CD15-FITC

01MT18418

VIMC6 recognizes the human CD15 antigen which is expressed on human myelomonocytic cells. It is present on neutrophils, eosinophils, and some monocytes, masked on basophils but not on lymphocytes. The antigen is also expressed on Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells. The CD15 antibody recognizes the carbohydrate structure 3-fucosyl-N-acetyl-lactosamine. This structure is also known as stage specific embryonic antigen 1 (SSEA-1) and a common surface marker for pluripotency on mouse ES and iPS cells. On human cells in contrast, SSEA-1 is expressed only on early differentiating cells. The CD15 antibody r
