This antibody reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD53, a 32-40 kDa tetraspanin family glycoprotein exclusively expressed on leukocytes. It is not present on platelets, red blood cells, and non-hematopoietic cells. This antibody also reacts with the deglycosylated molecule (molecular weight of the antigen is reduced by 15 kDa using endoglycosidase F).
Applications
Flow Cytometry
Dilutions
Flow Cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 20 µl reagent / 100 µl of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
