Anti-Mouse CD44 (IM7) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin

Product Specifications

Background

CD44 is a 80-95 kD glycoprotein also known as Hermes, Pgp1, H-CAM, or HUTCH. It is expressed on all leukocytes, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and mesenchymal cells. As B and T cells become activated or progress to the memory stage, CD44 expression increases from low or mid levels to high levels. Clone IM7 antibody has been shown to neutralize CD44 in vivo
