Monoclonal Anti-CD44-FITC antibody produced in mouse

产品说明

一般描述

The antibody MEM-85 reacts with both cell surface-expressed and soluble form of CD44 antigen (Phagocyte glycoprotein 1), a 80-95 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein (hyaladherin family) present on the most of cells and tissues (leukocytes, endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, etc.); it is negative on platelets and hepatocytes.
The CD44 (cell-surface glycoprotein) gene with 20 exons is mapped to human chromosome 11p13. The gene codes for a transmembrane glycoprotein.

免疫原

Leukocytes of a patient suffering from LGL Type Leukaemia.

应用

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Monoclonal Anti-CD44-FITC antibody produced in mouse has been used as a reagent to distinguish HeLa (cancer) cells from chondrocyte (normal) cells.

生化/生理作用

CD44 (cell-surface glycoprotein) is involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. It plays an important role in lymphocyte homing and lymphocyte activation. It also acts as a metastasis suppressor gene for prostatic cancer. Overexpression of CD44 leads to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). CD44 inhibits macrophage multinucleation by interacting with its ligands, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfates and osteopontin. 100kDa form of CD44, facilitates the binding of poliovirus to HeLa cells. In addition, it also implicated in the infection of mononuclear phagocytes by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
