Leica Biosystems 7ml CD138 Bond RTU Primary
Supplier: Leica Biosystems PA0088U
Antigen BackgroundThe CD138 molecule is a transmembrane heparan sulphate glycoprotein expressed at distinct stages of differentiation in normal lymphoid cells such as pre-B cells, immature B cells and Ig-producing plasma cells as well as being expressed in stratified and simple epithelia. The loss of CD138 expression from atypical cells is reported to be an early event during cervical carcinogenesis whereas CD138 antigen expression shows a close association with preserved epithelial morphology and differentiation; however, the major utility of CD138 as a marker in immunohistochemistry is the quantification of plasma cells.DisclaimerCD138 (Syndecan 1) is recommended for the detection of specific antigens of interest in normal and neoplastic tissues, as an adjunct to conventional histopathology using non-immunologic histochemical stains.
