Target: CD24.
Clone: M1/69.
Specificity: Anti-CD24 antibody (clone M1/69) activity is directed against mouse CD24, also known as Heat Stable Antigen (HSA) or Ly-52.
Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Antigen Distribution: CD24 is expressed on B cells, T cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages, neural cells, ganglion cells, keratinocytes, muscle cells, pancreas cells, lymphocytes, granulocytes, epithelial cells, thymocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, dendritic cells and is overexpressed in many cancers. Expression varies during T and B cell differentiation. Peripheral T cells are mainly negative.
Background: Mouse CD24 is a small 27 amino acid sialoglycoprotein that is anchored to plasma membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linker. CD24 is widely distributed and plays a role in many diverse functions including adaptive immunity, inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. CD24 modulates growth and differentiation signals to granulocytes and B cells, is required for homeostatic cell renewal, binds to P-selectin on activated endothelial cells, plays a role in cell adhesion, lymphocyte proliferation for homeostatic purposes4, lymphocyte costimulation via CD28-independent pathways as well as a crucial role in cell selection and maturation during hematopoiesis.
Immunogen: M1/69 was generated by fusing the spleen cells of a DA rat immunized with B10 mouse spleen cells enriched for T cells with cells from a nonsecreting mouse myeloma line (NSI).
