CD162 Rat anti-Mouse, BUV395, Clone: 2PH1, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 2PH1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the N-terminus of CD162 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, PSGL-1), encoded by the Selplg gene
• PSGL-1 is expressed on the cell surface as a homodimer of approximately 230 kDa
• In the mouse, Selpl mRNA is detected in most tissues, with high levels found in hematopoietic cells, brain, and adipose tissue
• Flow cytometric analyses have revealed CD162 expression on bone marrow-derived mast and dendritic cells, splenic leukocytes, platelets, peripheral blood neutrophils, and neutrophil and T-cell lines
• PSGL-1 is a ligand for P-selectin (CD62P) and is involved in leukocyte rolling, the migration of leukocytes into inflamed tissues, and responses to vascular injury
• It is a sialomucin that must be specifically sialylated, fucosylated, and sulfated to bind P-selectin
• There is also evidence that other ligands for PSGL-1 and CD62P may exist
• The 2PH1 antibody is reported to block binding of mouse leukocytes to CD62P, but the 4RA10 antibody (Cat
• No
• 557787) has significantly greater blocking activity.
