Fighting Cancer, One Slide at a Time

Product Overview

Clone: MTC02

The Mitochondria antibody, Clone MTC02, is a mouse monoclonal antibody that targets a mitochondrial protein widely expressed in human cells, making it an effective marker for identifying mitochondrial-rich tissues and tumors. Provided as a concentrate, this antibody is optimized for immunohistochemical staining on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens. Clone MTC02 produces strong, granular cytoplasmic staining that highlights the abundant mitochondria within cells, aiding in the detection and characterization of tumors such as granular cell renal cell carcinomas and other neoplasms with high mitochondrial content. It is also useful for confirming human cell origin in xenograft studies. This antibody is a valuable tool in both diagnostic pathology and research applications focused on tumor identification and cellular characterization.
