| Specificity | This antibody recognises CD143, also known as angiotensin - converting enzyme (ACE). This antibody recognises active ACE binding to an N-terminal domain epitope different to that recognised by clone 9B9 (SM1658). |
| Application | Flow cytometry: neat - 1/10; use 10 ?l of he suggested working dilution to label 10e6 cells in 100?l. |
| Background | CD143 exists in two forms, a 170kD somatic form and a 90kD germinal form. The somatic form is expressed by endothelial cells (especially those of arterioles and lung capillaries), epithelial cells (especially in proximal renal tubules and in the small intestine), by some neuronal cells and variably on some macrophages and T lymphocytes. The germinal form is expressed by spermatozoa. |
| Concentration | 0.1 mg/ml |
