In peripheral blood the antibody stains myeloid cells and a very small number of lymphocytes. Studies upon the antigen have shown it to be sensitive to SDS, but resistant to trypsin, tunicamycin and collagenase. In immunohistological studies the antibody has also been found to bind to epithelium, myoepthelium, smooth muscle and some leukocytes. F4213-30B has been shown to be useful as a cell membrane marker to characterize chondrocyte differentiation
giving a positive reaction with dedifferentiated human chondrocytes and negative with differentiated chondrocytes.
