Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 52kDa, identified as prostate specific acid phosphatase (PSAP). PASE/4LJ is highly specific to PSAP and shows no cross-reaction with other phosphatases. It does not inhibit the enzymatic activity of PSAP. This antibody reacts with non-neoplastic adult and fetal prostatic glands, primary and metastatic prostatic carcinomas. ScyTek's PASE/4LJ is recommended for immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. Unlike polyclonal antibody to PSAP, PASE/4LJ Mab shows no staining in granulocytes, osteoclasts, parietal cells of the stomach, liver cells, renal cell or breast carcinomas.
