Gene Information

human ... CD63(967)

Specificity

This antibody reacts with a 53 kDa protein which form a part of the family of tetraspan moieties. The antigen was originally designated as a lysosomal membrane protein characterized as an activation dependent platelet surface antigen. In fact the CD63 antigen has a diverse distribution on the surface and in the cytoplasm of many cell types including lymphoid, myeloid, endothelial cells and melanoma.

Application

Anti-CD63 Antibody, clone RFAC4 is an antibody against CD63 for use in FC, IP, WB, IH, IH(P).
Flow cytometric studies of CD63 expression

Immunoprecipitation

Western blotting of CD63 antigen from solubilized platelet proteins

Suitable for formalin fixed paraffin wax embedded tissue sections. HIER and proteolytic pretreatment may not be necessary. Users should confirm specificity and pretreatment for their particular application.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
