Anti Surfactant protein A (human, hSP-A)

Mouse monoclonal antibody

Cat.No. HYB 238-04

Subclass IgG1/k

Presentation:

Preparation: Protein-A/G purified
Content: Available in 200 無 and 1 mL
Concentration: 1 mg/mL
Solvent: 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, with 0.5 M NaCl and 15 mM sodium azide
Storage: In the dark at 4-8慢

Antigen:

Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is synthesized and secreted by lung epithelial cells. It belongs to group III of the family of C-type lectins and members of this group has overall structure consisting of multiple globular head regions linked by triple-helical, collagen-like, strands. This group also includes SP-D and the serum proteins mannan-binding protein, conglutinin and collectin-43, all of which have been shown to bind to the C1q receptor found on a wide variety of cells. Both SP-D and SP-A have been shown to enhance oxygen radical production by alveolar macrophages. The serum concentration is 45 ng/ml in healthy individuals (1).

Immunogen:

Native SP-A purified from bronchioaveolar lavage from proteinosis patients

Specificity:

HYB 238-04 is specific for human pulmonary SP-A

Epitope specificity:

Not determined

Reactivity:

In Western blotting after SDS-PAGE HYB 238-04 reacts with reduced forms of SP-A and weaker with non-reduced forms (3).
In immunohistochemical staining from paraffin embedded tissue samples, HYB 238-04 reacts specifically with human SP-A. Immunoreactivity is seen with alveolar type II cells, nonciliated bronchial cells and a subset of alveolar macrophages. No reactivity in samples from pancreas, intestines, thymus, prostate gland or the peritoneal cavity lining cells (3).
HYB 238-04 reacts strongly with SP-A when tested in ELISA with SP-A directly coated onto the microtiter well.
