Questions? Please consult our answers to frequently asked questions at http://www.ebioscience.com/faq. DescriptionThe AK-4 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD62P, a 140 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein also known as P-Selectin. Upon activation, CD62P is rapidly transported from its cytoplasmic stores in the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells or the alpha-granules of platelets to the surface. CD62P initiates the adhesive interaction between endothelial cells and neutrophils and monocytes during the inflammatory reaction and is also involved in the interaction of platelets with monocytes and neutrophils. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The AK-4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, and immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections. AK-4 has also been reported in blocking adhesion of platelets in in vitro assays. (Please use Functional Grade purified AK-4 in functional assays.) Applications TestedThis AK-4 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of resting and thrombin-activated human platelets. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume). It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
