Questions? Please consult our answers to frequently asked questions at http://www.ebioscience.com/faq. DescriptionThe IM7 monoclonal antibody reacts with all isoforms of mouse CD44 (Pgp-1). CD44 is expressed by hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. Bone marrow myeloid cells and memory T cells highly express this antigen and peripheral B and T cells can upregulate the expression of CD44. CD44 functions as an adhesion molecule through its binding to hyaluronate, an extracellular matrix component. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The IM7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemical staining and immunoblotting (non-reducing conditions). It has also been reported in complement-dependent cytotoxicity. (Please use Functional Grade purified IM7, cat. 16-0441, in functional assays.) Applications TestedThe IM7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse bone marrow cells and splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
