Invitrogen™ CD24 Monoclonal Antibody (eBioSN3 (SN3 A5-2H10)), NovaFluor™ UV 765, eBioscience™

Description

Description: The SN3 monoclonal antibody reacts with the human CD24 molecule, also known as Heat Stable Antigen (HSA). This 35-50 kDa molecule is anchored in the plasma membrane via phosphatidylinositol and is expressed by erythrocytes, thymocytes, peripheral lymphocytes and myeloid lineage. It has been reported that P-selectin (CD62P) binds to CD24. This product contains 1 vial of NovaFluor conjugate and 1 vial of CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer. Applications Tested: This eBioSN3 (SN3 A5-2H10) antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.6 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 Master mixes. Whole Blood compatibility: When utilizing whole blood (as opposed to density-gradient-purified PBMC), we recommend lysing red blood cells in bulk prior to staining with NovaFluor conjugates.

CD24 is a 35-50 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein expressed on a variety of cell types, including erythrocytes, thymocytes, peripheral lymphocytes, and cells of the myeloid lineage. It is variably glycosylated, resulting in heterogeneity in molecular mass across different cell lineages, which can affect antibody staining levels on lymphocyte populations. In the context of B-cell development, CD24 is expressed from the pro-B-cell stage in the bone marrow through to mature, surface Ig-positive B cells, with very low or negative expression on plasma cells. It is also present on the majority of B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CCLs), and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. CD24 is thought to play a role in regulating B-cell proliferation and maturation, as well as in controlling autoimmunity. Additionally, CD24 has been reported to interact with P-selectin (CD62P), indicating a potential role in cell adhesion and signaling. CD24 is a valuable marker for studying B-cell development, leukemia, lymphoma, and autoimmune regulation, as well as its interactions with other molecules like P-selectin.
