This Mouse Monoclonal antibody specifically detects CD63 in FACS, IHC and IP. It exhibits reactivity toward Rat and has been mentioned in 2+ publications.
The AD1 antibody reacts with a 50-60- kDa protein that is a homolog (87 % ) of human CD63 (melanomaassociated antigen ME491). CD63, a highly glycosylated type-III lysosomal glycoprotein, is a member of the tetraspan transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) that also includes CD9, CD37, and CD53. In the rat, CD63 is expressed on mast cells and platelets. CD63 is also found on rat embryonic fibroblasts and hepatic cell, along with cultured cell lines of diverse origin (eg, liver, lung, and heart). Expression is upregulated with culture. CD63 is expressed in close proximity to the FcεRI on rat mast cells and has been shown to partially inhibit IgE-mediated histamine release. The function of CD63 has not been fully characterized. The expression of CD63 on rat CD54+ peritoneal lavage cells. Lewis rat peritoneal lavage cells were incubated simultaneously with either purified Mouse IgG1, κ isotype control (Cat. no. 557273, open histogram) or purified AD1 mAb (shaded histogram), followed by biotinylated A85-1 mAb (rat anti-mouse IgG1, Cat. no. 553441) and finally Streptavidin-FITC (Cat. no. 554060) and PE-conjugated 1A29 mAb (anti-rat CD54, Cat. no. 554970). For analysis, a gate was drawn to include CD54+ cells only (gate not shown). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.
