Description
The B1/35 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD248 which is also known as Endosialin, Tumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1), and CD164 sialomucin-like 1 (CD164L1). CD248 is a heavily glycosylated, single-pass type I transmembrane protein. CD248 belongs to the Group XIV C-Type lectin family that includes CD93 and CD141/thrombomodulin. It is expressed on pericytes and stromal fibroblasts. Although the exact functions of CD248 remain to be determined, its expression is associated with angiogenesis and lymphoid tissue organization during development, as well as, with postnatal inflammation and tumor development and growth.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
4. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
5. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
6. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
