Conjugate: This CD44 antibody is conjugated to APC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: MEM-85

Product Details anti-CD44 Antibody (APC)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD44 APC

Specificity: The antibody MEM-85 reacts with an extracellular antigen of 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.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with activated allophycocyanin (APC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Leukocytes of a patient suffering from LGL Type Leukaemia.

Target Details for CD44

Target: CD44

Alternative Name: CD44

Background: CD44 Molecule,CD44 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of most cells, which serves as a receptor for hyaluronan. CD44 mediates angiogenesis, cell adhesion, proliferation and migration, it is thus important for lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, it can thus serve e.g. as a modulator of macrophage recruitment in response to pathogen. Although CD44 functions are essential for physiological activities of normal cells, elevated CD44 expression correlates with poor prognosis in many carcinomas, facilitating tumour growth and metastasis, antiapoptosis and directional motility of cancer cells.,PGP-I, HUTCH-I, ECMR-III, Hermes antigen, Hyaluronate receptor, Heparan sulfate proteoglycan, Epican, MC56, MIC4, INLU, LHR
