Mucins are heavily glycosylated proteins which constitute the major<br />

components of mucus covering the surface of epithelial tissues. Nine<br />

distinct epithelial mucin genes (Muc-1, 2, 3, 4, 5AC, 5B, 6, 7 and 8) have been<br />

identified. Various immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization studies<br />

have reported that these mucins are differentially expressed in epithelia<br />

with cell-type specificity. The normal gastric mucosa shows cell-type<br />

specific expression of Muc-1, Muc-5AC and Muc-6 glycoproteins. Muc-1<br />

and Muc-5AC are found in superficial epithelium and Muc-6 glycoprotein in<br />

the deep glands. Muc-1 and Muc-5AC glycoproteins are reported to be<br />

expressed in many epithelia but Muc-6 glycoprotein is mainly expressed in<br />

gastric mucosa. In addition, Muc-2 glycoprotein is not expressed in normal<br />

gastric mucosa. In gastric cancer, alterations in mucin polypeptide<br />

expression have been reported, including the loss of expression of Muc-5AC<br />

glycoprotein, increased mucin heterogeneity, glycosylation changes and the<br />

expression of simple mucin-type carbohydrates.<br />

Multiple Myeloma Oncogene 1 (MUM-1)<br />

Clone EAU32 New!<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid NCL-L-MUM1 P (HIER)<br />

7 mL Bond ready-to-use PA0129 P (HIER)<br />

The MUM-1 (multiple myeloma oncogene 1) gene was originally identified<br />

because of it’s involvement in the t(6:14) translocation observed in multiple<br />

myeloma, which causes the juxtaposition of the MUM-1 gene to the Ig heavy<br />

chain locus. MUM-1 is expressed in late plasma cell directed stages of<br />

B cell differentiation and in activated T cells, suggesting that MUM-1 may<br />

serve as a marker for lympho-hemopoetic neoplasms derived from these<br />

cells. The morphologic spectrum of MUM-1 expressing cells has been found<br />

to range from that of a centrocyte to that of a plasmablast/plasma cell.<br />

Consequently the histogenic value of MUM-1 may be to provide a marker to<br />

aid in the identification of the transition from BCL-6 positive (germinal center<br />

B cells) to CD138 positive (immunoblasts and plasma cells). MUM-1<br />

expression occurs in a wide range of lymphoid neoplasms including a<br />

proportion of diffuse B cell lymphomas but not myeloid or extra-hemopoietic<br />

neoplasms. MUM-1 is consistently expressed in myeloma cells, Reed<br />

Sternberg cells in classic Hodgkin Disease, and activated and neoplastic<br />

T cells.<br />

Keratins are a family of water insoluble proteins of 40 to 70 kD. These<br />

proteins form tonofilaments, a class of intermediate filament, in epidermis as<br />

well as in almost all other epithelia. The process of normal epidermal<br />

differentiation is characterized by a series of morphological and biochemical<br />

changes as cells progress from the germinative basal layer<br />

through the spinous and granular layers to the outer cornified layer. The 65<br />

to 67 kD cytokeratins are reported to be present only above the basal layer,<br />

the 58 kD cytokeratin is reported to be expressed throughout the entire<br />

epidermis including the basal layer and the 56 kD cytokeratin is reported to<br />

be absent from the basal layer and is normally eliminated during stratum<br />

corneum formation. The 56 and 65 to 67 kD cytokeratins are reported to be<br />

characteristic of epidermal cells undergoing terminal differentiation and<br />

may be considered as molecular markers for keratinization.<br />

Product Specific Information<br />

Clones AE1 and AE3 are specific for the 56.5, 50, 50', 48 and 40 kD acidic<br />

cytokeratins as well as the 65 to 67, 64, 59, 58, 56 and 52 kD basic cytokeratins.<br />

The cocktail of clones AE1 and AE3 exhibit broad reactivity with two families<br />

of cytokeratin, acidic and basic.<br />
