Recombinant CD44 Antibody

SKU: orb606959

Description

Recognizes a cell surface glycoprotein of 80-95kDa (CD44/HCAM) on lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. The CD44 family of glycoproteins exists in a number of variant isoforms, the most common being the standard 85-95kDa or hematopoietic variant (CD44s). Higher molecular weight isoforms are described in epithelial cells (CD44v), which are believed to function in intercellular adhesion and stromal binding. CD44/HCAM immunostaining is commonly used for the discrimination of urothelial transitional cell carcinoma in-situ from non-neoplastic changes in the urothelium.

Research Area

Immunology & Inflammation

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P, WB
• Dilution Range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Western blot: 2-4ug/ml
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the recombinant CD44 antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. 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.
