This antibody reacts specifically with prostate mucin antigen. It does not react with fetal or benign prostate specimens, non-prostate carcinomas and normal human tissues.
Prostate tumors, primarily arising as prostate cancer, are one of the most common malignancies in men. Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, which is responsible for producing seminal fluid. The onset of prostate cancer is often asymptomatic in its early stages, but as the disease progresses, symptoms such as difficulty in urination, pelvic pain, and blood in urine or semen may appear. Prostate cancer is typically a slow-growing tumor; however, some forms can be aggressive and metastasize to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. The development of prostate cancer is influenced by genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, with age being a significant risk factor. Diagnosis is commonly achieved through digital rectal exams (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, and biopsy. Treatment options vary depending on the stage and aggressiveness of the tumor, ranging from active surveillance for low-risk cases to surgery, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, and chemotherapy for more advanced stages.
