Specificity

This monoclonal antibody reacts with an extracellular domain (close to transmembrane) of CD56/NCAM. Three isoforms of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) are produced by differential splicing of the RNA transcript from a single gene. The 135kDa isoform is the basic molecule, which is glycosylated or sialylated to produce the mature species. Anti-CD56 recognizes two proteins of the neural cell adhesion molecule, the basic molecule expressed on most neuroectodermally derived tissues and neoplasms (e.g. retinoblastoma, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, neuroblastomas, and small cell carcinomas). It is also expressed on some mesodermally derived tumors (rhabdomyosarcoma). Anti-CD56 plays an important role in the diagnosis of nodal and nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas.

Application Notes
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
In Simple Western only 10 - 15 ul of the recommended dilution is used per data point. Separated by Size.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: NCAM-1/CD56

CD56, a 175-220KDa glycoprotein, is a member of the Ig super family. It is expressed as three major isoforms and consists of five Ig-like domains and two Fibronectin-type III domains in the extracellular region. The 135kDa isoform is the basic molecule which is glycosylated or sialylated to produce the mature species. CD56 is widely expressed in nervous system, on NK cells and a specific set of Tcells. CD56+ NK cells and Tcells are unique in their ability to mediate cell-mediated cytotoxicity against certain tumor cell targets without MHC restriction. Other physiological functions of CD56 include mediating cell adhesion through homophilic and heterophilic interaction and activating intracellular signaling pathways resulting in neutrite extension and fasciculation, migration and synapses formation in brain. CD56 is also vital for neuronal development and plasticity in adult brain. It is used as a tumor marker in various cancers such as NK lymphomas and Merkel cell carcinoma. NCAM is expressed on most neuroectodermal derived lines, tissues, and neoplasms such as retinoblastoma, medulloblastoma, astrocytoma, and neuroblastoma. It is also expressed on some mesodermally derived tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma and also on natural killer cells.
