Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: U-87 MG cells, U2OS cells
• Positive IHC detected in: human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:500-1:1000
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:50-1:500

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

Fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAP-alpha) is a cell surface glycoprotein serine protease, which can participate in extracellular matrix degradation and is involved in many cellular processes including tissue remodeling, fibrosis, wound healing, inflammation and tumor growth (PMID: 14751930; 16223769). FAP-alpha is a single transmembrane protein that locates the cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Immunohistochemical studies have shown that FAP-alpha is transiently expressed in certain normal fetal mesenchymal tissues but that normal adult tissues as well as malignant epithelial, neural, and hematopoietic cells are generally FAP-alpha-negative. However, most of the common types of epithelial cancers contain abundant FAP-alpha-reactive stromal fibroblasts (PMID: 7911242).
