CD56 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6940173

Product Details anti-CD56 Antibody

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

Reactivity: Human, Rat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD56 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: This MAb reacts with an extracellular domain (close to transmembrane) of CD56/NCAM. 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.

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G

Immunogen: Recombinant human NCAM1 protein
