Monoclonal antibody against human HGAL antigen
Stanford researchers have developed a monoclonal antibody for diagnosis, prognosis, classification, and research of B-cell derived lymphomas. This is a mouse antibody directed against the human HGAL antigen (human germinal center-associate lymphoma, a cytoplasmic protein expressed in germinal center B cells). The HGAL protein is expressed in certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and is associated with a better prognosis.
Applications
- Diagnostic - identification and classification of B-cell derived lymphoma subtypes
- Prognostic marker for diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma
- Research - the antibody can be used for western and immunoprecipitation and utilized for studies of HGAL function
Advantages
- Specific - an excellent marker for differentiation of FL from other low grade lymphomas
