Additional info: CD162 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, PSGL-1) is a sialomucin constitutively expressed as a disulfide-linked homodimer of two 120 kDa subunits on the surface of circulating leukocytes. CD162 serves as a ligand for P- E- and L-selectin, with the highest affinity for P-selectin. It is thus involved in leukocyte rolling at the endothelial surfaces, prerequisite for firm leukocyte adhesion and subsequent transendothelial migration. CD162 also mediates leukocyte-platelet adhesion and interleukocyte contacts. Whereas serving as an adhession molecule on mature leukocytes, CD162 is a potent negative regulator of human hematopoietic progenitors.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody GHI/61 recognizes an extracellular epitope CD163, an approximately 130 kDa high affinity scavenger receptor expressed mainly on monocytes and macrophages, which binds hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1.5 - 2.5 μg/ml; positive control: human peripheral blood.
