• Leukosialin also known as sialophorin or CD43 (cluster of differentiation 43) is a transmembrane cell surface protein that in humans is encoded by the SPN (sialophorin) gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • Structure of the human sialophorin (CD43) gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • The S7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the 115 kDa glycosylated form of CD43 (Ly-48, Leukosialin). (bdbiosciences.com)
  • CD43 (also known as leukosialin and sialophorin) is a surface sialoglycoprotein expressed at high levels on most leukocytes implicated in adhesion, antiadhesion, and activation/proliferation mechanisms. (elsevierpure.com)
  • This antibody has also been used, along with other anti-CD43 MABs, in a Western blot analysis to localize leukosialin epitopes. (absoluteantibody.com)
  • Describes the original use of this antibody, along with other anti-CD43 MAbs, in FC, WB and plate binding assay studies to determine the dimensions of the extracellular part of the leukosialin molecule, and to establish that the antigenic determinants recognized are largely based on linear protein sequences.

  • This antibody recognises rat leukosialin, a major cell-surface sialoglycoprotein of thymocytes and T lymphocytes. (absoluteantibody.com)
  • Sialophorin (leukosialin) is a major sialoglycoprotein on the surface of human T lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and some B lymphocytes, which appears to be important for immune function and may be part of a physiologic ligand-receptor complex involved in T-cell activation.

  • The dimensions of the T lymphocyte glycoprotein leukosialin and identification of linear protein epitopes that can be modified by glycosylation. (absoluteantibody.com)
  • The specificity of the leukosialin epitope is largely determined by linear protein sequence, as indicated by the reaction of this antibody with the extracellular domain of leukosialian expressed in an unglycosylated form in E. coli. (absoluteantibody.com)
