Scientific Data Images for FOLR2 Antibody (CL10) - Azide and BSA Free

Western Blot: FOLR2 Antibody (CL10)Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-81079]

Western Blot: FOLR2 Antibody (CL10)Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-81079]

Western Blot: FOLR2 Antibody (CL10) [NBP2-81079] - Mouse heart (lane 1), mouse lung (lane 2), mouse pancreas (lane 3), mouse testis (lane 4) and rat ovary (lane 5) samples were resolved on a 12% SDS PAGE gel and blots probed with NBP2-81079 at 1.5 ug/ml before being detected by a secondary antibody. Bands corresponding to the expected 29 kDa folate receptor protein as well as dimers thereof were detected.

Recommended Usage

Immunohistochemistry

Application Notes
The antibody binds specifically to FRbeta, a member of the folate receptor family. The receptor binds with high affinity to folic acid and folic acid derivatives, and transports 5-methyltetrahydrofolate into the cell. The receptor is expressed on the surface of tumour associated macrophages (TAMs) that promote growth and metastasis of tumours such as gliomas and colon, breast and lung carcinomas. Research has shown FRbeta is only expressed on activated macrophages, and thereby a monoclonal antibody that targets the receptor can be useful in the diagnosis of the cancer. Furthermore, the antibody may be conjugated with a toxin, delivering the drug only to TAMs and not to healthy macrophages.

Background: FOLR2

Folate Receptor 2 (FOLR2), also known as Folate Receptor beta, is a 38 kDa glycoprotein that is anchored to the membrane via glycosyl phosphatidylinositol. It mediates the cellular uptake of dietary folates that are required for key steps in amino acid metabolism. FOLR2 is predominantly expressed in placenta, myeloid cells, and some CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells. It is upregulated on some cancer cells and at sites of chronic inflammation.
