Immunogen	Rat thymocyte membrane preparation.
Specificity	This CD43 monoclonal antibody recognizes a monomorphic determinant expressed on Rat thymocytes, polymorphonuclear cells, plasma cells and stem cells, but not B lymphocytes or pre-B cells (1,3). This antibody is useful for labelling T but not B lymphocytes and in studies on stem cells since pre-B cells are not labelled while the multipotential stem cell is. It may also be used in analysis of NK cells (5) and in molecular studies of the sialoglycoprotein which it recognizes.
Formulation	PBS containing 0.02% Sodium Azide as preservative and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml. Label: Biotin State: Liquid purified IgG fraction
Concentration	lot specific
Conjugation	Biotin
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
Database Link	UniProt ID P13838
Background	The antigen is a heavily glycosylated glycoprotein of apparent molecular weight 95 kDa and has a high content of Olinked carbohydrate structures (3). This major glycoprotein of thymocytes and T lymphocytes is referred to by several names including leukocyte sialoglycoprotein and leukosialin. The carbohydrate structures of leukosialin account for approximately 60% of its weight (2). On thymocytes, this glycoprotein is the main target for binding of peanut lectin (4).
Synonyms	Leukocyte sialoglycoprotein, Sialophorin, Galactoglycoprotein, SPN
