General description

Monoclonal anti-chondroitin sulfate antibody, (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the hybridoma CS56 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with Ventral membranes of chicken gizzard fibroblasts. This antibody recognizes chondroitin sulfate containing proteoglycans (CSPG) in bovine mammary gland epithelial (BMGE) cells and also in human, chicken and mouse fibroblasts or tissues.
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) or nerve/glial antigen 2 (NG2) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 15q24.2-15q24.3. It is a growth-inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) produced after spinal cord injury. It has a single glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain. The protein belongs to the transmembrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans family.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) or nerve/glial antigen 2 (NG2) stimulates the activation of integrins in dorsal root ganglion neurons. It also has a role in stimulating inflammatory cytokine expression in microglia. CSPG4 plays a vital role in brain repair. Overexpression of the gene leads to developmental delay in patients with trisomy of 15q24-qter. CSPG4 serves as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in malignant cancer.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

for continuous use, store at 2–8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Other Notes

In order to obtain best results in different techniques and preparations we recommend determining optimal working concentration by titration test.
