Scientific Data

Detection of Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of WI-38 human lung fibroblast cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human Fibroblast Activation Protein a/FAP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3715) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Fibroblast Activation Protein a/FAP at approximately 97 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP in Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Fibroblast Activation Protein a/FAP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human squamous cell carcinoma using Sheep Anti-Human Fibroblast Activation Protein a/FAP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3715) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to connective tissue.

Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP in Human Basal Cell Carcinoma. Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human basal cell carcinoma using Sheep Anti-Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3715) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP by Simple WesternTM. Simple Western lane view shows lysates of IMR‑90 human lung fibroblast cell line and WI‑38 human lung fibroblast cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP at approximately 130 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3715) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF016). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Western Blot Shows Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line. Western blot shows lysates of WI‑38 human lung fibroblast cell line and human FAP knockout WI‑38 human lung fibroblast cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3715) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF016). A specific band was detected for Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha /FAP at approximately 97 kDa (as indicated) in the parental WI‑38 human lung fibroblast cell line, but is not detectable in knockout WI‑38 human lung fibroblast cell line. GAPDH (AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.

Background: Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha/FAP
FAP (also known as seprase) is a Type II transmembrane serine protease that is structurally related to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (1). FAP has substrate specificity similar to dipeptidyl peptidase IV, which is specific for N-terminal Xaa-Pro sequences, but FAP is also an endopeptidase able to degrade gelatin and Type I collagen (2). The enzymatically active form of FAP is a dimer (3). FAP has a restricted tissue distribution. It is not detectable in normal tissues or resting fibroblasts, but is highly expressed on reactive stromal fibroblasts in epithelial cancers (4), in granulation tissue during wound healing, and in bone and soft tissue sarcomas (5). Because of its expression patterns and enzymatic activities, FAP is believed to play roles in tumor invasion, tissue remodeling, and wound repair.
