BD, 567710, Biotin Mouse Anti-Human CD15 HI98 (also known as HIM1)

The HI98 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine (3-FAL), a 220 kDa carbohydrate structure, also called X-hapten, SSEA-1, CD15 or Lewis X. This structure is found on a variety of cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins. 3-FAL is expressed on >95% of granulocytes, including neutrophils and eosinophils, and to a varying degree on monocytes, but not on lymphocytes or basophils. CD15 plays a role in mediating phagocytosis, bactericidal activity and chemotaxis. This antibody is also suitable for staining formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections without pretreatment. Since the Abs are recognizing a carbohydrate epitope (3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine) they also should work across species and not only for human.

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with biotin under optimum conditions, and unreacted biotin was removed.
1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
4. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
