Androgen RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES
(anti-Human and others as indicated)
RDI Divison of researchd Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.

Background: Recognizes a protein of 110kDa which is identified as androgen
receptor (AR). It reacts with full length, and the newly described A form
of the receptor. It does not cross react with estrogen, progesterone, or
glucocorticoid receptors. The expression of AR is reportedly inversely correlated
with histologic grade i.e. well differentiated prostate tumors show higher
expression than the poorly differentiated tumors. In prostate cancer, AR
has been proposed as a marker of hormone-responsiveness and thus it
may be useful in identifying patients likely to benefit from anti- androgen

Steroid receptors are ligand-dependent intracellular proteins that stimulate
transcription of specific genes by binding to specific DNA sequences following
activation by the appropriate hormone. Androgens induce development in
male-specific organs, such as the prostate and seminal vesicle, and later
in life they control the functional activity of target tissues. Androgens
exert their effects by binding to the androgen receptor (AR) which has been
found in a variety of tissues, including reproductive organ tissue, central
nervous system tissue, and skeletal muscle.
This antibody is known to react with numerous species including primates,
bovine, sheep, pigs, rodents, birds, frogs and fish. This product does not
cross-react with estrogen, progesterone, or glucocorticoid receptors. Competition
studies using the antigenic peptide at a 10 molar excess, completely blocked
nuclear staining whereas other non-related peptides had no effect on
immunohistochemical staining.
The antibody has been used to detect AR by various procedures, including
immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry and Western blot. By Western
blot, this product detects a ~110 kDa band representing AR, faint bands at
70 and 75 kDa are also seen in pre-immune sera. Immunohistochemical
studies of both frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections
show intense nuclear staining consistent with nuclear localization of AR.
With FFPE sections, antigen retrieval methods using microwave fixation must
be utilized. New Zealand White Rabbits were immunized with the synthetic
peptide corresponding to the N-terminal 21 amino acids of rat and human AR.
An additional cysteine residue was added at the C-terminal end for
conjugation to KLH. Specific antibody against the antigenic peptide was epitope
purified by affinity chromatography.
