Flow cytometric analysis of CD44 expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Whole blood was stained with either Purified Mouse Anti-Human CD44 (Cat. No. 550988; solid line histogram) or Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555746; dashed line histogram). Secondary staining was carried out with FITC Goat Anti-Mouse IgG/IgM (Cat. No. 555988) and erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). Fluorescent histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes.

Preparation And Storage
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

Antibody Details
515
The 515 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD44. CD44 is an 80-95 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein, also known as Phagocytic glycoprotein-1 (Pgp-1), or Extracellular matrix receptor type III (ECMR-III). CD44 is a member of the hyaladherin family of hyaluronan-binding proteins, with structural similarities to selectins. CD44 is the receptor for hyaluronic acid. CD44 is expressed on leucocytes, erythrocytes, epithelial cells and weakly on platelets. CD44 has functional roles in cell migration, lymphocyte homing and adhesion during hematopoiesis and lymphocyte activation. The 515 monoclonal antibody can reportedly block cellular adhesion to hyaluronic acid.

Format Details
Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
