Myeloid Cell Marker Antibody

The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Myeloid cell marker antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

This antibody recognizes a 183kDa protein with DNA-binding characteristics, which is identified as a myeloid cell specific antigen. Clone BM-1 antibody reacts with myeloid precursor cells and granulocytes in bone marrow. Its antigen appears to be restricted to M2 and M3 acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) subtypes. This type of marker is useful in the identification of different levels of cellular differentiation. BM-1 and BM-2 antibodies react with early precursor and mature forms of human myeloid cells. This mAb is useful in the identification of myelogenous leukemias, distinguishing granulocytic sarcomas from lymphoid malignancies and also in the study of differentiation and transformation of human myeloid cells. The biological function of the marker protein is not clear, although it has been proposed that it may play a role in cell differentiation.
