A synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1760-1775 (EPTRQENWTPLKNDLE) of human FAP-1 was used as immunogen; GenBank no. NP_542414.1. This peptide sequence is conserved in multiple isoforms of FAP-1. These FAP-1 isoforms are of varying amino acid (aa) lengths and include: (1) NP_542414.1 = 2485 aa, FAP-1 isoform 1. (2) BAD92141.1 = 2434 aa, FAP-1 isoform 2. (3) NP_542415.1 = 2294 aa, FAP-1 isoform 3. (4) NP_542416.1 = 2490 aa, FAP-1 isoform 4. (5) AAH39610.1 = 604 aa, FAP-1. (6) AAF63474.1 = 499 aa, FAP-1. For additional information on FAP-1 isoforms, users are encouraged to use the NCBI data bases such as AceView (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/Research/Acembly/) or BLAST (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/).
