Specificity
Mouse anti Human CD100 antibody, clone A8 recognizes human Sepaphorin 4D, also known as CD100, A8, BB18 or GR3. CD100 is a 841 amino acid ~150 kDa homodimeric single pass type 1 transmembrane cell surface glycoprotein acting as a receptor for some members of the plexin family. CD100 is expressed at low levels by peripheral blood T cells, and at higher density on activated T cells and B cells, it is also expresses at high levels in fetal kidney with lower levels in fetal brain, liver and lung (Maestrini et al. 1996).
