Miltenyi Biotec Cd44 Antibody, Anti-Mouse, Fitc

Miltenyi Biotec Mouse CD44 is also known as Pgp-1, HCELL, HUTCH-I, HCAM, HERMES, and Ly-24. Clone IM7 reacts with murine CD44, an 80–95 kDa membrane glycoprotein. It is expressed by a variety of hematopoetic and non-hematopoetic cells. Different isoforms are generated by alternative splicing. Clone IM7 reacts with all isoforms and both allelic forms of CD44. CD44 functions as a receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA) and mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions through its affinity for HA, and possibly also through its affinity for other ligands, such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). CD44 expression is upregulated on naive T cells upon activation and high CD44 expression is maintained on memory T cells. Therefore, CD44 is often used to discriminate CD44highantigen-experienced T cells from CD44low (CD62L+) naive T cells. - MLTY (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
