Description

The WM-15 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD13, also known as aminopeptidase N. CD13 is a transmembrane ectoenzyme occurring on monocytes and granulocytes but not lymphocytes in blood. It is also reportedly on a wide variety of cells and in a wide variety of tissues, including endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, kidney proximal tubules, intestine, and placenta. CD13 is reported to have many different functions including degradation of enkephalins and endorphins, terminal degradation of peptides, amino acid scavenging, antigen processing, and adhesion and migration of cells.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The WM-15 (WM15) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The WM-15 (WM15) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of lysed whole blood. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 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.
