Special offer of the mAb IST-9 specific for ED-A of fibronectin

June 1, 2011

 1 milligram for 550 EURO !! IST-9 mAb reacts both with sections from  frozen and paraformaldehyde fixed tissues. IST-9 reacts with the C’-C’ loop of  ED-A preventing ED-A binding with integrins alpha5-beta1, alpha4-beta1 and alpha9-beta1. IST-9 inhibits fibroblasts differentiation into myo-fibroblasts and TGF-beta activation, thus inhibiting fibrosis (see under the Antibodies section). More recently it has […]

SIRIUS-BIOTECH ACQUIRED A NOVEL ANTIBODY SPECIFIC FOR NEO-FORMING BLOOD VESSELS

April 12, 2010

Sirius-biotech has acquired from the National Cancer Institute of  Genoa the patent for the mAb C6. The mAb C6 recognizes a novel fibronectin epitope unmasked by the insertion of the extra-domain B. This antibody, specifically reacting with neoforming blood vessels, represents a new tool for the targeting of tissues undergoing neoangiogenesis and for the study of novel fibronectin […]
