Pneumocystis carinii/P. jiroveci [3F6]
Description Pneumocystis is a genus of fungi which can be pathogenic in mammals. Pneumocystis carinii, also referred to as Pneumocystis jiroveci, is a microscopic fungus that exists in the lungs of many humans. This fungus is normally benign, but it can cause Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised individuals. During PCP, Pneumocystis carinii deteriorates the basement membrane of the lung, causing a rise in LDH levels and compromising gas exchange. Oxygen is less able to diffuse into the blood, leading to hypoxia, which, along with high arterial CO2 levels, stimulates ventilation, thereby causing dyspnea. The fungus can also invade other visceral organs, such as the liver, spleen and kidney. Symptoms of Pneumocystis carinii infection include shortness of breath, non-productive cough, low grade fever, weight loss and night sweats. This disease can be fatal if not treated aggressively. This antibody reacts with a 82 kDa polypeptide specific to P. carinii. It does not cross-react Host Mouse Application Immunocytochemistry (ICC),Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Reactivity Pneumocystis jiroveci infected tissues -

PolyQ/Polyglutamine-Expansion Diseases Marker [5TF1-1C2]
Description Polyglutamine tract are portions of a protein consisting of a sequence of several glutamine unit. Several inheritable neurodegenerative disorders, so-called polyglutamine diseases, occur if a mutation causes a polyglutamine tract in a specific gene to become too long. Important examples of polyglutamine diseases include Huntington's disease, dentatorubralpallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) and types of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). In these diseases, the pathogenic alleles usually contain 39 or more consecutive glutamine repeats. Higher repeat numbers lead to lower ages of onset. Patients with 40-60 glutamine repeats normally develop disease as adults, whereas patients with more than 60 repeats develop a juvenile onset disease. Each polyglutamine expansion disorder displays characteristic pathology, with neuronal loss evident in specific regions of the brain. It is believed that cells cannot properly dispose of proteins with overlong polyglutamine tracts Host Mouse Application ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB) Reactivity Human -
PR [SP2]
Description The human progesterone receptor (PR), is a ligand-activated transcription factor and is a member of the steroid receptor family. PR exists in humans as two isoforms. PR is predominantly expressed in female sex steroid responsive tissues such as the mammary gland, uterus and ovary, but is also found in other tissues such as prostate stromal cells, anterior pituitary gland, and endocrine cells of the Langerhans' islets.

Prostein [A5]
Description PSA, prostate specific antigen, is the classic indicator for transformed pro-state tissue; however, in addition to being upregulated in prostate cancer, PSA is also upregulated in non-malignant conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostein, also designated Prostate cancer-associated protein 6, is a prostate-specific, 553 amino acid transmembrane protein that is upregulated by androgens. It is considered a marker for prostate cells since it is expressed in all prostatic glandular cells as well as in normal and cancerous prostate tissues. Since it is able to elicit a tumor-directed cytotoxic T cell response, Prostein may be used as a target for the development of PSA- and T cell-based therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer.

PSAP (Prostatic or Prostate Specific Acid Phosphatase) [PASE/4LJ]
Description Prostate Specific Acid Phosphatase (PSAP) is a 100 kD glycoprotein present in high concentration in the prostate gland and its secretions. PSAP is measured clinically because its level often rises in the serum in cases of prostatic carcinoma. By immunohistochemical analysis PSAP has been found concentrated within the large secretory vacuoles of the supranuclear portion of the prostatic columnar epithelial cell. In hyperplastic prostates and in benign prostatic tissue adjacent to the prostatic carcinoma, PSAP activity is limited to the acinar or ductal columnar epithelial cells and adjacent luminal content. PSAP reactivity in an extraprostatic tumor is an accurate and sensitive indicator of metastatic prostatic carcinoma.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)/Proximal Nephrogenic Antigen [66.4.C2]
Description Anti-renal cell carcinoma (RCC) recognizes a 200 kD glycoprotein localized in the brush border of the proximal renal tubule. This antibody immunoreacts with approximately 90% of primary renal cell carcinomas and approximately 85% of metastatic renal cell carcinomas. Therefore, anti-RCC is a reliable tool for differentiating primary or metastatic renal cell carcinoma from non-renal tumors. It may be utilized as a marker for the differential diagnosis of eosinophilic renal tumors-granular variant of renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, and oncocytoma. Other tumors that may react with this antibody are parathyroid adenoma and an occasional breast carcinoma. Nephroblastoma, oncocytoma, mesoblastic nephroma, transitional cell carcinoma, and angiomyolipoma are not labeled with this antibody.
