FAP antibody (Internal Region)

Catalog No. ABIN349584

Product Details anti-FAP Antibody

Target: FAP (Fibroblast Activation Protein, alpha (FAP))

Binding Specificity: Internal Region

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This FAP antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Specificity: This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography.  This antibody is known to react with mouse FAP protein.  A BLAST analysis was used to suggest partial cross-reactivity with FAP from human and rat sources based on ~88% homology with the immunizing sequence.    Reactivity with FAP from other sources has not been determined.

Characteristics: This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) is expressed in the stroma of sites that are undergoing wound healing. In addition, it has recently been reported that FAP is expressed in the stroma of sites of metastatic disease. Inhibition of FAP may lead to a dramatic decrease in the number of metastatic osteosarcoma lung nodules. FAP exists as an inactive monomer and when activated forms homodimers or heterodimers with DPP4. Multiple isoforms of FAP are reported as alternative splicing products from a common gene.

Purification: purified

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of mouse FAP protein.
Immunogen Type: Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting.  Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.  Expect a band approximately 88 kDa in size corresponding to FAP by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
