CD42b antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN2749169

Product Details anti-CD42b Antibody (FITC)

Target: CD42b (GP1BA) (Glycoprotein Ib (Platelet), alpha Polypeptide (GP1BA))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD42b antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody AK2 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD42b (GPIb alpha), a 135-145 kDa membrane glycoprotein expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. CD42b and CD42c (GPIb beta) are composed in a disulfide linked heterodimer (CD42b/c, 160 kDa), CD42b/c forms a noncovalent complex with CD42a and CD42d.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

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 platelets

Clone: AK2

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.

Comment:

The purified antibody is conjugated with Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions. The reagent is free of unconjugated FITC and adjusted for direct use. No reconstitution is necessary.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Background: Glycoprotein Ib platelet subunit alpha,CD42b (GPIb alpha) composes together with GPIb beta, GPIX 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 weight kininogen, TSP-1, integrin Mac-1 and P-selectin. The extracellular domain of CD42b by its interactions also contributes to metastasis.,BSS, GP1B, VWDP, CD42B, GPIbA, BDPLT1, BDPLT3, DBPLT3
