| Clonality | Monoclonal |
| Immunoglobulin isotype | kappa, IgG1 |
| Clone | SPM585 |
| Host organism | Mouse (Mus musculus) |
| Species reactivity | Does not react with Mouse (Mus musculus) and Rat (Rattus norvegicus), Due to limited knowledge and inability for testing each and every species, Monkey, the reactivity of the antibody may extend to other species which are not listed hereby, Human (Homo sapiens) |
| Specificity and cross-reactivity | Co-expression of chromogranin A and neuron specific enolase (NSE) is common in neuroendocrine neoplasms, It is an excellent marker for carcinoid tumors, Most pituitary adenomas and prolactinomas readily express chromogranin, Reportedly, Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited, The co-expression of chromogranin and NSE is typical of neuroendocrine neoplasms, The presence of strong anti-chromogranin staining and absence of anti-keratin staining should raise the possibility of paraganglioma, This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones, adrenal medulla and pancreatic islets, and other neuroendocrine tumors, co-expression of certain keratins and chromogranin indicates neuroendocrine lineage, including the neuroendocrine cells of the large and small intestine, paragangliomas, pheochromocytomas, Chromogranin A is present in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body |
