MNDA (3C1) Rat mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total MNDA protein.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a nuclear extract from human granulocytes.
Description
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometric analysis in human cells. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated MNDA (3C1) Rat mAb #3329.
Background
MNDA (myeloid cell nuclear differentiation antigen) is a transcription factor constitutively expressed in peripheral blood granulocytes and monocytes; low expression is also found in a subset of B cells (1,2). MNDA is a member of the interferon (IFN)-regulated 200 family of genes, which contain one or more copies of a partially conserved domain of 200 amino acid residues thought to mediate protein-protein interaction (3). MNDA may play a role in apoptosis and its expression is reduced in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (4). MNDA has been proposed to be a marker for nodal marginal zone lymphoma (5).
