Further Information

Applications Description:
MON-161 is useful for immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue, immunoblotting and flow cytometry. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration; recommended range is 1:50 ? 1:100 for flow cytometry, and for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated Horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:50 ? 1:500 for immunoblotting applications.
Background:
Recently, a novel gene family has been identified and characterized, designated the Reticulons because the proteins encoded by these genes are anchored to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. Reticulon-1 was formerly designated NSP for Neuroendocrine-Specific-Protein, because it is specifically expressed in neural and neuroendocrine tissues. The NSP-gene has been mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization to Human chromosome 14q21-q22. The NSP-gene encodes three overlapping proteins, i.e. Reticulon-1A (NSP-A), Reticulon-1B (NSP-B), and Reticulon-1C (NSP-C). These proteins were found to be anchored to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum through their common carboxy-terminal regions. Reticulon-1A is a protein with a molecular weight (MW) of about 135 kDa, which occurs in various isoforms presumably depending on the degree of phosphorylation of serine residues. In lung cancer diagnosis Reticulon-1A appeared to be a reliable marker for the detection of neuroendocrine differentiation, since most of the small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and carcinoid tumors showed expression of Reticulon-1A. Reticulon-1B is a phosphoprotein with a MW of 45 kDa and is restricted to the lung cancer cell line NCI-H82. Reticulon-1B is sofar not found in Human tissues. Reticulon-1C is a protein with a MW of 23 kDa which is not phosphorylated and is found with Reticulon-1A in SCLC (cell lines) and not in non-SCLC (cell cultures).

Source:
MON-161 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a Mouse immunized with a partially purified bacterially expressed Reticulon-1A (NSP-A) hybrid protein (?GAL-NSP-A 6-776).
Specificity:
MON-161 exclusively recognizes the 135 kD Reticulon-1A protein in immunoblots of NCI-H82 and other SCLC cell lines, and stains normal and pathological neural and neuroendocrine tissues. The epitope of MON-161 is loCated between amino acid residues 174-337 of Reticulon-1A.
Synonyms:
