CD43 Antibody

SKU: orb749796

Description

One of the major glycoproteins of thymocytes and T lymphocytes. Plays a role in the physicochemical properties of the T-cell surface and in lectin binding. Presents carbohydrate ligands to selectins. Has an extended rodlike structure that could protrude above the glycocalyx of the cell and allow multiple glycan chains to be accessible for binding. Is a counter-receptor for SN/Siglec-1 (By similarity). During T-cell activation is actively removed from the T-cell-APC (antigen-presenting cell) contact site thus suggesting a negative regulatory role in adaptive immune response (By similarity).

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IF, IHC-P
• Dilution Range: Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1) (2)
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the CD43 antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. For staining of formalin-fixed tissues, digest sections with Trypsin at 1mg/ml PBS, 15 min at room temp2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
