Description: Recognizes a protein of 100kDa, which is identified as androgen receptor (AR). It reacts with full length, and the newly described A form of the receptor. It does not cross react with estrogen, progesterone, or glucocorticoid receptors. The expression of AR is reportedly inversely correlated with histologic grade i.e. well differentiated prostate tumors show higher expression than the poorly differentiated tumors. In prostate cancer, AR has been proposed, as a marker of hormone-responsiveness and thus it may be useful in identifying patients likely to benefit from anti-androgen therapy. Anti-androgen receptor has been useful clinically in differentiating morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (mBCC) from desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) in the skin. This mAb is superb for staining of formalin/paraffin tissues.
Immunogen: A recombinant partial-length human AR protein corresponding to amino acids 151-350 was used as the immunogen for the Androgen Receptor antibody.
Storage: Store the Androgen Receptor antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
