Quick Overview for CD59 antibody (FITC) (ABIN94201)

Target: CD59

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD59 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: MEM-43

Product Details anti-CD59 Antibody (FITC)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD59 FITC

Specificity: The antibody MEM-43 reacts with well defined epitope (W40, R-53) on CD59 (Protectin), an 18-20 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein expressed on the surface of all hematopoietic cells, it is widely present on cells in all tissues. This antibody does not compete with MEM-43/5, and has blocking activity.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Thymocytes and T lymphocytes

Isotype: IgG2a kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Reconstitution: No reconstitution is necessary.

Target Details for CD59

Target: CD59

Alternative Name: CD59

Background: CD59 Molecule,CD59 (protectin) is a small (18-20 kDa) GPI-anchored ubiquitously expressed inhibitor of the membrane attack complex (MAC). It is thus the key regulator that preserves the autologous cells from terminal effector mechanism of the complement cascade. CD59 associates with C5b-8 complex and thereby counteracts appropriate formation of cytolytic pore within the plasma membrane. CD59 is also an low-affinity ligand of human CD2 and causes T cell costimulation.,MACIF, MAC-IP, protectin, MIRL, HRF-20, HRF20, 1F5, MIN
