Reactivity: Human, Rat, Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD56 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Product Details anti-CD56 Antibody

Binding Specificity: Extracellular Domain

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: A membrane preparation of small cell lung carcinoma was used as the immunogen for this CD56 antibody. This mAb reacts with an extracellular domain (close to transmembrane) of CD56/NCAM.

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 μg/million cells in 0.1ml

Immunofluorescence: 0.5-1 μg/mL

Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT (1)

Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

The optimal dilution of the CD56 antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.

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.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for CD56

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

Alternative Name: CD56

Background: Three isoforms of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) 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. Anti-CD56 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). Anti-CD56 plays an important role in the diagnosis of nodal and nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas.
