Mesothelin Antibody Lung Mesothelioma IHC. Immunohistochemistry analysis of mesothelin expression in FFPE human lung mesothelioma using clone MSLN/2131. Strong membranous HRP-DAB brown staining is observed across tumor cells with accompanying cytoplasmic signal, consistent with mesothelin cell surface localization and processing. The staining pattern highlights cohesive tumor cell architecture and clearly distinguishes mesothelioma cells from surrounding stromal components, supporting its use as a tumor marker in tissue sections. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed using pH 9 Tris-EDTA buffer.
Mesothelin Antibody Endometrial Carcinoma IHC. Immunohistochemistry analysis of mesothelin expression in FFPE human endometrial carcinoma using clone MSLN/2131. Tumor epithelial cells demonstrate membranous HRP-DAB brown staining with focal cytoplasmic signal, consistent with mesothelin surface localization and processing. Staining highlights glandular tumor structures, while surrounding stromal components show minimal reactivity, supporting its role as a tumor marker in epithelial malignancies. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed using pH 9 Tris-EDTA buffer.
IHC testing of FFPE human tonsil with Mesothelin antibody (clone MSLN/2131). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
IHC testing of FFPE mouse lung with Mesothelin antibody (clone MSLN/2131). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
IHC testing of FFPE rat stomach with Mesothelin antibody (clone MSLN/2131). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
Analysis of HuProt(TM) microarray containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins using Mesothelin antibody (clone MSLN/2131). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the MSLN/2131 mAb.
Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt(TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt(TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free Mesothelin antibody (clone MSLN/2131) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
Mesothelin Antibody OVCAR-3 Cancer Cell WB. Western blot analysis of human OVCAR-3 cell lysate using Mesothelin Antibody. A prominent band is detected at approximately 40-50 kDa, consistent with the processed form of mesothelin generated from cleavage of the ~70 kDa precursor protein. Mesothelin undergoes proteolytic processing to yield a membrane-associated fragment, explaining the lower apparent molecular weight observed. This banding pattern aligns with reported mesothelin expression in ovarian cancer-derived cell lines.

Description

Mesothelin (MSLN) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein with restricted expression in normal mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium, but marked overexpression across multiple malignancies including mesothelioma, ovarian carcinoma, and endometrial carcinoma. Mesothelin Antibody is widely used as a tumor marker antibody due to this differential expression pattern, enabling detection of mesothelin-positive tumor cells and supporting analysis of tumor-associated antigen expression across diverse cancer types.

Mesothelin antibody, also referred to as MSLN antibody or mesothelioma-associated antigen antibody, produces characteristic membranous and cytoplasmic staining consistent with cell surface localization and proteolytic processing. In immunohistochemistry, strong staining is observed in mesothelioma and epithelial malignancies, where tumor cells demonstrate prominent surface labeling and cohesive distribution patterns. In contrast, most normal tissues demonstrate limited or focal staining, with expression primarily restricted to mesothelial surfaces and select epithelial structures, supporting a predominantly tumor-associated expression pattern.

As a tumor marker antibody, this clone enables evaluation of mesothelin expression across multiple cancer contexts. In lung mesothelioma, strong membranous staining highlights tumor cell populations and supports identification of mesothelial lineage. In endometrial carcinoma, tumor-associated expression further demonstrates the broader relevance of mesothelin as an epithelial tumor antigen. This cross-tumor expression profile allows comparative analysis of mesothelin-positive malignancies while maintaining clear contrast with non-expressing or low-expressing tissues.

This antibody is further supported by western blot validation in OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cell lysates, where it detects a band corresponding to processed mesothelin, confirming recognition of endogenous protein. Complementing this, protein microarray specificity validation using a HuProt(TM) platform containing over 19,000 full-length human proteins demonstrates highly selective binding to mesothelin, with a dominant Z-score signal and strong separation from secondary targets. This specificity profile indicates minimal cross-reactivity and supports high-confidence target detection across applications.

Functionally, mesothelin contributes to tumor progression through cell adhesion and interaction with MUC16 (CA125), facilitating tumor cell attachment and dissemination within serosal environments. Its restricted normal tissue distribution combined with elevated expression in malignancy underlies its importance as both a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Overall, Mesothelin Antibody provides reliable, high-confidence detection of mesothelin expression, supporting tumor characterization and analysis of mesothelin-driven cancer biology.

A biotinylated version of this Mesothelin antibody is available for enhanced detection sensitivity in immunoassays.

This Mesothelin antibody is also part of a broader Mesothelin antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the MSLN antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Immunogen

A portion of amino acids 273-407 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this Mesothelin antibody.

Storage

After reconstitution, the Mesothelin antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Alternate Names

MSLN antibody, Tumor marker antibody, Mesothelin antigen antibody, Mesothelioma marker antibody, CA125-binding protein antibody
