APC Anti-Mouse CD105 Antibody (MJ7/18)

CD105 is a 90 kD homodimeric type I integral membrane glycoprotein, also known as endoglin. It is expressed on endothelial cells (especially on angiogenic endothelial cells) and upregulated by hypoxia, activated monocytes, macrophages, bone marrow stromal cells, and some cytotrophoblasts. CD105 is a receptor for TGF-β1, TGF-β3 and modulates TGF-β signaling by interacting with TGF-β receptors I and/or II. CD105 also binds other growth factors such as actvin A, BMP-2, and BMP-7. CD105 has been show to be a useful marker for identifying proliferating endothelium involved in tumor angiogenesis and can be used for tumor imaging and prognosis, and has therapeutic potential for some solid tumors and other angiogenic diseases.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use. We suggest each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results [The recommended concentration is 0.1-1μg/10⁶ cells in 100 μL volume].

APC is designed to be excited by the Red (627-640 nm) laser and detected using an optical filter centered near 660 nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter) .
