E-selectin Monoclonal Antibody (UZ4), Invitrogen™

Descripción

MA1-06504 detects E-selectin in human and mouse samples. MA1-06504 has sucessfully been used in Western blotting, flow cytometry, immunoprecipitation and IF. This antibody is not suitable for use in IHC on frozen tissue sections. The MA1-06504 immunogen is LPS-activated mLEND1 cells expressing E-selectin at their cell surface. Store at 4oC short term. For extended storage aliquot and store at -20oC or below.

Leukocytes adhere to the blood vessel endothelium during extravasation in postcapillary venules of lymph nodes. In addition, leukocyte adhesion occurs in the capillaries and small venules at any site in the body after onset of inflammation. This response is immediate and involves a cascade of adhesion receptors. At the endothelial surface members of the selectin and immunoglobulin superfamilies participate in this cascade. Selectins are C-type cell surface lectins that play a role in leukocyte adhesion to the blood vessel wall endothelium. E-selectin (CD62E) is an endothelial cell specific selectin that is expressed only after activation with proinflammatory cytokines. In vitro experiments have shown that IL-1, TNFalpha and bacterial wall components like lipopolysaccharides induce the transcription of E-selectin in a NFkB dependent signaling cascade. E-selectin has been associated with blood vessel endothelium in diverse inflammatory situations.
