Specificity and cross reactivity
Human CD138/Syndecan-11 CD138, also known as Syndecan-1, is a transmembrane heparin sulfate proteoglycan that binds type I collagen. The relative molecular mass of CD138 is found to vary between 20-95 kDa due to the presence of a variable number of GAG modifications on each CD138 molecule. This protein appears to mediate binding of cells to the extracellular matrix. Among mature tissues, CD138 is expressed on simple and stratified epithelia, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. 2,3 While stratified keratinocytes express CD138, their malignant transformation suppresses CD138 expression. Wound repair processes alter patterns of CD138 expression. Among hematopoietic cells, CD138 is expressed by immunoglobulin-negative pre-B cells in the bone marrow, immature B cells and by terminally differentiated plasma cells in lymphoid organs. CD138 expression has not been observed on mature, circulating peripheral B lymphocytes, however.4-7 CD138 is also strongly expressed by multiple myeloma-derived cell lines and elevated levels of CD138 are present in the serum of patients with multiple myeloma, a negative prognostic indicator for the disease.8; Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited. This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones.

Test
MBS Monoclonals supplies antibodies that are for research of human proteins. Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.

Properties
This MBS Monoclonals Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) antibody is currently after some BD antibodies the most commonly used fluorescent dye for FACS. When excited at 488 nanometers, FITC has a green emission that's usually collected at 530 nanometers, the FL1 detector of a FACSCalibur or FACScan. FITC has a high quantum yield (efficiency of energy transfer from absorption to emission fluorescence) and approximately half of the absorbed photons are emitted as fluorescent light. For fluorescent microscopy applications, the 1 FITC is seldom used as it photo bleaches rather quickly though in flow cytometry applications, its photo bleaching effects are not observed due to a very brief interaction at the laser intercept. MBS Monoclonals FITC is highly sensitive to pH extremes. Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
