IHC staining of FFPE human pancreatic tissue with Chromogranin A antibody (clone CHGA/4219). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 20 min and allow to cool before testing.
2 / 3
SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free Chromogranin A antibody (clone CHGA/4219) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
3 / 3
Analysis of HuProt(TM) microarray containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins using Chromogranin A antibody (clone CHGA/4219). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the CHGA/4219 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt(TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt(TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.

Application Details:
Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml
Application Note:
Optimal dilution of the Chromogranin A antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Description:
Chromogranin A is present in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body, including the neuroendocrine cells of the large and small intestine, adrenal medulla and pancreatic islets. It is an excellent marker for carcinoid tumors, pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, and other neuroendocrine tumors. Co-expression of chromogranin A and neuron specific enolase (NSE) is common in neuroendocrine neoplasms. Reportedly, co-expression of certain keratins and chromogranin indicates neuroendocrine lineage. The presence of strong anti-chromogranin staining and absence of anti-keratin staining should raise the possibility of paraganglioma. The co-expression of chromogranin and NSE is typical of neuroendocrine neoplasms. Most pituitary adenomas and prolactinomas readily express chromogranin.
