MGMT protects cells from alkylating toxins, and is an important factor in drug resistance to alkylating therapeutic agents . It is ubiquitously expressed in normal human tissues  and is overexpressed in many types of human tumors, but epigenetically silenced in other tumors. MGMT silencing is a marker associated with poor prognosis, but is a good predictive marker for response to alkylating agent chemotherapy .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurification and Purity: This antibody is purified through a protein G column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX., Immunofluorescent analysis of MGMT staining in Hela cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. Phalloidin - AF555 was used to stain the cytoplasm (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlternative Name: Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine methyltransferase; 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase; MGMT; O-6-methylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmunogen: Recombinant fusion protein of human MGMT.
