RDI Divison of researchd Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, histochemistry, 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.
PSA (see also bulk clones for Elisa use)
Mab to Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
cat#RDI-PRO10815 $375.00/vial
Clone ER-PR8
Category Mouse monoclonal, hybridoma
Reagent Ascites
Ig Class IgG1
Immunogen Isolated from human seminal plasma
Specificity/Clinical Application The presence of prostate specific antigen is highly specific for demonstration of the prostatic origin of a malignancy. Mab 222MPA has been shown to be a valuable reagent for the identifica-tion of primary and metastatic prostatic carci-noma. The antibody reacts with a 34 kDa protein in benign and malignant prostatic epithelium.

Positive Contrl: prostate or prostate carcinoma
Localization: Cytoplasmic
Background: Recognizes a single protein of 33-34kDa, identified as PSA. This "cocktail" is composed of two clones whose epitopes are not precisely mapped, but experimental data suggets that they are different. This cocktail is highly specific to PSA and stains prostatic secretory and ductal epithelium in both normal and neoplastic tissues. PSA is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease (kallikrein family) exclusively produced by the prostate pithelium, and abundant in seninal fluid. PSA can be detected in the sera of patients with prostatic carcinoma. It is predominantly complexed to a liver derived serine protease inhibitor, alpha-1- antichymotrypsin. A higher proportion of serum PSA is complexed to ACT in prostate cancer than in benign prostate hyperplasia.
