Signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPA), also known as CD172a or SHPS-1, serves as a critical immunoregulatory receptor that mediates the "don't eat me" signal through its interaction with CD47. This inhibitory pathway plays a fundamental role in macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and has emerged as a significant target in immuno-oncology research, where disrupting the SIRPA-CD47 axis can enhance tumor cell clearance. Beyond cancer immunology, SIRPA participates in neuronal signaling, cardiovascular regulation, and broader signal transduction pathways, making it a protein of interest across multiple research disciplines.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 3C3, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human SIRPA and produced in rabbit host, the recombinant format ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. Affinity chromatography purification delivers a reagent ready for sensitive detection applications.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance across complementary techniques. Immunohistochemistry testing in paraffin-embedded human tissues, including normal stomach and rectal cancer specimens, confirms robust detection in FFPE workflows using standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval at dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200. Flow cytometry analysis using U937 cells, a human monocytic cell line, shows clear positive staining compared to isotype controls, supporting surface expression studies at similar dilution ranges.
Whether investigating macrophage biology, exploring checkpoint pathways in tumor microenvironments, or characterizing SIRPA expression patterns in cardiovascular or neurological contexts, this antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your research objectives.
