Anti-CD44 [BU75] & [BU93]
Applications: FACS IHC IF IP WB
Reactivity: Human
PMIDs: Leucocyte Typing IV, (1989), Leucocyte Typing V, (1995), Leucocyte Typing VII, (2002)
The CD44 antigen is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in cell to cell and cell-matrix interactions, cell adhesion and migration, which it achieves through its affinity for hyaluronic acid (HA) and possibly also through its affinity for other ligands such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases.

CD45 is a transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase that is present on all leukocytes. CD45RA is an isoform of the CD45 complex which is selectively expressed on B cells.

Anti-CD55 [BU84] & [BU97]
Applications: IHC
Reactivity: Human 
PMIDs: Leucocyte Typing VI, (1998), 9737663, 1905057
CD55 regulates the complement system on the cell surface. It recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that are created during classical complement pathway and alternative complement pathway activation and indirectly blocks the formation of the membrane attack complex.

PMIDs: 25019613, 16378996
MHC Class I is a heterodimeric protein, consisting of a heavy and light chain. Class I molecules are expressed by most haematopoietic cells and play a central role in the immune response.
