Clone: T2H5
Background: Tenascin is an extracellular matrix glyoprotein which is found in numerous types of tissues, but most predominately in the nervous system. It has been shown to be upregulated at the edge of healing wounds and in the stroma of many tumors. Three types of tenascin have been identified, tenascin-C, which was the first to be identified, tenascin-R, which is found almost exclusively in the central nervous system, and tenascin-X, a mammalian tenascin found in some connective tissue and around blood vessels.
Immunogen: Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from mice immunized with protein preparation from a homogenate of a human mammary tumor and mouse myeloma cells.
Purification Method: Protein A/G Chromatography
Concentration: See vial for concentration
Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide
