Catalogue

Background
CD56, M.W. 150,000, is expressed on approximately 10-25% of human peripheral blood lymphocytes. CD56 (NKH-1) is expressed on human peripheral blood natural killer cells, representing a pan NK-cell antigen. Expressed on non-MHC-restricted cytotoxic T cells.

Synonyms: CD56 biotin, NCAM, Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule

Source

Immunogen: CD56=Derived from the hybridization of mouse Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c F1 mice immunized with KG1a cell line.

Product

Product Form: Biotin

Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide and 0.2% carrier protein

Purification Method: Prot G purified before conjugation

Concentration: Titered for flow cytometry

Applications
PBMC: Add10 µl of MAB/10^6 PBMC in 100 µl PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2° to 8° C. Wash twice with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze.
