Quick Overview for CD15 antibody (PE) (ABIN7540420)

Target: CD15 (FUT4) (Fucosyltransferase 4 (Alpha (1,3) Fucosyltransferase, Myeloid-Specific) (FUT4))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD15 antibody is conjugated to PE

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: W6D3

Product Details anti-CD15 Antibody (PE)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD15 PE

Specificity: Mouse monoclonal antibody W6D3 recognizes CD15 in nonterminal position on extracellular glycoproteins. CD15 (a cell membrane 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine, 3-FAL) is strongly expressed on granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells, it is also present on Langerhans cells and some myeloid precursors cells. This is a non-IgM anti-CD15 antibody.

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: WERI-RB-1 retinoblastoma cell line

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Alternative Name: CD15

Background:

Description: 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.

Other names: Lewis x Blood Group antigen, Le(x), SSEA-1, 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine
