Public Title Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies Direct Against Mist 1 Division Lead Inventor Konieczny, Stephen Public Description Mist1 is a transcription factor expressed in the pancreas, mammary glands, and stomach. It is essential for normal cellular function and its loss has been implicated in the progression of various diseases. This transcription factor has been implicated in pancreatic cancer, which affects approximately 33,000 people per year in the United States. Researchers at Purdue have generated mouse monoclonal antibodies that recognize Mist1. These antibodies can be used to detect Mist1 protein in histological preparations as well as in protein extracts.
