Product Specific Information

• Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed):
  Incubate antibody for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA (pH 9.0) for 45 minutes at 95°C, followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Target Information

CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin) is a transmembrane mucin-like protein with a high negative charge, expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells.
It contributes to a repulsive barrier that interferes with cellular adhesion, but can also promote leukocyte aggregation.
By interacting with actin-binding proteins ezrin and moesin, CD43 regulates T-cell morphology and cell-cell interactions during lymphocyte trafficking.
CD43 signaling enhances LFA-1 adhesiveness while counteracting LFA-1 induction via other receptors.
Expression of CD43 induces the tumor suppressor p53, but in the absence of p53 and ARF, it promotes tumor proliferation and viability.
CD43 is an important modulator of leukocyte functions.
Diseases associated with CD43 dysfunction include Wiscott-Aldrich Syndrome and Adenoid Basal Cell Carcinoma.
