Product Details anti-CD99 Antibody (Biotin)

Purpose: CD99 / MIC2 (Ewing's Sarcoma Marker)(12E7 + MIC2/877), Biotin conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a sialoglycoprotein of 27-32 kDa, identified as CD99, or MIC2 gene product, or E2 antigen. MIC2 gene is located in the pseudo-autosomal region of the human X and Y chromosome. MIC2 gene encodes two distinct proteins, which are produced by alternative splicing of the CD99 gene transcript and are identified as bands of 30 and 32 kDa (p30/32).Although its function is not fully understood, CD99 is implicated in various cellular processes including homotypic aggregation of T cells, upregulation of T cell receptor and MHS molecules, apoptosis of immature thymocytes and leukocyte diapedesis. CD99 is expressed on the cell membrane of some lymphocytes, cortical thymocytes, and granulosa cells of the ovary. Most pancreatic islet cells, Sertoli cells of the testis, and some endothelial cells express this antigen. Mature granulocytes express very little or no CD99. MIC2 is strongly expressed on Ewing's sarcoma cells and primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumors.

Immunogen: Human acute lymphocytic leukemia T-cells (12E7), Recombinant human MIC2 protein (MIC2/877)

Isotype: IgG1, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: 5-10 uL/million cells. Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody. Immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed): 1:100-1:200 for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Immunofluorescence 1:100-1:200. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
