CD43 antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN303537

Product Details anti-CD43 Antibody (FITC)

Target: CD43 (SPN) (Sialophorin (SPN))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD43 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: This antibody recognizes neuraminidase-sensitive epitope on CD43 (Leukosialin), a 95-135 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein (mucin-type) which is involved in lymphocyte activation. CD43 is expressed by platelets and at high levels on the surface of all leukocytes, it is negative on resting B lymphocytes and erythrocytes.

Immunogen: Human T lymphocytes

Clone: MEM-59

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10^6 cells in a suspension.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 15 mM sodium azide and 0.2 % (w/v) high-grade protease free Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a stabilizing agent

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Background: CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin) is a transmembrane mucin-like protein with high negative charge, expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells. CD43 contributes to a repulsive barrier that interferes with cellular adhesion, however, in certain cases also promotes leukocyte aggregation. By interaction with actin-binding proteins ezrin and moesin CD43 plays a regulatory role in remodeling T-cell morphology and regulates cell-cell interactions during lymphocyte traffic. CD43 signaling both enhances LFA-1 adhesiveness and counteracts LFA-1 induction via other receptors. Expression of CD43 causes induction of functionally active tumour suppressor p53 protein, but in case of p53 and ARF defficiency CD43 promotes tumour proliferation and viability. It appears to be an important modulator of leukocyte functions.Synonyms: Galactoglycoprotein, Leukocyte sialoglycoprotein, SPN, Sialophorin
