anti-CD95 FITC Conjugate
Human CD95 (APO-1/FAS) is a type I cell surface glycoprotein that is strongly upregulated on activated T cells, B cells, NK cells and thymocytes (1). CD95 plays an important role in programmed cell death or apoptosis (2). Apoptosis appears to be a mechanism for regulating the immune response (3, 4).
Isotype: Murine IgG1
Immunogen: Human soluble FAS with the transmembrane region deleted
Specificity: Antibody ANC95.1 reacts with cell surface expressed CD95. This mAb does not induce apoptosis.
