Anti-Human SUSD2 PE (Clone : W5C5)

SUSD2 (sushi domain containing protein 2) is a type I transmembrane protein, that serves as an important marker of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem-like cells (bone marrow stromal cells) . These pluripotent cells are important for techniques of autologous cell therapy, and can be collected from e.g. endometrium, or palatine tonsil. SUSD2 seems to be a tumor supresor, and is down-regulated in colon cancer tissues, whereas it is highly expressed e.g. in breast cancer. Specificity : The mouse monoclonal antibody W5C5 recognizes an extracellular epitope of SUSD2, a type I transmembrane protein expressed on mesenchymal stem-like cells. This antibody selectively binds to a MSCs in both bone marrow and endometrium or tonsil, and can be used for their identification and isolation.
