Immunohistochemistry analysis of PAX8 antibody in human thyroid tissue. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human thyroid sections were stained with Paired box protein Pax-8 antibody (clone PAX8/6848R). Strong HRP-DAB brown nuclear staining is observed in thyroid follicular epithelial cells lining the follicles, consistent with nuclear localization of PAX8 as a transcription factor. The staining is confined to nuclei, with clear sparing of the colloid and minimal background in surrounding stromal tissue. The follicular architecture is preserved, and negative cells retain blue hematoxylin counterstain without brown signal. Inset: PBS was used in place of the primary antibody as a negative control. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed by boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 20 minutes followed by cooling prior to antibody incubation.

Description

Paired box protein Pax-8 antibody recognizes PAX8, a nuclear transcription factor encoded by the PAX8 gene and a member of the paired box family of developmental regulators. Paired box protein Pax-8 plays an essential role in organogenesis of the thyroid gland, kidney, and Mullerian system. Because of its lineage-restricted expression pattern, PAX8 antibody is widely used in research involving thyroid, renal, and gynecologic tissues as well as associated carcinomas.

PAX8 contains a conserved paired DNA-binding domain that enables sequence-specific transcriptional regulation of genes critical for cellular differentiation. In the thyroid gland, Pax-8 regulates genes involved in thyroid hormone biosynthesis, including thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase, supporting follicular cell development and function. In the kidney, it contributes to renal epithelial differentiation, while in the female reproductive tract it participates in Mullerian duct development. Detection of Paired box protein Pax-8 therefore reflects epithelial lineage identity in these tissues.

PAX8 is localized to the nucleus, consistent with its role as a transcription factor. Expression is maintained in differentiated thyroid follicular cells, renal tubular epithelial cells, and epithelial cells of the fallopian tube and endometrium. In pathologic contexts, PAX8 expression is frequently retained in thyroid carcinomas, renal cell carcinomas, and Mullerian-derived tumors, including ovarian and endometrial carcinomas. This restricted expression profile makes PAX8 antibody valuable in studies of tumor origin and epithelial differentiation.

The PAX8 gene is located on chromosome 2q14 and encodes multiple isoforms through alternative splicing. Gene rearrangements and altered expression of PAX8 have been implicated in thyroid neoplasia and other malignancies. Paired box protein Pax-8 antibody clone PAX8/6848R is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody developed to detect PAX8 in research applications, supporting consistent nuclear recognition of Pax-8 in tissues relevant to developmental biology and tumor classification.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the Paired box protein Pax-8 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Immunogen

A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 150-300) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Paired box protein Pax-8 antibody.

Storage

Aliquot the Paired box protein Pax-8 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
