CloneID: KM3900
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated from BXSB mice immunized with pancreatic cancer cells.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2a format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
Uniprot Accession No.: O14493
Specificity Statement: The antibody specifically recognizes the conformational structure and binds to extracellular loop 2 of CLDN4. The antibody does not react with denatured CLDN4 protein. The antibody does not cross react with CLDN3, 5, 6, and 9. Claudin-4 is a tetraspanin transmembrane protein of tight junction structure and is highly expressed in pancreatic and ovarian cancers.
Application Notes (Clone): Cell lysates were prepared from pancreatic cancer cells (Capan-2 and HPAF-II) and CLDN/CHO cells, and subjected to immunoprecipitation analysis. The antibody was shown to specifically precipitate CLDN4. This antibody detected CLDN4 expressed on CHO cells by flow cytometry. Furthermore, binding of the antibody was detected on CLDN4-expressing pancreatic and ovarian cancer cells, but not on negative cells. Moreover, the chimeric IgG1 (KM3934) version of the antibody was made and its antitumor efficacy was evaluated. KM3934 induced dose-dependent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity in vitro, and significantly inhibited tumor growth in MCAS or CFPAC-1 xenograft SCID mice in vivo (Suzuki et al., 2009; PMID:19555390). The antibody strongly bound to the CLDN4 expressed in breast cancer cells, colorectal cancer cells and prostate cancer cells. The antibody inhibited the cell movement ability of CLDN4 expression cells. The antibody showed neutralizing activity for CLDN4 (US8076458).
