Anti-Human CD63 (MEM-259) ColorWheel® Dye-Ready mAb CWA-1034-25UL

Specificity
Clone MEM-259 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects human CD63.
HPB-Acute lymphocytic leukemia cells.
Anti-Human CD63 (MEM-259) ColorWheel<® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any Colorwheel® antibody with any Colorwheel® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each Colorwheel® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise
Quality Control Testing:
Evaluated by Flow Cytometry in K562 cells.
Flow Cytometry Analysis: Staining of one million human K562 cells was performed using 5 µL of a 1:1 mixture of Cat. No. CWA-1034, Anti-Human CD63 (MEM-259) Colorwheel® Dye-Ready mAb and Cat. No. CWD-PE Colorwheel® activated Phycoerythrin (PE) Dye or an equivalent amount of PE-conjugated Mouse IgG1 Isotype Control.
Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
Target description
CD63 antigen (UniProt: P08962; also known as Granulophysin, Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 3, LAMP-3, Melanoma-associated antigen ME491, OMA81H, Ocular melanoma-associated antigen, Tetraspanin-30, Tspan-30, CD63) is encoded by the CD63 (also known as MLA1, TSPAN30) gene (Gene ID: 967) in human. CD63 is a multi-pass membrane protein of the tetraspan family that is found on endosome, lysosome, and plasma membranes. CD63 has been detected in platelets, dysplastic nevi benign moles, radial growth phase primary melanomas, hematopoietic cells, and in tissue macrophages. In melanoma cells, it is involved in their motility and adhesion. CD63 also plays a role in the adhesion of leukocytes onto endothelial cells. It is reported to play a role in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin signaling, leading to the activation of AKT, FAK/PTK2 and MAP kinases and promote cell survival, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, spreading and migration. CD63 is a highly N-glycosylated protein with three asparagine glycosylation sites (aa 130, 150, 172) and its ribophorin II (RPN2)-mediated glycosylation has been linked to breast cancer. Overexpression of CD63 has been observed in esophageal cancer that is negatively correlated with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis. Lack of expression of CD63 in platelets has been observed in a patient with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS), an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding due to platelet storage pool deficiency, and lysosomal storage defects.

Physical form
Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.
Reconstitution
1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
Storage and Stability
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of PBS. Protect from light.
