Description

General description

CD56 (NCAM, neural cell adhesion molecule) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of immunoglobulin family serving as adhesive molecule which is ubiquitously expressed in nervous system, usually as 120 kDa, 140 kDa or 180 kDa isoform, and it is also found on T cells and NK cells. Polysialic modification results in reduction of CD56-mediated cell adhesion and is involved in cell migration, axonal growth, pathfinding and synaptic plasticity. CD56 is a widely used neuroendocrine marker with a high sensitivity for neuroendocrine tumours and ovarian granulosa cell tumours.

Specificity

The mouse monoclonal antibody LT56 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD56 (NCAM), a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed ubiquitously in the nervous system and found also on T cells and NK cells.

Immunogen

Cell line KG1a

Physical form

Stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide

Preparation Note

Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Storage and Stability

Store at 2-8°C. Protect from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Other Notes

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.
