BD, 347943, FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD44 L178

The CD44 antibody, clone L178, is derived from hybridization of Sp2/0 myeloma mouse cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with TCR-γ/δ+ thymocytes.The CD44 (Leu-44) antibody recognizes a cell-surface glycoprotein that exists in a variety of isoforms. It is synthesized as a molecule with a molecular weight of 37 kilodaltons (kDa). Upon glycosylation, it is converted to an 80- to 95-kDa form. Alternatively, a 180- to 200-kDa form results from the addition of chondroitin sulfate.
