OncoIHC™ Galectin-3 Ready-To-Use IHC Kit

This complete IHC kit for Galectin-3 offers a direct approach to staining, equipping users with reagents from antigen retrieval to slide mounting.

Galectins form a family of lectins with a common affinity for β-galactose-containing oligosaccharides. Galectin-3, a member of this family, contains a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) and a proline- and glycine-rich N-terminal domain, enabling it to form oligomers. It plays essential roles in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, immune response, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Galectin-3 is expressed in normal tissues and tumors and is found both intracellularly and secreted extracellularly.

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.

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.
