Melanoma Inhibitory Activity (MIA) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Immunohistochemistry: This antibody stained formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas infiltrating ductal adenocarcinoma tissue. The recommended concentration is 1.0-2.0 µg/ml with an overnight incubation at 4°C. An HRP-labeled polymer detecttion system was used with an alcohol-soluble AEC chromogen. Optimal results for these conditions were achieved with heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 6.0 Sodium Citrate buffer enzyme induced antigen retrievalwith proteinase K at room temperature. Optimal conditions may vary. Tissue samples were provided by the Cooperative Human Tissue Network which is funded by the National Cancer Institute. Indirect ELISA: To detect Human MIA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required. In conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Human MIA. Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human MIA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required. In conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-Human MIA (AP01143BT-S or AP01143BT-N) as a Detection antibody, it allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Human MIA. Western blot: To detect Human MIA this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Human MIA is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Background	Melanoma Inhibitory Activity (MIA) was originally identified as an inhibitor of the in vitro growth of malignant melanoma cells. It was the first discovered member of a family of secreted cytokines termed the MIA/OTOR family. The four known members of this family; Melanoma Inhibitory Activity, MIA2, OTOR and TANGO each contain a Src homology-3 (SH3)-like domain. Melanoma Inhibitory Activity is an autocrine growth regulatory protein secreted from chondrocytes and malignant melanoma cells that promotes melanoma metastasis by binding competitively to fibronectin and laminin in a manner that results in melanoma cell detachment from the extracellular matrix in vivo. Elevated levels of Melanoma Inhibitory Activity may represent a clinically useful marker for diagnosis of melanoma metastasis as well as a potential marker for rheumatoid arthritis.
Synonyms	Melanoma inhibitory activity
