Additional info: CD243, also known as multidrug resistant protein 1 (MDR-1) or P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an ATP binding cassette (ABC)-containing efflux transporter for xenobiotic lipophilic compounds with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier. It is expressed in many tissues, including the brain, liver, pancreas, testes, kidney, and blood (B, T, NK cells, but not monocytes).SpecificityThe antibody MEM-181 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD25 (Interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain), a 55 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on activated B and T lymphocytes, activated monocytes/macrophages and on CD4+ T lymphocytes (T regulatory cells); it is lost on resting B and T lymphocytes.Application detailsImmunohistochemistry (paraffin sections): Heat mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer pH 6.
Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 µg/ml
