CD141 Mouse anti-Human, BB515, Clone: 1A4, BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The 1A4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to a 75 kDa, a single chain, type I membrane glycoprotein referred to as thrombomodulin and fetomodulin. CD141 is expressed on endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, epithelial cells, synovial lining cells, and keratinocytes. It is also found on megakaryocytes, dendritic cells, peripheral blood moncytes, and neutrophils, but not on lymphocytes. Reports indicate that CD141 plays an important role in Protein C activation and the initiation of the Protein C anticoagulant pathway. Thrombin loses its procagulant function when it binds to CD141, and the CD141/thrombin complex is able to activate Protein C. The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BB515 which was developed exclusively by BD Biosciences. With an excitation max of 490nm and an emission max of 515nm, BD Horizon BB515 can be excited by the 488nm laser and detected in a standard FITC set (e.g. 530/30-nm filter). This dye provides a much brighter alternative to FITC with less spillover into the PE detector.
