ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Target description

CD44 antigen (UniProt: P16070; also known as CDw44, Epican, Extracellular matrix receptor III, ECMR-III, GP90 lymphocyte homing/adhesion receptor, HUTCH-I, Heparan sulfate proteoglycan, Hermes antigen, Hyaluronate receptor, Phagocytic glycoprotein 1, PGP-1, CD44) is encoded by the CD44 (also known as LHR, MDU2, MDU3, MIC4) gene (Gene ID: 960) in human. CD44 is a single-pass type I, highly glycosylated membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-20), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 21-649), a transmembrane domain (aa 650-670), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 671-742). Nineteen different isoforms of CD44 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. All isoforms possess a hyaluronic acid (HA)-binding domain in its N-terminal region of the extracellular domain. CD44 expression is observed on all leukocytes, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and mesenchymal cells. It binds to several ligands including hyaluronic acid (HA), Osteopontin, chondroitin, collagen, fibronectin, and serglycin/sulfated proteoglycan. However, the main ligand for CD44 is HA that is expressed by stromal and cancer cells. HA binds the CD44 ligand binding domain and induces conformational changes that allow binding of adaptor proteins or cytoskeletal elements to intracellular domains. This leads to the activation of various signaling pathways leading to cell proliferation, adhesion, migration, and invasion. Overexpression of CD44 has been reported in several cell types and it is considered as an ideal marker for cancer stem cells. Its interaction with appropriate extracellular matrix ligands promotes the migration and invasion processes involved in tumor metastases. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
