What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

ALCAM also known as Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule is a protein with a molecular weight of roughly 65-105 kDa due to post-translational modifications. ALCAM expresses in various tissues including the nervous system immune system and endothelial cells. It functions as a cell adhesion molecule and facilitates cell-cell interactions by binding to its ligands like itself and CD6. This interaction plays an important role for maintaining tissue architecture and cell migration.
Biological function summary

The interactions that ALCAM supports are important for processes such as synapse formation and stabilization in the nervous system. ALCAM does not act alone; it participates in complexes with other cell adhesion molecules enhancing signals for tissue development and repair. ALCAM's expression patterns reveal its involvement in leukocyte trafficking and immune responses indicating its importance in maintaining physiological homeostasis.

Pathways

ALCAM plays roles in pathways like the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways which are important for cell survival and proliferation. Through these ALCAM interacts with proteins such as ERK1/2 and AKT. These pathways influence cellular responses to external stimuli highlighting the protein's role in growth and differentiation processes. ALCAM's participation in these pathways links it with cellular responses to stress and growth signals.

ALCAM shows associations with cancer metastasis and autoimmune diseases. In cancer changes in ALCAM expression affect tumor progression and metastasis possibly involving interactions with other adhesion molecules and integrins. In autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis ALCAM may influence disease progression through interactions with lymphocyte markers. Understanding these connections helps in developing potential therapeutic strategies to modulate ALCAM's function in pathological states.
