Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is a serine/threonine kinase that has emerged as a critical marker in stem cell biology and cancer research. Originally characterized for its role in neuronal migration and brain development, DCLK1 has gained significant attention as a marker of tumor-initiating cells in gastrointestinal cancers, making it a compelling target for researchers investigating cancer stem cell populations, epithelial homeostasis, and therapeutic resistance mechanisms.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone 8B3, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding research applications require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human DCLK1, the antibody benefits from recombinant production technology, ensuring sequence-defined specificity and eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. Affinity chromatography purification further enhances signal clarity by removing non-specific immunoglobulins.
Validation across multiple detection platforms demonstrates this antibody's experimental versatility. Immunohistochemistry studies in paraffin-embedded human small intestine tissue confirm reliable detection in formalin-fixed samples, which is particularly relevant given DCLK1's established role in intestinal stem cell biology. Immunofluorescence analysis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells reveals clear cytoplasmic localization patterns, while flow cytometry validation using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells demonstrates robust signal separation from isotype controls, enabling quantitative assessment of DCLK1-positive populations.
The unconjugated format provides flexibility for researchers to pair this antibody with their preferred detection systems across immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and ELISA workflows. Whether investigating DCLK1's function in neural development, characterizing tumor stem cell populations, or exploring its kinase activity in cellular signaling, this antibody delivers the performance consistency essential for meaningful experimental outcomes.
