anti-Rat CD44 Purified (Clone OX-49) (mouse IgG2a)

Formulation: Lyophilized, Purified IgG buffered in PBS and 0.02% NaN3. (Purified from ascitic fluid via Protein G Chromatography). For maximum recovery of contents, spin down tube before use.

Intended use: It can be used as a detection or capture antibody in a variety of immunoassays, such as Flow Cytometry, Immunoprecipitation, Cryostat Sections, Paraffin-Embedded Sections, Functional Assay.

Nanoparticle Conjugates can be developed by passive adsorption or covalent conjugation of antibodies to the nanoparticle surface. The resulting conjugate can be used in applications such as blotting, electron microscopy, lateral flow and immunohistochemistry.

Properties

anti-rat CD44 (OX-49) monoclonal antibody recognizes rat CD44 (Pgp-1), also called CD44H. This antigen is expressed on most leukocytes (except a sub population of B cells) and increases upon activation. The OX-49 antibody binds extracellularly to the standard (S) form on rat leukocytes, but it is not known if they bind to the N-terminal region. It has also been reported that the antibody may bind to melanoma cell lines that express CD44V (splice variant form)
