Secretory Component/ECM1 [SC05]

This antibody is useful for studying the distribution and level of both free and bound Secretory
Component. Secretory Component is differentially expressed in epithelium, and the antibody is a popular marker for identifying subpopulations of epithelial cells and epithelial differentiation. The Secretory Component antibody is a useful research tool for studying mucosal immunity, inflammation, remodeling, differentiation and tumorigenesis, all processes associated with differential Secretory Component expression. This antibody reacts with a reduction-resistant epitope present in both free and SIgA bound Secretory Component. It does not react with the cell lines lacking Secretory Component.
