Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-CLEC2 [AYP2]
- Clone: AYP2
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human papilloma virus
- Host: Mouse
- Molecular weight of the target: 26 kDa
- Application: WB
- Description: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease associated with increased microparticle production, have raised plasma levels of microparticles that expressed CLEC-2 but not GPVI. CLEC-2 can be used to monitor platelet-derived microparticles. The observation that microparticles derived from activated platelets retain CLEC-2 but lose GPVI highlights the potential use of measurement of surface expression of platelet receptors to screen for platelet activation in a wide variety of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.
- Immunogen: A recombinant extracellular fragment of human CLEC-2 (aa 68-229), which is the extracellular domain of the protein.
- Isotype: IgG1 kappa
- Research area: Tissue-specific biology; Immunology
- Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14
- For Research Use Only
