CD41a Mouse anti-Human, BB515, Clone: HI98, BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The HIP8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the α -chain of CD41. CD41 is also known as Integrin α IIb or Platelet GPIIb. The calcium-dependent complex of CD41 and CD61 ( β 3 integrin or GPIIIa) is normally expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. The CD41/CD61 complex is the receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin and von Willebrand factor, and mediates platelet adhesion and aggregation. CD41 (clone HIP8) completely inhibits ADP-, epinephrine-, and collagen-induced platelet activation, and partially inhibits ristocetin- and thrombin-induced platelet activation. This antibody is useful in the morphological and physiological studies of platelets and megakaryocytes.
