancers of the ovary (serous papillary, endometrioid, and undifferentiated) and pancreas, with less frequent staining seen in adenocarcinomas of the endometrium, lung and stomach/esophagus. In adult mouse tissues the mesothelin transcript is present in lung, heart, spleen, liver, kidney and testis.

Store at 4°C if intended for use within one month, otherwise, store at -20°C to -80°C. The lyophilized antibody is stable for at least 18 months after the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -80°C. After reconstitution, it can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20°C to -80°C in a manual defrost freezer for 6 months without detectable loss of activity. Upon reconstitution, the antibody can also be stored for 30 days at 4°C. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles, as this will lower the activity of the antibody.
