Format: Purified antibody in Tris buffer, pH 7.3-7.7, 1% BSA, <0.1% sodium azide.
BACKGROUND
MutS Homolog 2 (MSH2) is a protein involved in the mismatch-repair pathway. This protein is commonly associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, and mutations in this gene are correlated with the development of sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Expression levels of MSH2 are abnormally low in a high percentage of patients with microsatellite instability as well as endometrial and ovarian cancers. Anti-MSH2 antibody may be useful in the detection of the protein in a number of normal and neoplastic tissues and for identifying a loss of MSH2 in tumors that are microsatellite-unstable.
