Clone Number: AK2
Immunogen: Human platelets
Concentration: 1 mg/ml
Format: Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.
Storage buffer: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide
Additional info: CD42b (GPIb alpha) composes together with GPIb beta, GPIX and GPV the GPIb-IX-V receptor complex critical in the process of platelet-rich thrombus formation by tethering the platelet to a thrombogenic surface. CD42b binds to von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at a site of vascular injury, as well as to thrombin, coagulation factors XI and XII, high molecular weight kininogen, TSP-1, integrin Mac-1 and P-selectin. The extracellular domain of CD42b by its interactions also contributes to metastasis. Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody A59 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD89, a 55-100 kDa glycoprotein serving as a receptor for IgA and expressed mainly on granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages. Application details: Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
