Mouse monoclonal [F10-44-2] antibody to CD44 (FITC).
Specificity
This antibody recognises human CD44, also known as Epican, HCAM, Phagocytic Glycoprotein 1 (PGP-1) or Hyaluronate receptor. Human CD44 is a single pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein of variable molecular weight ranging from ~90kDa to ~220kDa depending on alternate splicing of the variable region exons and on the degree of glycosylation. CD44 is expressed on multiple cell types and is involved in multiple functions including cell-cell interactions and cell-extracellular matrix binding. Hyaluronan, a high molecular weight polysaccharide component of the extracellular matrix acts as the principal ligand for the CD44 receptor. CD44 isoforms containing one or more sequences encoded by the variant region exons have a much more restricted expression pattern both in terms of organ specificity and immune activation. . recognises an epitope on human CD44 outside the regions coded for by the variable region exons and is thus expected to recognize all isoforms of human CD44.

General Notes
Mouse anti Human CD44 antibody, clone F10-44-2 recognizes human CD44, also known as Epican, HCAM, Phagocytic Glycoprotein 1 (PGP-1) or Hyaluronate receptor . Human CD44 is a single pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein of variable molecular weight ranging from ~90kDa to ~220kDa depending on alternate splicing of the variable region exons and on the degree of glycosylation. CD44 is expressed on multiple cell types and is involved in multiple functions including cell-cell interactions and cell-extracellular matrix binding. Hyaluronan, a high molecular weight polysaccharide component of the extracellular matrix acts as the principal ligand for the CD44 receptor (Laurent and Fraser 1992).CD44 isoforms containing one or more sequences encoded by the variant region exons have a much more restricted expression pattern both in terms of organ specificity and immune activation (Mackay et al. 1994). .Mouse anti Human CD44 antibody, clone F10-44-2 recognizes an epitope on human CD44 outside the regions coded for by the variable region exons and is thus expected to recognize all isoforms of human CD44 (Mackay et al. 1994).
