General Notes
Mouse anti Rat CD45 antibody, clone OX-1 recognizes CD45, also known as the leucocyte common antigen (LCA). The leucocyte common antigen consists of a family of heavily glycosylated membrane glycoproteins of molecular weight 180 – 240kDa.Antibodies recognising a common epitope on all of these isoforms are termed CD45, whilst those recognising only individual isoforms are termed CD45RA, CD45RO etc. OX-1 reacts with all forms of CD45 expressed by all haematopoietic cells, except erythrocytes.CD45 isoforms play complex roles in T-cell and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction.This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat splenocytes
