This antibody specifically recognizes human junctional adhesion molecule A and does not cross-react with other members of the JAM family. JAM-A is an adherens and tight junction protein expressed by endothelial and epithelial cells. It is recently identif

This antibody was used for the characterization of human junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A) and study of its expression on various cancerous tissues. The binding specificity of this antibody for human JAM-A expressed on CHO cells was confirmed using flow cytometry. JAM-A expression level on cell surface was determined by immunofluorescence staining and visualized by confocal microscopy. This antibody can also be used in the determination of JAM-A protein using western blot. Immunohistochemical analysis using this antibody revealed that JAM-A is overexpressed on breast, lung and kidney tumor tissues. Injections of anti-JAM-A antibody resulted in a significant tumor growth inhibition of xenograft human tumors in vivo. Treatment with monoclonal antibody induced a decrease of the Ki67 expression and downregulated JAM-A levels. This antigen may play a role in interfering with tumor proliferation (PMID: 22886345). This antibody binds the extracellular domain of JAM-A in an ELISA (Goetsch et al, 2011).
