human ... MAGED4B(81557)

General description

Melanoma antigen family D4B (MAGED4B) is referred to as MAGE1, MAGEE1 and MAGE-E1. It is a novel member of MAGE family. It is highly expressed in glioma cells.

Immunogen

melanoma antigen family D4B

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Melanoma antigen family D4B (MAGED4B) activity is partly regulated by DNA methylation. It can develop specifically humoral response in glioma patients. It may act as an promising biomarker for glioma diagnosis and immunotherapy. The protein expression is positively correlated with the glioma type and grade. This gene plays some roles in tumor cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Though Melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family genes have received lots of attention as cancer-related genes and targets for immunotherapy, MAGE-D4 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been evaluated. MAGE-D4 mRNA expression was assayed in nine HCC cell lines and

Melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family genes have been considered as potentially promising targets for anticancer immunotherapy. MAGED4 was originally identified as a glioma-specific antigen. Current knowledge about MAGED4 expression in glioma is only based on mRNA analysis and MAGED4 protein expression

MAGE-D4 is a novel member of MAGE super-family. It has preliminarily been demonstrated that MAGE-D4 mRNA is not expressed in majority of normal tissues except for brain and ovary in which only trace amount of MAGE-D4 mRNA can be detected
