Ensure efficient Claudin 18 detection with this ready-to-use IHC kit, providing a complete reagent set for a streamlined staining process.
Description
Claudin 18 (CLDN18) is part of the large claudin family of transmembrane proteins, which form tight junctions. CLDN18 is specifically expressed in the stomach and lungs. Abnormal CLDN18 expression is linked to gastric cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, and pancreatic tumors. CLDN18 has two spliced variants, CLDN18.1 (lung-specific) and CLDN18.2 (gastric-specific), the latter being a marker for gastric carcinoma.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
