Knockout Validated
NG2/MCSP is specifically detected in HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line but is not detectable in NG2/MCSP knockout HeLa cell line.
 

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Scientific Data

Western Blot Detection of Human NG2/MCSP antibody by Western Blot. View Larger

Detection of Human NG2/MCSP by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of A375 human melanoma cell line and SK-Mel-28 human malignant melanoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human NG2/MCSP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2585) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for NG2/MCSP at approximately 300 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Western Blot Shows Human NG2/MCSP Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line. Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and NG2/MCSP knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human NG2/MCSP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2585) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for NG2/MCSP at approximately 300 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: NG2/MCSP

NG2 (neuron/glia-type 2 antigen; also MCSP/melanoma chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan) is a 250‑500 kDa type I integral membrane proteoglycan found on synantocytes (NG2+ glia), vascular pericytes, chondroblasts, macrophages and melanoma cells. It binds multiple components of the ECM, and serves as a ligand for alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 4 beta 1 integrins. Mature human NG2 is 2293 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a large 2195 aa extracellular region (aa 30‑2224) and a short 79 aa cytoplasmic tail. NG2 is variably glycanated. Without proteoglycan, NG2 is expressed as a 250 kDa glycoprotein. Juxtamembrane proteolysis generates a soluble ECD that noncovalently associates with the transmembrane fragment. Over aa 1583‑2224, human NG2 is 81% aa identical to both mouse and canine NG2.
