In frozen sections, it stains hepatic cells and may be used as a marker of the liver. Cell preparations of hepatocellular carcinoma biopsies or cell lines are found to bind HSA98 on the cell surface. This mAb stains liver hepatocytes in frozen human liver sections and is positive on the cell surface of human liver carcinomas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere multiple assay formats are possible, align the antibody format, host\/isotype, and listed applications with your detection system and controls to support clear interpretation of signal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBiological background\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this catalog, HEPATOCYTE is positioned within \u003cstrong\u003eMolecular \u0026amp; Cellular Biology\u003c\/strong\u003e research contexts.
