Additional info: CD56 (NCAM, neural cell adhesion molecule) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of immunoglobulin family serving as adhesive molecule which is ubiquitously expressed in nervous system, usually as 120 kDa, 140 kDa or 180 kDa isoform, and it is also found on T cells and NK cells. Polysialic modification results in reduction of CD56-mediated cell adhesion and is involved in cell migration, axonal growth, pathfinding and synaptic plasticity. CD56 is a widely used neuroendocrine marker with a high sensitivity for neuroendocrine tumours and ovarian granulosa cell tumours.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody TB01 recognizes CD57, a carbohydrate extracellular antigen present mainly on NK cells, NK T cells, and in neural tissue.Application detailsWestern blotting: Non-reducing conditions.
Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 µg/ml
