DOG1 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Epredia™

Descripción

DOG1 is a cell surface protein of unknown function selectively expressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Among GIST cases with KIT mutations the DOG1 antibody identified 11% more cases than c-Kit antibody¹. DOG1 identifies vast majority of both c-Kit negative and PDGFRA mutated GIST cases that may still benefit from imatinib mesylate (Gleevac), an inhibitor of the kit tyrosine kinase². In addition, DOG1 immunoreactivity is seen in fewer cases of mesanchymal, epithelial tumors and melanomas when compared with c-Kit. The use of this highly sensitive and specific novel marker will increase the accuracy of GIST diagnosis.
