MSLN (Mesothelin) is a cell surface glycoprotein encoded by the MSLN gene and is selectively expressed in mesothelial cells while being strongly upregulated in multiple cancers, including mesothelioma, ovarian carcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. MSLN Antibody is widely used for detection of gene-associated protein expression in both tissue-based and biochemical assays. MSLN Antibody / Microarray Specificity Validated Antibody provides high-confidence detection of mesothelin, supported by comprehensive proteome-wide specificity validation.
MSLN antibody, also referred to as mesothelin gene product antibody or tumor-associated antigen antibody, produces distinct membranous and cytoplasmic staining consistent with surface localization and proteolytic processing of the protein. In immunohistochemistry, tumor cells typically demonstrate strong and continuous membranous staining, while most normal tissues exhibit limited or focal expression confined to mesothelial surfaces and select epithelial compartments. This differential staining profile supports a predominantly tumor-associated expression pattern and enables clear interpretation across tissue types.
This antibody has been evaluated using a HuProt(TM) human protein microarray platform containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins, demonstrating highly selective binding to MSLN with a dominant signal and strong Z-score separation from all other targets. The substantial specificity gap indicates minimal cross-reactivity and supports reliable detection of mesothelin in complex biological systems, including heterogeneous tissues and cell lysates.
In western blot analysis, MSLN is detected as a ~70 kDa precursor protein and a ~40-50 kDa processed form generated through proteolytic cleavage. The processed form is frequently the dominant band observed in cancer cell lines, reflecting active maturation and membrane-associated function. Variation in apparent molecular weight may occur due to glycosylation or processing state, and band interpretation should account for these biologically relevant modifications.
MSLN plays a functional role in tumor biology through interaction with MUC16 (CA125), contributing to tumor cell adhesion and metastatic dissemination within serosal environments. Its restricted expression in normal tissues combined with strong upregulation in malignancy supports its use as both a biomarker and therapeutic target. Overall, MSLN Antibody provides validated, high-specificity detection of mesothelin, enabling precise analysis of gene-associated protein 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 MSLN 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 MSLN antibody.
Store the MSLN antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
