CD44 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026505

Product Details anti-CD44 Antibody

Target: CD44

Reactivity: Human, Baboon, Green Monkey

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD44 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a cell surface glycoprotein of 80-95 kDa, called CD44, or HCAM, on lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes (Leucocyte Typing Workshop V). Its epitope is resistant to digestion by trypsin and chymotrypsin. The CD44 family of glycoproteins exists in a number of variant isoforms, the most common being the standard 85-95 kDa or hematopoietic variant (CD44-s). Higher molecular weight isoforms are described in epithelial cells (CD44-v), which are believed to function in intercellular adhesion and stromal binding. HCAM antibody immunostaining is commonly used for the discrimination of urothelial transitional cell carcinoma in-situ from non-neoplastic changes in the urothelium.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Stimulated human leukocytes were used as the immunogen for this CD44 / HCAM antibody.

Clone: 156-3C11

Isotype: IgG2a 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 HCAM 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.\. ELISA: order BSA-free format for coating,FACS: 0.5-1 μg/million cells,IF: 0.5-1 μg/mL,WB: 0.5-1 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
