Cluster of differentiation 15 (CD15), also known as fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4)/ Lewis x blood group antigen, is encoded by the gene mapped to long arm of human chromosome 11q21. It is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues such as gastrointestinal tract, brain and leukocytes.
The antibody MEM-158 reacts with CD15, a cell membrane molecule 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine (3-FAL) strongly expressed on granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells; it is also present on Langerhans cells and some myeloid precursors cells.
Immunogen
Human granulocytes
Application
The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of sample.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cluster of differentiation 15 (CD15)/fucosyltransferase 4 catalyzes the synthesis of Lex on the surface of the proliferating cells, in organ buds progressing in mesenchyma, during human embryogenesis. Overexpression of the gene has been associated with development of various type of cancers such as colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer and lung adenocarcinoma. siRNAs of FUT1/4 can be used as a potent therapeutic agent in human LeY-expressing cancers.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by the production of ANCAs and systemic necrotizing vasculitis in small vessels. Disordered regulation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is critically involved in the pathogenesis of AAV. NETs are web-like DNA decorated

Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils (TINs) indicate poor prognosis for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Activated neutrophils can generate neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Little is known about the presence and prognostic significance of tumor-infiltrating NETs in PDAC. This study enrolled 317 patients
The gene encoding myeloid alpha-3-fucosyl-transferase (FUT4) is located between D1 1S388 and D11S919 on 11q21.

Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) are pathologically activated neutrophils that are crucial for the regulation of immune responses in cancer. These cells contribute to the failure of cancer therapies and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Despite recent advances in
To better understand the functional state of circulating neutrophils in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) for planning future clinical trials. We analyzed by flow cytometry activation state of circulating neutrophils and the distribution of neutrophil peripheral subsets in 41 patients
