Background :
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide derived from the human Trag-3 protein.

Source :
The expression of the cancer-testis antigen Taxol resistance-associated gene-3 (TRAG-3) is associated with acquired paclitaxel (Taxol) resistance, and is expressed in a variety of cancers – e.g., breast cancer, leukemia, and melanoma. Overexpressed in taxol-resistant breast cancer line MDA 435(TR) and the doxorubicin-resistant multiple myelanoma lines 8226/Dox(40) and 8226/MDR(10)V. Weakly expressed in kidney. TRAG-3 is an attractive target for immunotherapy of cancer. First identified as a novel cancer/testis antigen, TRAG-3, (Taxol Resistance Associated Gene-3) was initially discovered in a search for new genes involved in drug resistance. Early studies of TRAG-3 revealed a minimal to absent expression in normal tissues and a marked over-expression in many carcinoma cell lines including several melanoma lines. By RT-PCR evaluation of TRAG-3 two transcripts are seen in many carcinoma cell lines with products in the the 799 bp and a second alternatively spliced transcript. Synonyms: Taxol-resistant-associated protein 3 <

Antibodies are immunoglobulins secreted by effector lymphoid B cells into the bloodstream. Antibodies consist of two light peptide chains and two heavy peptide chains that are linked to each other by disulfide bonds to form a “Y” shaped structure. Both tips of the “Y” structure contain binding sites for a specific antigen. Antibodies are commonly used in medical research, pharmacological research, laboratory research, and health and epidemiological research. They play an important role in hot research areas such as targeted drug development, in vitro diagnostic assays, characterization of signaling pathways, detection of protein expression levels, and identification of candidate biomarkers.
