Anti-CD13 (Aminopeptidase N) (Biotin) Monoclonal Antibody

Recognizes the equine CD13 cell surfaceantigen, also known as Aminopeptidase N, a single-pass type II membrane protein belonging to the peptidase N family with a molecular weight of between 150-170kD.||CD13 is widely expressed by a range of cell types including all blood neutrophils, basophils, monocytes, fibroblasts, kidney epithelial cells, endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells, but not by T or B cells. It is involved in a broad spectrum of biological processes and is believed to be linked to a number of disease states including tumor invasion (Saiki et al. 1993).||Mouse anti Horse CD13 antibody, may be used for differentiating myeloid and lymphoid linage cells in tumors of the haematopoietic system.||Applications: |Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry (Not Tested), Immunoprecipitation, and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.||Recommended Dilution:|Flow Cytometry (Not Tested): 1:25-1:200|Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.||Storage and Stability:|Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks.
