From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
This antibody binds human glypican-1, which is a cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate. This protein is required for skeletal muscle differentiation. Glypican-1 (GPC1) was significantly expressed in serum exosomes of patients with pancreatic cancer and so GPC1 is considered as a tumor marker for pancreatic cancer.
Alternative Names
GPC1
UniProt

Immunogen
The original antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with NIH 3T3/HER2-3400 cells expressing high levels of p185HER2.
Application Notes
The antibody immunoprecipitated p185HER2 from NIH3T3 cells. The binding of the antibody to human tumor cell lines was investigated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Increased in cellular fluorescence observed with SK-BR-3 breast adenocarcinoma cells and squamous carcinoma cell line A431, where the binding of the antibody correlated with the levels of p185HER2 expressed by these two cell lines. The antibody inhibited cellular proliferation of SK-BR-3 overexpressing p185HER2 by 56%. The antibody significantly affected the growth of the cell lines MDA-MB-361 and MDA-MB-175-VII, which also express high levels of p185HER2. Further, the antibody completely prevented colony formation by these cells in soft agar. Furthermore, resistance to the cytotoxic effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha is significantly reduced in the presence of this antibody (Hudziak et al., 1989; PMID: 2566907). The humanized IgG1 version of the antibody was constructed and it bound the p185HER2 antigen with higher affinity compared to its parent antibody, it had a similar potency in blocking SK-BR-3 cell proliferation and it supported antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against SK-BR-3 cells (Carter et al., 1992; PMID: 1350088).
