Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-CD44 [P1H5]
- Clone: P1H5
- Tool type: Antibody
- Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse
- Molecular weight of the target: 125-145 kDa
- Application: FACS, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot
- Description: MoAb is a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against HT-1080. MoAb was developed to identify four distinct classes (I, II, III, IV) of cell surface receptors for native collagen. This antibody inhibited cell adhesion to type VI and I collagens only and not to fibronectin or laminin.
- Immunogen: HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line
- Isotype: IgG1
- Research area: Cell biology
- For Research Use Only
Target Details
- Target: CD44
- Target molecular weight: 125-145 kDa
- Target background: CD44 is a hyaluronan cell adhesion molecule (HCAM), GP90 lymphocyte homing receptor, and class III collagen receptor (CRIII). Antibody bound and inhibited cell adhesion to type VI and I collagens (and bound type III, IV, and V collagens with no inhibition) only and not to fibronectin or laminin
Application Details
- Application: FACS, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot
- Application notes: A good starting concentration for immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) when using mouse Ig is 2-5 ug/ml. For western blots, the recommended concentration range of mouse Ig 0.2-0.5 ug/ml. In general, rabbit antibodies demonstrate greater affinity and are used at a magnitude lower Ig concentration for initial testing. The recommended concentrations for rabbit Ig are 0.2-0.5 ug/ml (IF, IHC and ICC) and 20-50 ng/ml (WB).
Handling
- Storage conditions: For immediate use, short term storage at 4°C up to two weeks is recommended. For long term storage, divide the solution into volumes of no less than 20 ul for freezing at -20°C or -80°C. The small volume aliquot should provide sufficient reagent for short term use. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
