Intelectin-1 (3G9) Anti-Human Mouse IgG MoAb 1

Intelectin-1 is a secretory animal lectin that binds to galactofuranose. Human intelectin-1 is a glycoprotein mainly secreted from intestinal goblet cells. It was reported that the protein was related to inflammation or parasite infection. Recently, it was found that intelectin-1 was secreted from epithelioid-type malignant pleural mesothelioma into pleural effusion. Human intelectin-1 is not expressed on normal mesothelial cells and most cancer cells including lung adenocarcinoma. Therefore, this antibody can be a very useful tool for immunohistochemical research of epithelioid-type malignant pleural mesothelioma. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.
