Product Data
Clone Name B2C10
Applications ELISA, FN, IHC, WB
Recommended Dilution Western blotting.
Flow Cytometry.
Immuno Assays.
Functional Studies: Dilutions have to be made according to the amounts of Galectin-3 to be inhibited. 
Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections.
Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Embedded Sections.
Recommended Dilutions: 1/50.
Reactivities Human, Mouse
Host Mouse
Isotype IgG1
Clonality Monoclonal
Specificity The monoclonal antibody B2C10 reacts with Galectin-3, a 30 kDa protein.
The monoclonal antibody B2C10 inhibits the binding of 125I-labeled galectin-3 to IgE coated on microtiter plates, the Galecin-3’s hemagglutination activity and Galectin-3-induced superoxide production by Human neutrophils. This inhibitory activity of B2C10 is probably the result of its disruption of the self-association process.
The epitope of the monoclonal antibody B2C10 is found within the first 45 amino acids of Galectin-3. The antibody B2C10 does not react with Galecin-3C and is cross reactive with Mouse Galectin-3.

Background

Galectin-3 is a member of the galectin family. The protein is composed of three domains: a small amino-terminal domain, a carboxyl-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) and amino-terminal domain containing repeating elements. Galectin-3 is normally distributed in epithelia of many organs and various inflammatory cells, including macrophages, as well as dendritic cells and Kupffer cells. The expression of this lectin is up-regulated during inflammation, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and through trans-activation by viral proteins. The expression is also affected by neoplastic transformation: up-regulated in certain types of lymphomas and thyroid carcinoma, while down-regulated in other types of malignancies, such as colon, breast, ovarian and uterine carcinomas.
Galectin-3 has been shown to function through both intracellular and extracellular actions. Related to its intracellular functions, galectin-3 has been identified as a component of heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein (hnRNP), a factor in pre-mRNA splicing, and has been found to control cell cycle and prevent T cell apoptosis. On the other hand, this protein has also been demonstrated to function as extracellular molecule in activating various types of cells, including monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes. Galectin-3 has been shown to mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions.
