This antibody recognizes a 112kD molecule expressed on the cell surface of human fibroblasts and epithelial cells. In peripheral blood the antibody stains myeloid cells and a very small number of lymphocytes.

Studies upon the antigen have shown it to be sensitive to SDS, but resistant to trypsin, tunicamycin and collagenase.

In immunohistological studies the antibody has also been found to bind to epithelium, myoepthelium, smooth muscle and some leucocytes.

This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on the KG1 cell line.
