anti-human CD36, FITC-conjugated, Clone TR9

Description
CD36 (fatty acid translocase, FAT) is an 88 kDa ditopic glycosylated protein that belongs to the class B family of scavenger receptors. CD36 is expressed by most resting marginal zone B cells but not by follicular and B1 B cells, and it is rapidly induced on Follicular B cells in vitro upon TLR and CD40 stimulation. CD36 does not affect the development of B cells, but modulates both primary and secondary antibody response. Similarly to glucose transporter GLUT4, CD36 is translocated from intracellular pools to the plasma membrane following cell stimulation by insulin. In mouse, CD36 is responsible for gustatory perception of long chain fatty acids.

Properties
The monoclonal antibody ADG5023/L (clone TR9) is a murine monoclonal antibody, subclass IgG₁. The antibody has been purified from ascites by protein­-A chromatography, Purity > 95% (by SDS-­PAGE).
The antibody reacts with CD36 (GPIIIb), a 85 kDa integral membrane glycoprotein expressed on platelets, macrophages, endothelial cells, early erythroid cells and megakaryocytes. The antibody TR9 cross- blocks binding of FITC-­labeled standard antibody OKM5. Anti­-CD36 antibodies inhibit adhesive functions (e.g. adherence of infected erythrocytes to target cells)

Conjugation
The purified antibody is conjugated with Fluorescein­isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions. The reagent is adjusted for direct use. No reconstitution is necessary.

Presentation
Vial containing 500 µl (ADG5023) or 2 ml (ADG5023L) of purified antibody in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide (pH 7.2). The IgG concentration is 1 mg/ml. Spin the vial briefly before opening.

Storage and Stability
Store the antibody at 4°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to light. The reagent is stable until the expiry date stated on the vial label.
