Product Details anti-CD44 Antibody

Purpose: Anti-CD44 [Hermes-1], Rat IgG2a, kappa

Specificity: This antibody is specific for CD44 (gp90 epitope cluster I), which is selectively expressed on normal or transformed lymphoid cells that are able to recognize and bind to high endothelial venules (specialized vessels that mediate lymphocyte exit from the blood into lymphoid organs). Although this antibody was raised against human CD44, it cross-reacts with murine, rat, rabbit, primate, sheep, bovine and goat CD44.

Cross-Reactivity: Cow, Goat, Mouse, Primate, Rabbit, Rat, Sheep

Characteristics:

Original Species of Ab: Rat

Original Format of Ab: IgG2a

Purification: Protein A affinity purified

Immunogen: This antibody was produced by immunizing a Fischer rat with human tonsil lymphocytes (10^7cells intraperitoneally in Freund's complete adjuvant). A boost was given 2 weeks later (intravascularly in saline).

Isotype: IgG2a kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: This antibody binds CD44, so can be used to label CD44+ cells in flow cytometry analysis. As CD44 Molecules are used to bind to high endothelial venules (HEV) at the site of lymphoctye entry to lymphoid organs, this antibody can be used to specifically stain HEV-binding cell lines (Jalkanen, 1986). In addition, this antibody blocks the adhesion of the haematopoietic progenitor cell line KG1 to hyaluronic acid (Bendall, 2003), but does not block lymphocyte binding to HEV (Picker, 1989). 7H9D6 partially blocks the binding of this antibody.
