Additional info: CD140b / PDGF-RB (platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta) is a cell surface receptor for members of platelet-derived growth factor family, whose intracellular part contains a tyrosine kinase domain. CD140b forms homodimers, or heterodimerizes with CD140a / PDGF-RA. Whereas CD140a can have both pro-proliferative or anti-proliferative effects, the CD140b induces in various cell types their proliferation and migration. CD140b has also developmental roles in the cardiovascular system and is preferentially expressed on some tumours such as medulloblastoma.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody HTF-1, also known as HTF1-7B8, recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD142 (tissue factor, coagulation factor III), a type I glycoprotein expressed on endothelial cells, monocytes, macrophages, and platelets upon induction by inflammatory mediators, and expressed constitutively by some tumors, the vasculature, placenta, kidney, and central nervous system.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
