Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human
PTEN
Clone 6H2.1
The PTEN protein is a lipid phosphatase with tumor-suppressing abilities. Reduced expression of PTEN has been reported in a variety of malignancies, including breast (1), prostate (2) and endometrial cancer. In breast and prostate cancer, loss of PTEN expression has been shown to correlate positively with advanced stage. Additionally, PTEN has been suggested as a predictive biomarker for Herceptin™ (trastuzumab) efficacy in the treatment of HER2 overexpressing breast cancer (3).

- Certified manufacturing facilities guarantee full quality control
Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use.
This antibody is intended for laboratory use to identify qualitatively by light microscopy PTEN expressing cells in normal and neoplastic tissues using immunohistochemical (IHC) test methods. Differential identification is aided by the results from a panel of antibodies. Interpretation must be made within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

Immunogen
Full-length recombinant human PTEN protein.
Specificity
Monoclonal mouse anti-PTEN clone 6H2.1, identifies a single band at the 55 kD predicted molecular weight for PTEN in Western blots of MCF-7, T-47D and MDA-MB-435S PTEN homozygous cell lines. PTEN null cell lines BT-549 and MDA-MB-468 cell lines were unreactive with clone 6H2.1 by Western blot analysis. Immunoblots of MCF-7 cells induced to express PTEN demonstrated an increased band intensity at the expected size while a weak band was observed on immunoblots of ZR-75-1 cell lysates containing a hemizygous deletion of PTEN and a mis-sense mutation in the remaining allele (11). Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded cell blocks of Ishikawa 3-H-12 cells transfected with PTEN stained positively whereas PTEN deficient 3-H-12 cell block sections were unreactive (12).
Reagent Provided
Anti-PTEN is provided in liquid form as tissue culture supernatant (containing fetal bovine serum) dialyzed against 0.05 mol/L Tris-HCl, pH 7.2, and 0.015 mol/L sodium azide. Contains stabilizing protein.
