ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Specificity

Clone 1H4 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4/CD15). It targets an epitope within 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4/CD15).

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis (WB): A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected FUT4/CD15 in Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) lysate.

Tested Applications

Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected FUT4/CD15 in Human spleen tissue sections.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected FUT4/CD15 in Human spleen tissue sections.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Target description

Alpha-(1,3)-fucosyltransferase 4 (UniProt: P22083; also known as ELAM-1 ligand fucosyltransferase, Fucosyltransferase 4, Fucosyltransferase IV, Fuc-TIV, FucT-IV, Galactoside 3-L-fucosyltransferase, CD15) is encoded by the FUT4 (also known as ELFT, FCT3A) gene (Gene ID: 2526) in human. CD15 is a single-pass type II membrane protein of the to the glycosyltransferase 10 family. It contains a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1-147), a transmembrane domain (aa 148-172), and a lumenal domain (aa 173-530). It consists of a trisaccharide with the structure Gal-β(1-4)-(Fuc- (1-3))-GlcNAc and is related to another structure, sialyl-CD15 (NeuNAc- (2-3)-Gal-β(1-4)-(Fuc- (1-3))-GlcNAc; CD15s or sLex, where s refers to sialylated ), which differs only by the addition of a sialic acid linkage to the galactose in the core Lex trisaccharide. CD15 catalyzes alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages involved in the expression of Lewis X/SSEA-1 and VIM-2 antigens. It is shown to be a distinguishing marker for human myeloid cells, and it mediates neutrophil adhesion to dendritic cells. It is also involved in neutrophil functions, such as cell-cell interactions, phagocytosis, stimulation of degranulation, and respiratory burst. It is also considered as an important marker for neoplastic Reed Sternberg cells and can be useful for the diagnosis of Hodgkin s lymphoma. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Reconstitution

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. 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 filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
