anti-CD56 Purified (with Antibiotics)
Human CD56 is an adhesion molecule from the Ig superfamily which is restricted to NK cells in the immune system. It is believed that NK cells form a first line of defense against tumor cells and cells infected with bacteria and viruses. Antibody ERIC-1 recognizes a stem region epitope of the CD56 molecule(4).
Isotype: Murine IgG1 kappa
Immunogen: Human retinoblastoma tumor tissue, membrane fraction (1)
Specificity: Antibody ERIC-1 recognizes the CD56 molecule found on NK cells.
