Anti-NG2 Alexa Fluor(r) 647

7

The mouse monoclonal antibody 7.1 recognizes an extracellular epitope of NG2, the melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 of Mw approximately 220-300 kDa.

Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 4 microl reagent / 100 microl of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

NG2 / chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 is expressed on glial cell populations, but not on normal hepatopoietic cells. It is an integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expressed by human malignant melanoma cells, where it plays role in stabilizing cell-substratum interactions during early events of melanoma cell spreading on endothelial basement membranes, and supports signaling pathways important for tumor invasion and growth. NG2 also serves as an AML blast tumor marker associated with poor prognosis.
