There are 4+ publications for this product available. The Armenian Hamster Monoclonal anti-GP5 antibody is suitable to detect GP5 in samples from Mouse and Rat. It has been validated for FACS, IP, IF and IHC (fro).
The 1C2 antibody reacts with CD42d (Platelet Glycoprotein V, GPV), a glycoprotein of 74 kDa in the mouse and 88 kDa in the rat. GPV noncovalently associates with GPIb (CD42b and c) and GPIX (CD42a) to form a receptor for von Willebrand factor on megakaryocytes and resting platelets. The binding sites for von Willebrand factor and thrombin have been localized to the GPIbachain (CD42b) of the GPIb-V-IX complex. GPV is cleaved by thrombin to release a 69- kDa soluble fragment, which contains the epitope recognized by mAb 1C2. The 1C2 antibody does not cross-react with human platelets nor with other hematopoietic cells of the mouse and rat. Anti-mouse CD41 mAb MWReg30 (Cat. No. 553848, for the FITC conjugate) may be used with mAb 1C2 to monitor mouse megakaryocyte maturation.
