Rabbit polyclonal to PSCAPSCA (Prostate Stem Cell antigen) is a cell surface antigen, which is overexpressed in ~40% of primary prostate cancers and in as many as 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 zenograft model indicating that PSCA may have utility as a prognostic marker and/or therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

Tested Applications
IHCIHC-P
For IHC-P: Use at a dilution of 1:75 for 10 min at room temperature. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 10 min followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 min. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher.:
