Description: CD56 (NCAM, neural cell adhesion molecule) is a transmembrane glycoprotein ofimmunoglobulin family serving as adhesive molecule which is ubiquitously expressed innervous system, usually as 120 kDa, 140 kDa or 180 kDa isoform, and it is also found on Tcells and NK cells. Polysialic modification results in reduction of CD56-mediated celladhesion and is involved in cell migration, axonal growth, pathfinding and synaptic plasticity.CD56 is a widely used neuroendocrine marker with a high sensitivity for neuroendocrinetumours and ovarian granulosa cell tumours.

Specificity: The antibody MEM-188 reacts with a 180 kDa isoform of CD56 (NCAM) expressed inleukocytes. It has been suggested that the antibody MEM-188 could react with rhesusmonkey lymphocytes. Reactivity with other NCAM isoforms has not been tested.HLDA VI, WS code A055HLDA VI, WS Code NK26HLDA VII, WS code 70077

Application Details

Application Notes: The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 µl reagent / 100 µl of whole blood or 10 6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Buffer: The reagent is provided in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 15 mM sodium azideand 0.2% (w/v) high-grade protease free Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a stabilizing agent.

Storage: Store in the dark at 2-8 o C. Do not freeze. Avoid prolonged exposure to light. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label.Short-term exposure to room temperature should not affect the quality of the reagent.However, if reagent is stored under any conditions other than those specified, the conditions must be verified by the user.

Research Area: CD Antigens, Surface Receptors of Immune Cells, Signaling
