CD43 antibody (APC)

Catalog No. ABIN192108

Product Details anti-CD43 Antibody (APC)

Target: CD43 (SPN) (Sialophorin (SPN))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD43 antibody is conjugated to APC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The antibody MEM-59 recognizes a neuraminidase-sensitive extracellular epitope on CD43 (Leukosialin), a 95-135 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein (mucin-type) which is involved in lymphocyte activation. CD43 is expressed by platelets and at high levels on the surface of all leukocytes, it is negative on resting B lymphocytes and erythrocytes.

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

Immunogen: Human T lymphocytes.

Clone: MEM-59

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for CD43

Target: CD43 (SPN) (Sialophorin (SPN))

Alternative Name: SPN (SPN Products)

Background: Sialophorin,CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin) is a transmembrane mucin-like protein with high negative charge, expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells. CD43 contributes to a repulsive barrier that interferes with cellular adhesion, however, in certain cases also promotes leukocyte aggregation. By interaction with actin-binding proteins ezrin and moesin CD43 plays a regulatory role in remodeling T-cell morphology and regulates cell-cell interactions during lymphocyte traffic. CD43 signaling both enhances LFA-1 adhesiveness and counteracts LFA-1 induction via other receptors. Expression of CD43 causes induction of functionally active tumour suppressor p53 protein, but in case of p53 and ARF defficiency CD43 promotes tumour proliferation and viability. It appears to be an important modulator of leukocyte functions.,Leukosialin, Sialophorin, Galactoglycoprotein, GALGP, LSN, SPN, GALGP, GP5
