Product Name :
MAGEA6 Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
The melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family consists of a number of antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The MAGE genes were initially isolated from different kinds of tumors, and based on their virtually exclusive tumor-specific expression in adult tissues, they have been used as targets for cancer immunotherapy. MAGE genes encode for tumor-rejection antigens and are expressed in tumors of different histologic types, but not in normal tissues, with the exception of testis and placenta. Although a large number of MAGE genes have now been identified and extensively studied in tumors of various origin, their function in normal cells remains unknown. Alternative Name :
Melanoma-associated antigen 6; Cancer/testis antigen 1.6; CT1.6; MAGE-6 antigen; MAGE3B antigen; MAGE6; MAGE-A6 Swiss-Prot :
P43360 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide MAGEA6. (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS60272 MAGEA6 pAb.
