MUC16, commonly known as CA-125, is a high-molecular-weight transmembrane mucin glycoprotein that has become one of the most clinically significant biomarkers in ovarian cancer research. Beyond its established role as a serum tumor marker, MUC16 participates in critical cellular processes including cell adhesion, immune evasion, and signal transduction pathways that contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. Understanding MUC16 expression patterns and functional mechanisms remains central to advancing gynecological cancer diagnostics and therapeutic development.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 10F10, offers researchers the reliability that comes with sequence-defined production. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, recombinant technology ensures consistent performance across lots, eliminating the variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The antibody was raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide derived from human MUC16, providing defined epitope specificity for human samples.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates clear detection in paraffin-embedded human endometrial cancer tissue, with optimal staining achieved at 1:100 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval. The protocol employed standard deparaffinization followed by high-pressure antigen retrieval and overnight primary antibody incubation, yielding specific DAB visualization suitable for pathological assessment. Recommended working dilutions range from 1:50 to 1:200 for immunohistochemistry, with ELISA compatibility extending experimental flexibility.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term stability at -20°C or -80°C, this antibody serves researchers investigating ovarian and endometrial malignancies, tumor marker biology, and mucin-mediated signaling pathways where reproducible MUC16 detection is essential.
