We now offer the new MSVA-741R recombinant rabbit monoclonal MTAP antibody from MS Validated Antibodies — the most extensively characterized antibody for MTAP detection in cancer research.
Why Choose MSVA-741R?
- Extensive Validation on Normal Tissue: MSVA-741R has been validated on 76 different normal tissue types, following the stringent guidelines set by the International Working Group of Antibody Validation (IWGAV).
- Large-Scale Tumor Testing: In addition to normal tissue validation, this antibody was used to assess MTAP expression in 13,067 tumors across 149 distinct categories, providing crucial data on MTAP deficiency in a wide variety of cancers. [Gorbokon et al. Am J Surg Pathol. 2024.]
- Reliable Performance: MSVA-741R consistently delivers robust and reproducible results, establishing it as a reliable tool for immunohistochemistry (IHC).
- Key Research Applications: MTAP expression loss, which is usually caused by homozygous 9p21.3 deletion, plays a significant role in the development of many cancers. Detecting this is especially valuable for malignant mesothelioma, urothelial cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma and more.
- Open Access to Data: Extensive validation images and data are available in the Normal Tissue Gallery & Cancer Tissue Gallery on the MS Validated Antibodies website.
