Isotype

Rat IgG2a kappa

Specificity

The rat monoclonal antibody M3/38 recognizes an epitope within amino acids 40-100 in N-terminal domain of murine galectin 3, a 35 kDa lectin expressed both intracellularly, and after its secretion also on the cell surface.

Application

FC (QC tested)

Application details

Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-5 μg/ml.

Reactivity

Human, Mouse

Immunogen

murine galectin-3

Antigen description

Galectin-3 is a galactose-binding lectin, which modulates intercellular interactions and interactions of the cell with ECM, as well as it is a nuclear protein and a component of inner mitochondrial membrane. Galectin-3 binds IgE, and takes part in formation of immunological synapse. It is detected cytoplasmatically in adenomas and carcinomas by immunohistochemistry. It is expressed in colonic and intestinal epithelium, papillary and follicular carcinomas, neoplastic astrocytes, inflammatory macrophages, and some lymphocytes. Upregulation of galectin-3 is involved in cancer progression and metastasis.

Separation of SK-MEL-30 cells stained using anti-human Galectin-3 (M3/38) APC antibody (concentration in sample 1.67 μg/ml, red-filled) from SK-MEL-30 cells stained using negative control (MOPC-173) APC antibody (concentration in sample 1.67 μg/ml, same as Galectin-3 APC concentration, black-dashed) in flow cytometry analysis (surface staining) of SK-MEL-30 cell suspension.
