| Clone: | MEM-06 |
|---|---|
| Isotype: | Mouse IgG1 |
| Specificity: | The antibody MEM-06 reacts with CD41 (GPIIb), a transmembrane glycoprotein (integrin family) composed of two chains GPIIb alpha (heavy chain; 120 kDa) and GPIIb beta (light chain; 23 kDa). CD41 is mainly expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. |
| Immunogen: | Leukocytes of patient suffering from LGL-type leukaemia. |
| Species Reactivity: | Human |
| Preparation: | The purified antibody is conjugated with Biotin-LC-NHS under optimum conditions. The reagent is free of unconjugated biotin. |
| Concentration: | 1 mg/ml |
| Storage Buffer: | Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 15 mM sodium azide, approx. pH 7.4 |
| Storage / Stability: | Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label. |
| Usage: | Biotinylated antibody is designed for indirect immunofluorescence analysis by Flow Cytometry. Suggested working dilution is 1:200. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator. |
| Expiration: | See vial label |
| Lot Number: | See vial label |
| Background: | CD41 (platelet glycoprotein IIb) is composed of two subunits (120 kDa a, alpha and 23 kDa b, beta) that interact with CD61 in the presence of calcium to form a functional adhesive protein receptor. Upon blood vessel damage, this receptor binds to a variety of proteins including von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, fibronectin and vitronectin. CD41 is mainly expressed on megakaryocyte-platelet lineage, but generally belongs to the antigens that are expressed during early stages of hematopoietic differentiation. |
