Mesothelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein with restricted expression in normal mesothelial cells lining serosal surfaces, but marked overexpression across multiple malignancies including mesothelioma, ovarian carcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Mesothelin Antibody is widely used to evaluate tumor-associated mesothelin expression in both tissue and cell-based assays. Mesothelin Antibody / Microarray Specificity Validated Antibody enables high-confidence detection of mesothelin, supported by proteome-scale validation of target selectivity.
Mesothelin antibody, also referred to as mesothelioma-associated antigen antibody or tumor-associated mesothelin antibody, produces characteristic membranous and cytoplasmic staining consistent with cell surface localization and proteolytic processing. In immunohistochemistry, strong and often diffuse staining is observed in mesothelioma and epithelial malignancies, where tumor cells demonstrate prominent surface labeling and cohesive distribution. 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.
This antibody has been validated using a human protein microarray platform containing over 19,000 full-length human proteins, demonstrating highly selective binding to mesothelin with a dominant signal and clear separation from secondary targets. The strong Z-score enrichment and minimal off-target interaction profile provide robust evidence of specificity, supporting accurate interpretation of both immunohistochemical staining and western blot banding patterns in complex biological samples.
In western blot applications, mesothelin is detected as both a ~70 kDa precursor protein and a ~40-50 kDa processed form generated through proteolytic cleavage. In many tumor-derived cell lines, the processed form is the predominant species observed, reflecting active protein maturation and membrane association. Occasional higher molecular weight bands may represent incompletely processed or glycosylated forms, and should be interpreted within the context of mesothelinâs known post-translational processing.
Functionally, mesothelin contributes to tumor progression through interaction with MUC16 (CA125), promoting tumor cell adhesion and dissemination within serosal environments. Its restricted normal tissue distribution combined with elevated tumor expression underpins its importance as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Overall, Mesothelin Antibody provides highly specific and validated detection of mesothelin, supporting confident analysis of tumor-associated expression across immunohistochemistry and western blot applications.
This Mesothelin antibody is part of a broader Mesothelin antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the Mesothelin Antibody / Microarray Specificity Validated Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 273-407 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Mesothelin antibody.
Store the Mesothelin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
