CD65 Antibody, anti-human, APC

01MT17517

Clone VIM8 recognizes the human CD65 antigen, a fucosylated carbohydrate on the cell surface, which is also known as ceramide dodecasaccharide or VIM-2. CD65 is formed by fucosylation of the inner lactosamine unit of α-2,3-sialylated polylactosamine by α-1,3-fucosyltransferase. It is expressed on all myeloid cells during development, highly on granulocytes and weakly on monocytes in peripheral blood. The sialylated form of CD65 (designated CD65s) appears when the progenitor antigen CD34 disappears, suggesting that this sialylated carbohydrate antigen marks a turning point in normal myeloid dif
