This monoclonal antibody, conjugated with FITC for easy detection, is suitable for flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy applications in both mouse and human samples.CD44 is a widely studied molecule with diverse functions in tissue development, inflammation, and cancer progression. Its expression is often altered in various pathological conditions, making it a valuable marker for identifying and characterizing specific cell populations.
The IM7 antibody specifically targets CD44, allowing for precise detection and analysis of CD44-expressing cells in research areas such as cancer biology, stem cell research, and immunology.With its high specificity and sensitivity, the FITC-conjugated Mouse/Human CD44 Monoclonal Antibody (IM7) from Assay Genie provides researchers with a reliable tool to advance their understanding of CD44 biology and its implications in various physiological and pathological processes.
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 0.1-1 μg/106 cells in 100 μL volume].

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. Thus, CD44 has been reported to be a valuable marker for memory cell subsets. High CD44 expression on Treg cells has been associated with potent suppressive function via high production of IL-10. CD44 is an adhesion molecule involved in leukocyte attachment to and rolling on endothelial cells, homing to peripheral lymphoid organs and to the sites of inflammation, and leukocyte aggregation.
