Overview
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by normal prostate cells. This enzyme participates in the dissolution of the seminal fluid coagulum and plays an important role in fertility. The highest amounts of PSA are found in the seminal fluid; some PSA escapes the prostate and can be found in the serum. This serum component has been used to track the response to therapy in men with prostate cancer.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody A67-B/E3 reacts with prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by normal prostate cells. The highest amounts of PSA are found in the seminal fluid. This antibody recognizes both free and complexed PSA.
