CD45 belongs to a family of heavily glycosylated, high molecular weight transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on all cells of haematopoietic origin. Structurally heterogeneous, CD45 consists of a family of eight isoforms ranging from 180,000 to 220,000 MW generated by alternative splicing of three exons differentially expressed on subpopulation of lymphocytes. CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase activity plays a central role in T-cell activation. CD45 plays an important role in signal transduction inhibition or upregulation of various immunological functions,
Hybridoma: Mouse SP2/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with a recombinant human CD45 protein.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blotting. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blotting: 1:1000-1:2000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
