Invitrogen™ SFTPB Precursor Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (RM370)

Rabbit Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Brand:  Invitrogen™ MA533047

Product Code. 16356434

Description

Specificity: reacts to human SP-B (Surfactant protein B) and proSP-B. Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of phospholipids and proteins that is secreted from type II cells in alveoli and reduces the surface tension at the alveolar air-liquid interface, providing alveolar stability necessary for normal ventillation. Four distinct proteins isolated from pulmonary surfactant are termed surfactant proteins A, B, C, and D. SP-A (28-36kDa) and SP-D (43kDa) are collagenous carbohydrate-binding proteins, whereas SP-B (8-9kDa) and SP-C (4kDa) are non-collagenous hydrophobic proteins. SP-B is expressed in pulmonary adenocarcinomas with acinar, papillary, bronchioloalveolar, and solid growth patterns. Squamous cell and large cell carcinomas of the lung and nonpulmonary adenocarcinomas do not express SP-B. ProSP-B is glycosylated in the Golgi apparatus and undergoes carboxy- and amino-terminal proteolysis by a cathepsin D-like protease.
