Staining of BRST-2 (GCDFP-15, clone D6) on formalin fixed paraffin embedded human breast tumor tissue. -
-
The BRST-2 antigen is expressed by apocrine sweat glands, eccrine glands (variable), minor salivary glands, bronchial glands, metaplasmic epithelium of the breast, benign sweat gland tumors of the skin and the serous cells of the submandibular gland. Breast carcinomas (primary and metastatic lesions) with apocrine features express the BRST-2 antigen.
This antibody is effective in immunohistochemistry (IHC).
The BRST-2 clone D6 recognizes a 15 kD glycoprotein known as Gross Cystic Disease Fluid Protein-15 (GCDFP-15).

Intended Use:
In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD). Use in immunohistochemistry (IHC) test methods only.
The monoclonal antibody D6 is used for the in vitro examination of paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human breast carcinoma samples using immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods for the qualitative identification of GCDFP-15. The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies and proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
- Reactivity
- Human
- Immunogen
- This antibody was generated against a gross cystic disease fluid protein 15.
- Formulation
- Phosphate-buffered solution with BSA + 0.1% NaN3.
- Preparation
- The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
- Storage & Handling
- Store between 2°C and 8°C.
- Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue sections.
The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition.
• IHC: ≥1:40 (concentrated format) with Biotin based detection systems such as USA Ultra Streptavidin Detection (Cat. No. 929501).
Positive tissue (human): Axilla or breast carcinoma
Tissue Sections: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues
Pretreatment: Not required. The BRST-2 epitope is heat-sensitive; paraffin sections that have been heat fixed at 60°C may lose antibody binding sites.
Incubation: 20-60 minutes at room temperature - Application References
