PSCA (Prostate Stem Cell antigen) is a cell surface antigen which is overexpressed in ~40% of primary prostate cancers and in nearly 100% of metastatic ones.
PSCA is also overexpressed in a majority of transitional cell and pancreatic carcinomas.
Antibody directed against PSCA inhibits tumorigenesis, slows tumor growth, prolongs survival and prevents metastasis in a preclinical xenograft model indicating that PSCA may have utility as a prognostic marker and/or therapeutic target in prostate cancer.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:ELISA: 1:1000Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
