CD62L (L-Selectin) (CD62L/1588), CF568 conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

Selectins, also designated CD62 antigens, comprise a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins involved in mediating cellular interactions with leukocytes. L-Selectin (also designated LECAM-1 or CD62L) is expressed on the majority of B and naive T cells and on most monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils. L-Selectin interacts with specific carbohydrates expressed by activated endothelial cells. P-Selectin (also designated GMP-140 or CD62P), expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells, and E-Selectin (also designated ELMA-1 or CD62E), expressed on endothelial cells, exhibit overlapping ligand specificities. Both recognize sialyl-Le (x) as a ligand and bind to specific carbohydrates on neutrophils and monocytes. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
