General description

The CD44 (cell-surface glycoprotein) gene with 20 exons is mapped to human chromosome 11p13. The gene codes for a transmembrane glycoprotein.
The antibody MEM-85 reacts with both cell surface-expressed and soluble form of CD44 antigen (Phagocyte glycoprotein 1), a 80-95 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein (hyaladherin family) present on the most of cells and tissues (leukocytes, endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, etc.); it is negative on platelets and hepatocytes.

Immunogen

Leukocytes of a patient suffering from LGL Type Leukaemia.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-CD44-FITC antibody produced in mouse has been used as a reagent to distinguish HeLa (cancer) cells from chondrocyte (normal) cells.
The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CD44 (cell-surface glycoprotein) is involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. It plays an important role in lymphocyte homing and lymphocyte activation. It also acts as a metastasis suppressor gene for prostatic cancer. Overexpression of CD44 leads to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). CD44 inhibits macrophage multinucleation by interacting with its ligands, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfates and osteopontin. 100kDa form of CD44, facilitates the binding of poliovirus to HeLa cells. In addition, it also implicated in the infection of mononuclear phagocytes by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Colorectal cancers (CRCs) are a critical health issue worldwide. Cancer stem cell (CSC) lineages are associated with tumour transformation, progression, and malignant transformation. However, how lineages are transformed and how chemoresistance is acquired by CRCs remain largely unknown. In this
