Example of cross-reactivity: According to the Claudin-18.2 immunohistochemical cross-reactivity experiment, there is no cross-reactive staining result between Claudin-18.2 and Claudin-18.1.
> Use Claudin-18.2 primary antibody (Cat. No.
HCS-S278) to stain normal gastric tissue, strong positive staining of gastric gland cell cytoplasm and/or cell membrane, negative staining of other tissue cells.

* The human gene Claudin-18 has two protein isoforms, Claudin-18.1 and Claudin-18.2, which differ within the N-terminal 69 amino acids. Claudin-18.1 expression is restricted to the lungs, whereas Claudin-18.2 expression is restricted to the stomach.
Staining example of human tumor tissue samples: use Claudin-18.2 primary antibody (Cat. No.
HCS-S278) to stain gastric cancer, colorectal cancer,pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer tissue samples respectively

Performance comparison
Titer: ACRO at 1/1000 dilution and Competitor A at 1/200 dilution, color intensity is similar
Claudin18.2 (ACRO)
1:1000-40X

Claudin18.2 (Competitor A)
1:200-40X

Claudin18.2 (Competitor A)
1:500-40X

> Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human stomach tissue labeling Claudin-18.2 with ACRO/Competitor A. Membranous staining on human gastric epithelial cells is observed. Counter stained with Hematoxylin. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
Sensitivity: ACRO staining intensity is stronger than Competitor A
