Quick Overview for CD56 antibody (ABIN3026427)

Target: CD56 (NCAM1) (Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM1))

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD56 antibody is un-conjugated

Product Details anti-CD56 Antibody

Characteristics: This antibody reacts with an extracellular domain (close to transmembrane) of NCAM (Neural cell adhesion molecule), also called CD56. Three isoforms of NCAM / CD56 are produced by differential splicing of the RNA transcript from a single gene. The 135 kDa isoform is the basic molecule, which is glycosylated or sialylated to produce the mature species. NCAM antibody recognizes two proteins of the neural cell adhesion molecule, the basic molecule expressed on most neuroectodermally derived tissues and neoplasms (e.g. retinoblastoma, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, neuroblastomas, and small cell carcinomas). It is also expressed on some mesodermally derived tumors (rhabdomyosarcoma). NCAM antibody plays an important role in the diagnosis of nodal and nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: A membrane preparation of a small cell lung carcinoma was used as the immunogen for this NCAM / CD56 antibody.

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10  mM Citrate Buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.\. Western blot: 0.5-1 μg/mL, FACS: 0.5-1 μg/million cells,IF: 1-2 μg/mL,IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT (1),Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only
