Invitrogen™ CD56 (NCAM) Monoclonal Antibody (CMSSB), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This CMSSB monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD56, also known as Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM). CD56 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane molecule expressed by neurons and plays a role in the homotypic adhesion of neural cells. In the hematopoietic system, CD56 is expressed on NK cells and a subset of T cells referred to as NKT cells. Staining with CMSSB does not block binding of MEM188 or CB56. Applications Reported: This CMSSB antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis and immunohistology staining of paraffin embedded tissue sections. Applications Tested: This CMSSB antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1.0 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
