Scientific Data Images for Human NG2/MCSP Antibody

Detection of Human NG2/MCSP antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human NG2/MCSP by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of A375 human melanoma cell line and SK-Mel-28 human malignant melanoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human NG2/MCSP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2585) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for NG2/MCSP at approximately 300 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

NG2/MCSP antibody in Human Skin Cancer Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

NG2/MCSP in Human Skin Cancer Tissue.

NG2/MCSP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human skin cancer tissue (melanoma) using 10 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human NG2/MCSP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2585) overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained with the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of NG2/MCSP in A375 cells by Flow Cytometry

A375 cells were stained with Mouse Anti-Human NG2/MCSP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2585, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB002, open histogram) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B).

Background: NG2/MCSP

NG2, also known as MCSP, is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that has been used as a cell surface marker for melanoma (1) and glial precursor cells (2). NG2 also promotes epidermal stem cell patterned clustering (3).
