SSEA-1/CD15 plays a role in mediating phagocytosis, bactericidal activity, and chemotaxis. It is present on >95% of granulocytes including neutrophils and eosinophils and to a lesser degree on monocytes. In addition, it is expressed in Reed-Steberg cells and some epithelial cells. SSEA-1/CD15 antibody is very useful in the identification of Hodgkin s disease. CD15 is occasionally expressed in large cell lymphomas of both B and T phenotypes which otherwise have a quite distinct histological appearance.
Formulation
Prediluted in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide; *For IHC use only*
Host
Mouse
Immunogen Region
Purified human neutrophils (FUT4/815) and Myelomonocytic leukemia cells (BRA-4F1) were used as the immunogen for the SSEA-1 antibody cocktail.
Isotype
Mouse IgM, kappa
Species Reactivity
Human, Mouse, Rat
Note
Optimal dilution of the SSEA-1 antibody cocktail should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
