About CD37
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins and other transmembrane 4 superfamily proteins. It may play a role in T-cell-B-cell interactions. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About PerCP-Cy5.5
PerCP-Cyanine® 5.5 (PerCP-Cy5.5) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that was originally designed to make the PerCP fluorophore more stable and increase signal intensity. The donor molecule, PerCP can be excited by the 488-nm blue laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, Cy5.5, which emitts light that can be captured with a 695/40 nm bandpass filter. PerCP-Cy5.5 has an excitation peak at 482 nm and an emission peak at 695 nm. There are superior alternatives to PerCP and PerCP-Cy5.5 including BB700, NovaFluor Blue 690 or PerCP-eFluor™ 710
