Anti-Osteopontin antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody that is used in SPP1 in IHC. Suitable for human samples. It recognizes the full-length osteopontin protein (66 kDa) and C-terminal fragments of both thrombin and MMP-cleaved OPN (32 kDa). It does not recognise the N-terminal fragment (40 kDa).

Major non-collagenous bone protein that binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction. Acts as a cytokine involved in enhancing production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 and reducing production of interleukin-10 and is essential in the pathway that leads to type I immunity.

Osteopontin is directed against human osteopontin. The antibody recognizes the full-length osteopontin protein (which runs at 66 kDa on westerns), as well as the C-terminal fragments of both thrombin and MMP-cleaved OPN. The 32 kDa MMP-cleaved C-fragment is recognized, but not the 40 kDa N-terminal fragment. Reactivity is reported to occur with osteopontin from swine, dog, mouse and rat.

Human Breast tumour section. Osteopontin is a normal component of elastic fibers in the breast (shown heavily stained in this section). There is also weak staining of the extracellular matrix. Osteopontin is not believed to be expressed inside breast tumour cells, and there is no staining in the intracellular region of the breast cells in this section.
Osteopontin antibody (ab8448) used at 1:100-1:300. No antigen retrieval is required.
OPN is cleaved by MMP to yield 2 fragments, which migrate at 40kD(N terminal) and 32kD (C terminal). The C terminal fragment can undergo further cleavage by both of these MMPs (see Agnihotri et al, JBC 2001 for further details). The epitope recognised by ab8448 is shown in violet. This antibody detects the full length OPN and the 32kD fragment. It does not recognise the 40kD fragment.

(a, b) No obvious staining for OPN was observed in the control lung. (original magnification: ×200/400). (c, d) In explanted lungs from IPF patients, the expression of OPN was found in alveolar epithelial cells lining honeycomb space and alveolar macrophages accumulating in alveolar space adjacent to fibrotic lesions (original magnification: ×200/400).
