Mouse anti Human inhibin alpha antibody, clone R1 (MCA951S) used to demonstrate inhibin expression in an endometrioid adenocarcinoma by immunohistochemistry.
Image caption:
Immunohistochemically, the carcinoma cells are clearly positive for CK7 (a), ER (b), while many stromal cells show positive reaction for inhibin-α (c) (Case 3). Expression of steroid factor-1 (SF-1), which is a transcription factor alternatively termed adrenal 4-binding protein (Ad4BP) to regulate expression of all steroidogenic enzymes [9], is predominant in the stromal cells but minimal in epithelial cells (Case 1).

| Mouse anti Human inhibin alpha antibody, clone R1 recognizes the alpha subunit of the 32 kDa human inhibin. A glycoprotein which acts to suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion (Groome et al, 1990). Inhibin alpha is expressed in a range of tissues including the endometrium (Mylonas et al, 2004), brain (Uccella et al, 2000), adrenal gland (McCluggage et al, 1998), testis (Bergh and Cajander, 1990) and ovary (Cuevas et al, 1987, In western blotting of bovine follicular fluid, bands at 20, 44 and 57 kDa were reported under reducing conditions using clone R1 (Groome et al, 1991). |
