Clone: BRA4F1
Background: CD15 is a carbohydrate that is referred to as the Lewis X antigen, also known as alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 4, which is expressed on a variety of glycolipids and glycoproteins found on the cell surface of neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and non-hematopoietic tissues including embryonic tissues. CD15 is reported to function as an adhesion molecule and is involved in chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Expression of CD15 is also associated with a wide variety of tumour cells including some adenocarcinomas and certain types of myeloid and lymphoid leukaemias. Reed-Sternberg cells, found in cases of Hodgkins Lymphoma, also express CD15 and antibodies recognising the CD15 antigen are often used to help differentiate between Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Source: BRA4F1 is a mouse IgM monoclonal antibody derived from the fusion of SP2.0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with splenocytes from a BALB/c mouse immunized with K562 cells.
Specificity: The antibody BRA4F1 is directed against human CD15. The antibody does not cross react with the sialylated form of CD15 (CD15s).
Formulation: Each vial contains 100 µl 1mg/ml purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide. The product is delivered in lyophilised format.
