Characteristics
1. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. 2. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results. 3. Please refer to us for technical protocols.
Purification
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Application Notes
Functional Studies: Anti-LECAM-1 monoclonal antibodies have been shown to inhibit neutrophil localization at sites of acute inflammation. Anti-LECAM-1 monoclonal antibody (clone SK11) also induces suppressor function in CD4+ T lymphocytes but does not induce lymphocyte proliferation.
Immunoblotting: Using anti-LECAM-1 monoclonal antibody (clone SK11) in Western blot analysis of extracts from Leu- 8-transfected COS cells and the human T-cell leukemia line (Jurkat) revealed at least seven species of similar molecular weight and at least two closely spaced bands of 76 kD, the largest molecular weight form seen in COS cells.
This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Anti-LECAM-1 (Leu-8/TQ1) monoclonal antibody (clone SK11) recognizes an 80 kD protein on the surface of human leukocytes. The leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (LECAM-1) protein is the human homologue of the murine lymph node homing receptor, MEL-14, a molecule that initiates the adhesion of circulating leukocytes to high endothelium in postcapillary venules. LECAM-1 belongs to the selectin family of cell adhesion molecules and is also known as CD62L. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Synonyms: L-Selectin
