CD100 Monoclonal / FITC / REA322

Product Details

Description	Clone REA322 recognizes the mouse CD100 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein which is also known as semaphorin 4D (Sema4D). CD100 is strongly expressed in lymphoid tissues, especially in the thymus, as well as in the nervous tissues. It is also overexpressed by some malignancies and plays a role in tumor-induced angiogenesis similar to vascular endothelial growth factor. CD100 is a member of a family of transmembrane and secreted proteins that have been shown to act through its receptor plexin-B1 to regulate axon growth cone guidance, lymphocyte activation, and bone density. It has been shown to interact with the B cell coreceptor CD72 for enhancing B cell receptor signaling. \| \| Additional information: Clone REA322 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. \|

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
