CD53 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: MEM-53]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	MEM-53
Applications	FC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 µl reagent / 100 µl of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Leukocytes of pacient suffering from a LGL-type leukemia
Specificity	This antibody reacts with CD53, a 32-40 kDa tetraspanin family glycoprotein exclusivelly expressed on leukocytes; it is not present on platelets, red blood cells and non-hematopoietic cells. It reacts also with deglycosylated molecule (molecular weight of the antigen is reduced by 15 kDa using endoglycosidase F).

Purification	Size-exclusion chromatography
Conjugation	PE
Storage Condition	Store the antibody at 2 - 8 °C. DO NOT FREEZE! This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
Gene Name	CD53 molecule
Database Link	Entrez Gene 963 Human UniProt ID P19397
Background	CD53 is a tetraspanin family transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in the lymphoid-myeloid lineage. This molecule has been reported to form complexes with other leukocyte surface proteins such as CD2, CD19, CD21, MHC II, VLA-4 or tetraspanins CD37, CD81 and CD82, thus probably modulating various signaling processes. CD53 is involved in radioresistancy of tumour cells and its triggering has anti-apoptotic effect. In thymus, CD53 is up-regulated in response to positive selection signals during T cell development, and is strongly expressed upon macrophage exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, whereas stimulation of neutrophils results in down-regulation of CD53 expression.
Synonyms	Cell surface glycoprotein CD53, Tetraspanin-25, MOX44, TSPAN25
