Cat#:PA-1329F;Product Name:Mouse Anti-Human Mesothelial Cell Antibody;Synonym:Mesothelial Cell;Background:Mesothelial cells have been found to be pivotal in tumor metastasis, peritoneal dialysis, and inflammatory response. These cells are specialized epithelial cells that line the peritoneal, pericardial, and pleural caviti es and internal organs presenting a barrier to invading organisms and physical damage. Ovarian tumor attachments occur through cancer cells binding to mesothelial cells and migrating into the surrounding tissue and vasculature. Peritoneal dialysis relies o n the intact transport function of mesothelial cells to allow transfer of waste products from the underlying vasculature to the dialysis fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Host response to peritoneal infection is mediated by the inflammatory cascade initiated and cytokines release by peritoneal mesothelial cells. Research into the biology of mesothelial cells continues with the goal of developing methods to provide more effective treatments for disease.;Description:Mouse Anti-Human Mesothelial Cell Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Mouse;Species Reactivity:Human;Clone#:HBME-2;Isotype:IgM;Application:IHC;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
