Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins produced by epithelial cells and can be divided into two families; secretory mucins and membrane bound mucins. MUC5AC is a mucus-forming secreted mucin that is found in normal gastric and tracheo-bronchial mucosa, but absent from normal colon.

Titering of the MUC5AC antibody may be required for optimal performance.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Human recombinant protein was used as the immunogen for the MUC5AC antibody.

Store the MUC5AC antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
