Presentation: PBS, 15 mM sodium azide, approx., pH 7.4.
Target Species: Human
Host Species: Mouse
Specificity: Recognizes neuraminidase-sensitive epitope on CD43 (Leukosialin), a 95-135 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein (mucin-type) which is involved in lymphocyte activation. CD43 is expressed by platelets and at high levels on the surface of all leukocytes; it is negative on resting B lymphocytes and erythrocytes.
