Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)
Specificity
This antibody is directed against the CD97 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with CD97 proteins from Mouse (100 %) and Rat (74 %). Only 49 % homology is noted for the Human homologue. Reactivity against CD97 from other sources is not known.

CD97 is a membrane antigen that is either constitutively expressed or induced by activation on cells of the immune system including hematopoietic cells. Particularly high levels of expression are also seen in the lung and the thymus gland. In the spleen, expression is detected on most myeloid cells and variable portions of T cells, B cells and NK cells. In humans, CD97 expression is upregulated during lymphocyte activation on various epithelial cancer cells including colon, thyroid, stomach, and esophagus. One high affinity ligand that has been identified for CD97 is the integrin alpha 5 beta 1. CD97 engagement of endothelial alpha 5 beta 1 results in increased angiogenesis. Signals generated through CD97 are thought to result in Rho activation and the regulation of motility. Antibodies against CD97 are suitable for exploring various mouse genetic models of cancer, angiogenesis, and inflammation. CD97 can be proteolytically cleaved into 2 subunits, an extracellular alpha subunit and a seven-transmembrane subunit. Multiple isoforms have been identified for this protein.Synonyms: Leukocyte antigen CD97
