INTRODUCTION
CD43 is a key sialoglycoprotein located in the surface of T lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, thymocytes and some B lymphocytes. CD43 is a part of a physiologic ligand-receptor complex which participates in T-cell activation. Throughout T-cell activation, CD43 is actively taken out from the T-cell-APC (antigen-presenting cell) contact site, signifying CD43 has a negative regulatory role in adaptive immune response.
DESCRIPTION
CD43 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 257 amino acids (20-253a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 25.8kDa.
CD43 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
