The FITC Anti-Rat CD44H Antibody (OX-49) is a vital tool for researchers studying CD44H, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling pathways. Derived from rat cells, this antibody is specifically designed for detecting and analyzing CD44H expression in rat samples through techniques such as flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.CD44H is a variant form of the CD44 molecule that is associated with various physiological and pathological processes, including tissue regeneration, inflammation, and cancer metastasis.
By targeting CD44H, researchers can gain valuable insights into the role of this glycoprotein in cell behavior and disease progression. The FITC-conjugated Anti-Rat CD44H Antibody provides high specificity and sensitivity, making it an essential tool for studies focusing on cell biology, immunology, and cancer research.

Background:
CD44 is an 80-95 kD cell surface glycoprotein. It is expressed on all leukocytes, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and mesenchymal cells. It is up-regulated when T cells and B cells are activated. It was reported that CD44 is a valuable marker for memory T cells. CD44 is an adhesion molecule involved in leukocyte adhesion and homing to lymphoid organs. The OX-49 antibody reacts with CD44H (known as CD44s) expressed on most leukocytes, except for a subset of B lymphocytes. The epitope recognized by OX-49 antibody has been mapped to a region on both the standard, CD44s, and the splice variant, CD44v, isoforms of CD44. However it was reported that OX-49 antibody cannot detect the CD44V isoform, possibly due to conformational changes in the epitope.
