MAb anti-human MAGEC2 (CT10) (Clone LX-CT10.5)
InVivoMAb anti-mouse NKG2D (CD314) (Clone: CX5)
The LX-CT10.5 monoclonal antibody reacts with human melanoma-associated antigen C2 (MAGEC2), also known as CT10 and HCA587. MAGEC2 is one of many cancer/testis (CT)-antigens. CT antigens are thought to repress the expression of some genes necessary for cellular differentiation. Normally, MAGEC2 expression is restricted to male germ cells in the testis. However, MAGEC2 is abnormally expressed in a wide variety of malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, bladder cancer, breast cancer, sarcoma, and lung cancer. MAGEC2 positive tumors are associated with reduced overall survival rates in prostate, hepatocellular, breast, and non-small cell lung carcinomas. Since MAGEC2 is highly expressed in cancer cells but absent from normal adult tissues, it is considered an ideal target for cancer immunotherapy. The LX-CT10.5 antibody is useful for identifying MAGEC2 expressing cells in immunohistochemical studies.
