Info
Catalogue Number | 152710 |
Applications | ELISA FACS IF Fn WB |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | 5T4 oncofetal glycoprotein |
Synonyms | Trophoblast Glycoprotein; 5T4 Oncofetal Trophoblast Glycoprotein; Wnt-Activated Inhibitory Factor 1; 5T4 Oncotrophoblast Glycoprotein; 5T4 Oncofetal Antigen; WAIF1; M6P1; 5T4; 5T4AG |
Reactivity | Mouse |
Relevance | The murine 5T4 monoclonal antibody, clone B5C9, defines the human 5T4 oncofoetal antigen, a highly glycosylated protein expressed by trophoblast and a few specialized adult epithelia. Up-regulation of 5T4 expression in some cancers is associated with poor clinical outcome; overexpression of human 5T4 cDNA in epithelial cells can alter their morphology and motility, supporting a role for such functions in cancer and development. |
Host | Mouse |
Subclass | IgG1 |
Molecular Weight (kDa) | 46.5 |
Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM supplemented with heat inactivated 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin solution and maintained at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air. |
Strain | C57BL/6 |
Notes |
Clone B5C9 inhibits the chemotactic migration towards CXCL12 exhibited by differentiating WT-ES cells (to a lesser extent than clone B1C3). IC50 for the maximally inhibitory mAb B5C9 was 6.8 µg±1.5. Epitope: proximal LRR domain of m5T4. |
