CD62L / PE / REA615

Product Details

Description	Clone REA615 recognizes the human CD62L antigen, a 74 kDa single-pass type I membrane protein, which is also known as L-selectin, LECAM-1, or LAM-1. CD62L is a member of the selectin family of cell surface molecules and binds a series of glycoproteins including CD34, GlyCAM-1, and MAdCAM-1. Most hematopoietic cells express CD62L, including peripheral blood B cells, T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, thymocytes, and some myeloid cells from bone marrow. Expression on resting naive, central memory, and some effector memory T cells regulates their migration 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. Disruption of CD62L expression has detrimental effects on T cell migration and immune responses. Antigenic activation in the lymph node leads first to rapid CD62L shedding by protease cleavage and then to transcriptional suppression. \| 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. \| Additional information: Clone REA615 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About CD62L
This gene encodes a cell surface adhesion molecule that belongs to a family of adhesion/homing receptors. The encoded protein contains a C-type lectin-like domain, a calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like domain, and two short complement-like repeats. The gene product is required for binding and subsequent rolling of leucocytes on endothelial cells, facilitating their migration into secondary lymphoid organs and inflammation sites. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with various diseases including immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

About PE
Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
