- MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73,000. CD56, a 175-220KD glycoprotein, is a member of the Ig super family. It is expressed as three major isoforms and consists of five Ig-like domains and two Fibronectin-type III domains in the extracellular region. The 135kD isoform is the basic molecule which is glycosylated or sialylated to produce the mature species. CD56 is widely expressed in nervous system, on NK cells and a specific set of Tcells. CD56+ NK cells and Tcells are unique in their ability to mediate cell-mediated cytotoxicity against certain tumor cell targets without MHC restriction. Other physiological functions of CD56 include mediating cell adhesion through homophilic and heterophilic interaction and activating intracellular signaling pathways resulting in neutrite extension and fasciculation, migration and synapses formation in brain. CD56 is also vital for neuronal development and plasticity in adult brain. It is used as a tumor marker in various cancers such as NK lymphomas and Merkel cell carcinoma. NCAM is expressed on most neuroectodermal derived lines, tissues, and neoplasms such as retinoblastoma, medulloblastoma, astrocytoma, and neuroblastoma. It is also expressed on some mesodermally derived tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma and also on natural killer cells. Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA, Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): Requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris, 1mM EDTA pH 9.0, for 45 minutes at 95°C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Cerebellum, Pancreas, Neuroblastoma Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™490 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
