145/15 recognizes the human CD62L antigen, a 74 kDa glycoprotein and a member of the selectin family of cell surface molecules. CD62L is also known as L-selectin, LECAM-1, or LAM-1 and binds a series of glycoproteins including CD34, GlyCAM-1, and MAdCAM-1. CD62L is important for homing of naive lymphocytes via endothelial venules to peripheral lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches. The CD62L antigen also contributes to the recruitment of leukocytes from the blood to areas of inflammation. Most hematopoietic cells express CD62L, including many peripheral blood B cells, T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and some myeloid cells from bone marrow, and thymocytes. CD62L is continuously endoproteolytically cleaved from the cell surface neutrophils and lymphocytes (shedding). Proteolysis is accelerated, for example, after antigenic activation of T cells. Always use fresh material for immunofluorescent staining of CD62L+ cells. For optimal results, the cells should not be older than 8–12 hours. Keep cells continuously cold. CD62L-expression may be rapidly lost due to shedding.
An antibody, specific receptor protein, ligand, nucleic acid sequence (e.g., primer, probe) or similar reagent, which through specific binding or chemical reaction with an intended target, is used to identify or quantify a chemical substance in a biological specimen for the development of a laboratory developed test (LDT) or commercial in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVD). Commonly referred to as an analyte specific reagent (ASR), it is neither labelled with instructions for use nor diagnostic or performance claims.
