Labels MUM1 protein in a subset of light zone germinal centre (GC) B cells (probably centrocytes and their progeny), plasma cells and activated T cells. Antibodies to MUM1 protein are a useful aid for classification of a wide spectrum of hematolymphoid neoplasms derived from these cells. Of non-hematolymphoid neoplasms only a proportion of melanomas are labeled (1, 2). Antibodies to MUM1 protein are a useful aid for subclassification of B-cell lymphomas (1-3).

Specificity
Western blotting of pHeBo-CMV-MUM1-HA-transfected HeLa cell lysate, the antibody labels a band of 52 kDa corresponding to MUM1-HA protein, whereas no labeling is observed in non-transfected HeLa cell lysate. In Western blotting of lysates of IM9 (myeloma cell line), unfractionated tonsil cell suspensions, and PHA-stimulated T cells, the antibody labels a band of 50 kDa corresponding to MUM1 protein. No labeling is observed with lysates of U937 cells (myeloid cell line), and unstimulated T cells (1). SDS-PAGE analysis of immunoprecipitates formed between lysate of the IM9 myeloma cell line and the antibody shows reaction with a 50 kDa protein corresponding to MUM1 protein (1). See package insert for reference(s).
