| Chimeric Use Statement: | This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. |
| Specificity Statement: | This antibody is specific for CD44vRA, which is a CD44 derived from rheumatoid arthritis patients. CD44vRA contains an extra alanine. At higher concentration it will also bind to other isoforms of CD44. CD44 is cell-surface receptor that plays a role in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration, helping them to sense and respond to changes in the tissue microenvironment. |
| Application Notes: | This antibody is recommended for the detection of CD44 from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (CD44vRA). Transwell migration assay was preformed to assess the specificity of the mouse version of this antibody. The antibody prevented namalwa-CD44vRA cells from crossing but did not prevent namalwa cells transfected with other forms of CD4 from crossing (US2011207678). To test the ability of this antibody to bind to CD44vRA, flowcytometry was preformed on Namalwa cells expressing different isoforms of CD44 (US2011207678). |
