Cutaneous Lymphocyte Antigen Rat anti-Human, Unlabeled, Clone: HECA-452, BD, Rat Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

Reacts with cutaneous lymphocyte associated antigen (CLA), a carbohydrate domain shared by sialyl Lewis[x] (sLe[x]) and sialyl Lewis[a] (sLe[a]) antigens. It serves as the ligand for selectins including CD62E (ELAM-1) and CD62L (LECAM-1). CLA is expressed on lymphocytes in the skin on high endothelium. In peripheral blood, it is expressed on a small subset of lympocytes and all monocytes and granulocytes. It has been suggested that CLA plays a role in supporting lymphocyte migration to extravascular tissue during inflammation. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
