CD56 Antibody [clone CDLA56] (V7149)

Description

CD56/NCAM is a cell adhesion protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is involved in cell-to-cell interactions as well as cell-matrix interactions during development and differentiation. CD56 has been shown to be involved in development of the nervous system, and for cells involved in the expansion of T cells and dendritic cells which play an important role in immune surveillance.

Application Notes

Titering of the CD56 antibody may be required for optimal performance.

1. FFPE testing requires sections to be boiled in pH6 10mM citrate buffer for 10-20 minutes, followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes, prior to staining.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the CD56 antibody.

Storage

Store the CD56 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
