The CD138 antibody, clone MI15, is derived from the hybridization of SP2/0 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells isolated from BALB/c mice immunized with human cell line 8266.
The CD138 antibody recognizes syndecan-1, a member of the syndecan family of transmembrane heparin sulfate proteoglycans whose main functions are to modulate ligand-dependent activation of primary signaling receptors at the cell surface. Syndecan-1 exhibits molecular polymorphism| its core protein is a single-chain molecule of 70 to 75 kilodaltons (kDa), and its isoforms vary in molecular weight up to approximately 400 kDa.
