Scientific Data Images for MUC1 Antibody (SM3) - Chimeric - Azide and BSA Free

Western Blot: MUC1 Antibody (SM3)ChimericAzide and BSA Free [NBP2-62561]

Western Blot: MUC1 Antibody (SM3)ChimericAzide and BSA Free [NBP2-62561]

Western Blot: MUC1 Antibody (SM3) - Chimeric [NBP2-62561] - Western Blot using anti-MUC1 antibody SM3. MCF-7 cell lysate (35ug protein in RIPA buffer) were resolved on a 10% SDS PAGE gel and blots probed with the chimeric rabbit version of SM3 (NBP2-62561) at 1 ug/ml before detection using an anti-rabbit secondary antibody. A primary incubation of 1h was used and protein was detected by chemiluminescence. The predicted band size for unmodified MUC1 is 122.1kDa, though in breast cancer cell lines like MCF-7 MUC1 can be up to 90% glycosylated (c.f. Mueller et al. PMID: 10373415; T47D cells) and expected band sizes are ~250-300kDa. Thus the two bands likely represent processed (>250kDa) and unprocessed (~121kDa) populations of the protein. NBP2-62561 successfully detected human MUC1 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Immunohistochemistry: MUC1 Antibody (SM3) - Chimeric [NBP2-62561] - Immunohistochemical staining of human lung tissue using anti-MUC1 antibody. SM3 Anti-MUC1 (Mucin-1) staining of paraffin embedded human lung tissue using the rabbit-chimeric version of SM3 (NBP2-62561). Antigen retreival was acheived by microwaving in citrate buffer (pH6), followed by blocking with protein block serum-free buffer. Primary antibody incubation with NBP2-62561 was carried out at 4 ug/ml for 30 minutes. Samples were then incubated with an anti-rabbit IgG HRP secondary antibody for 20 mins followed by DAB (3,3'-diaminobenzidine), and counter-staining with haemotoxylin. Staining of type II pneumocytes may be observed. Recommended concentration, 2-4 ug/ml.

Flow Cytometry: MUC1 Antibody (SM3) - Chimeric [NBP2-62561] - Flow-cytometry using the anti-MUC1 SM3. MCF-7 cells were stained with unimmunized rabbit IgG antibody (black line) or the rabbit-chimeric version of SM3 (NBP2-62561, blue line) at a concentration of 10 ug/ml for 30 mins at RT. After washing, bound antibody was detected using anti-rabbit IgG JK (FITC-conjugate) antibody at 2 ug/ml and cells analyzed on a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.

Background: MUC-1

Mucin 1 (MUC1), also known as episialin, EMA (epithelial membrane antigen), PEM (polymorphic epithelial mucin), and CA-15-3 antigen, is a membrane-bound type I transmembrane glycoprotein (1,2). MUC1 is typically expressed in the luminal or glandular epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, breast, lungs, and more, and is often overexpressed in epithelial cancers, but also serves a protective role against infection and helps regulate inflammatory response (2,3). Human MUC1 is 1255 amino acids (aa) in length with a theoretical molecular weight of 122 kDa; however, depending on the amount of glycosylation can weigh between 250 - 500 kDa (2,4). Structurally, MUC1 consists of a N-terminal domain which contains a signal peptide, a variable number tandem repeat region (VNTR), and a SEA domain, as well a C-terminal domain which has the extracellular domain (ECD), transmembrane domain (TMD), and cytoplasmic tail (CT) (2,3). The VNTR is comprised of between 25 - 125 repeats of a 20 aa conserved sequence (3). MUC1 is heavily O-glycosylated in the VNTR and has moderate N-glycosylation sites following the VNTR and in the ECD (2). Glycosylation contributes to MUC1's functional properties (2). The MUC1 gene contains seven exons, giving rise to several MUC1 isoforms as a result of alternative splicing (2).

Overexpression of mucins, including MUC1, is a feature of many epithelial cancers (1,3,5,6). The presence of truncated glycan structures called tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) on MUC1 play a role in cancer progression and a loss of apical-basal polarity (5). Carbohydrate-binding partners called lectins are the primary binding partners of TACAs that give rise to the pro-tumor microenvironment and metastasis (5). Given this unique feature, TACAs are a potential target for cancer immunotherapies (5). There are a number of vaccines, drugs, and antibodies targeting MUC1 for treatment of a variety of cancers including breast, lung, and prostate (6). In addition to a role in cancer progression, MUC1, and specifically the CT portion, has been shown to have a positive, anti-inflammatory role in a variety of lung and airway infections (7).
