Preparation and Storage
Store vials at 2°C–8°C. Conjugated forms should not be frozen. Protect from exposure to light. Each reagent is stable until the expiration date shown on the bottle label when stored as directed.
The CD56 antibody, clone NCAM16.2, is derived from the hybridization of P3-X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells isolated from BALB/c mice immunized with immunoaffinity-enriched NCAM from detergent extracts of adult human brain. The CD56 antibody recognizes a heavily glycosylated 140-kilodalton (kDa) isoform of NCAM, a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. The CD56 antibody also recognizes 180-kDa and 120-kDa isoforms of NCAM found in neurons and muscle, respectively.
