anti-CDw75 mouse monoclonal, LN-1, purified

LN-1 reacts with CDw75, a neuraminidase sensitive cell surface sialoglycan which is present on the cell membrane and cytoplasm of germininal center B-cells and derived lymphomas. CDw75 has a function in cell adhesion and is the ligand for CD22. LN-1 reacts with RBC precursors in bone marrow, ductal and ciliated epithelial cells of kidney, breast, prostate, pancreas, lung, and with gioblastomas and astrocytoma’s, and also Reed Sternberg cells in Hodgkin’s disease. Positive control: HeLa or Daudi cells. Germinal center B-cell in a lymph node or tonsil. Use LN-1’s ability to stain the surface of erythrocytes as an internal positive control.
