REA747 recognizes the human CD45 antigen, a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family, also known as the leukocyte common antigen (LCA). The CD45 molecule a type I transmembrane protein which is required for T and B cell activation and involved in cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. CD45 is expressed in different isoforms (CD45RA, CD45RB, CD45RC, CD45RAB, CD45RAC, CD45RBC, CD45RO, CD45R (ABC)) depending on the differentiation status of the cell. The CD45 antibody recognizes a common epitope of all CD45 isoforms. Additional information: Clone REA747 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
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.
