The Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD15 antibody (Clone MMA) (ABIN5526904) specifically detects CD15 in FACS, IHC (p), ICC and IHC (fro).
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The mouse monoclonal antibody MMA reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD15, a cell membrane 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine (3-FAL) strongly expressed on granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells, it is also present on Langerhans cells and some myeloid precursors cells. This antibody is a superior reagent for identifying of Hodgkin´s lymphoma.
Purification
Purified by sequential steps of physicochemical fractionation (differential precipitation and solid-phase chromatography methods).
CD15 (Lewis x), also known as stage specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1) is a trisacharide determinant (3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine) expressed on several glycolipids, glycoproteins and proteoglycans of various cell types, e.g. granulocytes, mast cells, monocytes, macrophages, cells of gastric mucosa, nervous system or various tumour cells. There are several structural relatives of Lewis x, e.g. sialyl-Lewis x or sulphated Lewis x. Cells with high surface expression of Le(x) antigen exhibit strong self-aggregation, based on calcium-dependent Le(x)-Le(x) interaction. This process is involved for example in embryo compaction or in autoaggregation of teratocarcinoma cells. Sialyl-Le(x) and its isomer sialyl-Le(a) are ligands of selectins. CD15 expression has been extensively used to confirm diagnosis of Hodgkin´s disease.,Lewis x Blood Group antigen, Le(x), SSEA-1, 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine
