Entrez Gene Summary
A human melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan plays a role in stabilizing cell-substratum interactions during early events of melanoma cell spreading on endothelial basement membranes. CSPG4 represents an integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expressed by human malignant melanoma cells.
Description:
Anti-NG2 Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan
Background Information:
NG2 is a high molecular weight, integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. It is found on the surfaces of an unusual class of glial cells within the developing and mature central nervous system that have the properties of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (i.e., O-2A progenitor cells). NG2 is also found on the surfaces of chondroblasts, proliferating capillary endothelial cells, some human melanoma cell lines, and on leukemic blasts in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The NG2 proteoglycan is likely to play a role in regulation of cell motility, axon outgrowth and the cellular responses to platelet-derived growth factor.
Alternate Names:
- Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan NG2
- Melanoma chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 3
- Melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan
- chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4
- chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (melanoma-associated)
Specificity:
NG2 Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan. AB5320 identifies both the intact proteoglycan and the core protein by Western blot and ELISA. When oligodendrocyte precursor cells (i.e. O-2A progenitor cells) are stained alive, the stain appears as clusters on the cell surface. This antibody does not stain differentiated oligodendrocytes well.
Key Applications:
- ELISA
- Immunocytochemistry
- Immunohistochemistry
- Immunoprecipitation
- Western Blotting
Application Notes:
Immunocytochemistry:
A 1:150-1:600 dilution of a previous lot was used in IC.
Immunohistochemistry:
1:200 dilution of a previous lot was used on frozen sections of embryonic mouse brain using an Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibody. Care should be taken to avoid overfixing tissue sections. A short (5-10 minute) fix in 2-4% PFA is recommended.
Immunoprecipitation:
2 μg/mL concentration of a previous lot was used in IP.
ELISA:
A 1:1,500-1:3,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in ELISA.
Optimal working dilutions and protocols must be determined by end user
