Anti-FUT4/CD15 Antibody, clone 1H4 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 4 (UniProt: P22083; also known as ELAM-1 ligand fucosyltransferase, Fucosyltransferase 4, Fucosyltransferase IV, Fuc-TIV, FucT-IV, Galactoside 3-L-fucosyltransferase, CD15) is encoded by the FUT4 (also known as ELFT, FCT3A) gene (Gene ID: 2526) in human. CD15 is a single-pass type II membrane protein of the to the glycosyltransferase 10 family. It contains a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1-147), a transmembrane domain (aa 148-172), and a lumenal domain (aa 173-530). It consists of a trisaccharide with the structure Gal-β(1-4)-(Fuc- (1-3))-GlcNAc and is related to another structure, sialyl-CD15 (NeuNAc- (2-3)-Gal-β(1-4)-(Fuc- (1-3))-GlcNAc; CD15s or sLex, where s refers to sialylated ), which differs only by the addition of a sialic acid linkage to the galactose in the core Lex trisaccharide. CD15 catalyzes alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages involved in the expression of Lewis X/SSEA-1 and VIM-2 antigens. It is shown to be a distinguishing marker for human myeloid cells, and it mediates neutrophil adhesion to dendritic cells. It is also involved in neutrophil functions, such as cell-cell interactions, phagocytosis, stimulation of degranulation, and respiratory burst. It is also considered as an important marker for neoplastic Reed Sternberg cells and can be useful for the diagnosis of Hodgkin s lymphoma. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Clone 1H4 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4/CD15). It targets an epitope within 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
