Human von Willebrand Factor<br />

(Factor VIII-related antigen)<br />

Clone 36B11<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL lyophilized NCL-vWF F P (HIER)<br />

1 mL liquid NCL-L-vWF F P (HIER)<br />

7 mL Bond ready-to-use PA0400 P (HIER)<br />

Human von Willebrand factor (or factor VIII-related antigen) is a 270 kD<br />

multimeric plasma glycoprotein. It mediates platelet adhesion to injured<br />

vessel walls and serves as a carrier and stabilizer for coagulation factor VIII.<br />

The von Willebrand factor has functional binding domains to platelet<br />

glycoprotein Ib, glycoprotein Ib/IIIa, collagen and heparin. von Willebrand<br />

factor is synthesized by endothelial cells and is reported to be expressed in<br />

a number of tumors of vascular origin.<br />

Hypoxia Inducible Gene 2 Protein<br />

Clone HX34Y New!<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid NCL-L-HIG2 P (HIER)<br />

The gene encoding hypoxia-inducible gene 2 protein (HIG2) is one of the<br />

transcriptional targets for the activated beta-catenin/Tcf-4 complex and its<br />

product functions as an autocrine g<strong>row</strong>th factor that enhances cell g<strong>row</strong>th.<br />

This gene encodes a trans-membrane protein of 7 kD molecular weight that<br />

was found to be expressed exclusively in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and<br />

fetal kidney. Reports indicate that ELISA analysis of clinical samples<br />

identified secretion of HIG2 protein into plasma of RCC patients even at an<br />

early stage of tumor development. HIG2 expression is reported to be<br />

expressed at higher levels in ovarian clear cell carcinomas when compared<br />

to those of clear cell renal tumors.<br />

ICAM-1 (CD54)<br />

Clone 23G12<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL lyophilized NCL-CD54-307 P (HIER)<br />

The CD54 (ICAM-1) is an integral membrane glycoprotein of 85 to 110 kD with<br />

seven potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The antigen is reported to be<br />

expressed on monocytes and endothelial cells. Expression of the CD54<br />

glycoprotein can be induced or upregulated on many cell types including<br />

B and T lymphocytes, thymocytes, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and epithelial<br />

cells. The CD54 antigen is important in mediating immune and inflammatory<br />

responses. It mediates the adhesion of T cells with antigen-presenting cells<br />

and is involved in T cell to T cell and T cell to B cell interactions.<br />

Immunoglobulin A<br />

Clone N1CLA<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid NCL-L-IgA P (HIER) W Reference Range<br />

Clone N1CLA was developed to produce reduced background staining that is<br />

associated with polyclonal antibodies on paraffin sections.<br />

IgA is a member of the antibody class of the immunoglobulin superfamily.<br />

There are several classes and subclasses (isotypes) of antibody, the<br />

antibody isotype being defined by the immunoglobulin heavy chain present<br />

in the molecule. The basic structure of an immunoglobulin molecule consists<br />

of two identical heavy chains (�������������) and two identical light chains,<br />

either kappa or lambda. IgA contains the �-chain and may be present in a<br />

serum or secretory form. In serum, 90 percent of IgA is monomeric, while in<br />

its secretory form it is the main immunoglobulin found in secretions<br />

including tears, saliva, intestinal and bronchial mucous, sweat, colostrum,<br />

and secretions from the prostate and respiratory epithelia, where it has the<br />

job of defending exposed external surfaces of the body against attack from<br />

micro organisms. Secretory IgA is synthesized locally by plasma cells and<br />

dimerized intracellularly with a cysteine-rich J-chain.<br />
