Quick Overview for CD42a antibody (FITC) (ABIN1981888)

Target: CD42a (GP9) (Glycoprotein IX (Platelet) (GP9))

Reactivity: Human, Dog

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD42a antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: GR-P

Product Details anti-CD42a Antibody (FITC)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD42a FITC

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody GR-P (also known as GRP-P) recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD42a (glycoprotein 9), a 22 kDa transmembrane protein constitutively expressed on megakaryocytes and platelets.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human, Canine (Dog)

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

Immunogen: Human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 4 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Target Details for CD42a

Target: CD42a (GP9) (Glycoprotein IX (Platelet) (GP9))

Alternative Name: CD42a

Background: Glycoprotein IX platelet,CD42a, also known as glycoprotein 9 (GPIX), composes together with GPIb alpha, GPIb beta and GPV the GPIb-IX-V receptor complex critical in the process of platelet-rich thrombus formation by tethering the platelet to a thrombogenic surface. CD42b binds to von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at a site of vascular injury, as well as to thrombin, coagulation factors XI and XII, high molecular wight kininogen, TSP-1, integrin Mac-1 and P-selectin. Defects in the gene encoding CD42a are a cause of Bernard-Soulier syndrome, also known as giant platelet disease. These patients have unusually large platelets and have a clinical bleeding tendency.,GPIX, GP9
