TMPRSS2 is a type II transmembrane serine protease that has emerged as a critical focus in infectious disease and oncology research. This enzyme plays a pivotal role in activating viral spike proteins, facilitating cellular entry of several respiratory pathogens, while also being implicated in prostate cancer progression through androgen-regulated expression pathways. Understanding TMPRSS2 biology has become essential for researchers investigating host-pathogen interactions and developing therapeutic interventions.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5H2, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in controlled recombinant systems, researchers can expect reliable performance across experiments and between lot numbers, eliminating the variability concerns often associated with traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies.
Validation studies demonstrate robust detection capabilities across multiple experimental platforms. In western blot applications, the antibody successfully identifies TMPRSS2 at the expected 54 kDa molecular weight in diverse sample types, including human PC-3 prostate cancer cells, HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells, mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts, and rat colorectal tissue lysates. This cross-species reactivity spanning human, mouse, and rat samples provides flexibility for researchers working with various model systems. Recommended dilutions range from 1:500 to 1:2000 for western blotting applications. For immunohistochemistry, the antibody has been validated in paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, with effective staining observed at 1:100 dilution.
Whether investigating viral entry mechanisms, characterizing TMPRSS2 expression in cancer models, or exploring protease biology in normal tissues, this antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your research objectives.
