Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human esophageal carcinoma tissue sections labeling CD44 with Purified ab101531 at 1/100 dilution (1.03 µg/ml). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed Heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. Rabbit specific IHC polymer detection kit HRP/DAB (ab209101) was used as the secondary antibody. Negative control : PBS instead of the primary antibody. Hematoxylin was used as a counterstain.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab101531)

Western blot - Anti-CD44 antibody [SP37] - BSA and Azide free (AB236436)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-CD44 antibody [SP37] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab101531 was shown to bind specifically to CD44. A band was observed at 75-80 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CD44 knockout cell line ab262515 (knockout cell lysate ab263938). To generate this image, wild-type and CD44 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

ab101531 was shown to react with CD44 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when CD44 knockout sample was used. Wild-type HeLa and CD44 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab101531 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively.

Target data

The protein expressed by gene CD44 functions as a cell-surface receptor involved in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion, and migration, allowing cells to detect and react to changes in their tissue microenvironment. It is implicated in numerous cellular processes, including the activation, recirculation, and homing of T-lymphocytes, hematopoiesis, inflammation, and the response to bacterial infection. Through its ectodomain, CD44 interacts with extracellular matrix components like hyaluronan, collagen, growth factors, cytokines, and proteases, serving as a platform for signal transduction by forming protein complexes with receptor kinases and membrane proteases via its cytoplasmic domain. Effectors such as PKN2, the RhoGTPases RAC1 and RHOA, Rho-kinases, and phospholipase C coordinate signaling pathways that promote calcium mobilization and actin-mediated cytoskeleton reorganization crucial for cell migration and adhesion. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
