Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin) is a transmembrane mucin-like protein with high negative charge, expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells. CD43 contributes to a repulsive barrier that interferes with cellular adhesion, however, in certain cases also promotes leukocyte aggregation. By interaction with actin-binding proteins ezrin and moesin CD43 plays a regulatory role in remodeling T-cell morphology and regulates cell-cell interactions during lymphocyte traffic. CD43 signaling both enhances LFA-1 adhesiveness and counteracts LFA-1 induction via other receptors. Expression of CD43 causes induction of functionally active tumour suppressor p53 protein, but in case of p53 and ARF defficiency CD43 promotes tumour proliferation and viability. It appears to be an important modulator of leukocyte functions.

CD43, also known as leukosialin or sialophorin, is a transmembrane mucin-like protein characterized by a high negative charge. It is expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells, excluding resting B lymphocytes. CD43 serves both adhesive and anti-adhesive functions, contributing to a repulsive barrier that can interfere with cellular adhesion while also promoting leukocyte aggregation in certain contexts. CD43 is involved in the activation of T cells, B cells, NK cells, and monocytes. Its expression decreases upon activation due to proteolytic processing. The counter-receptor for CD43 is CD169/SIGLEC-1, which is expressed on macrophages. CD43 interacts with actin-binding proteins ezrin and moesin, playing a regulatory role in remodeling T-cell morphology and regulating cell-cell interactions during lymphocyte traffic. It enhances LFA-1 adhesiveness while counteracting LFA-1 induction via other receptors. CD43 signaling induces the functionally active tumor suppressor p53 protein, but in cases of p53 and ARF deficiency, it can promote tumor proliferation and viability. CD43 is an important modulator of leukocyte functions, with dysfunctions associated with diseases such as Wiscott-Aldrich Syndrome and Adenoid Basal Cell Carcinoma.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.
