Mouse anti Pig CD172a:FITC

Description:

Mouse anti pig CD172a, clone BL1H7 recognizes porcine CD172a, a member of the signal regulatory protein (SIRP) family.

Mouse anti pig CD172a, clone BL1H7 was originally clustered as SWC3 at the Third International Swine Cluster of Differentiation Workshop. CD172a is expressed on monocyte derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) also conventional (cDCs), plasmacytoid (pDCs) DCs and blood DCs. Mouse anti pig CD172a, clone BL1H7 immunoprecipitates a single band of ~90-110 kDa from preparations of biotinylated alveolar macrophages, a result confirmed by Western blotting analysis of alveolar macrophage lysates under non reducing conditions. Aberrant expression of CD172a has been noted on porcine leukemias with blast cells co-expressing lymphocytic markers CD5 and CD25 whilst expressing the Myeloid marker CD172a in a bi-phenotypic pattern as opposed to the more characteristic single population of CD172+ cells seen in normal blood PBMC.

Mouse anti pig CD172a, clone BL1H7 has proved a useful and reliable tool for immunohistochemical analysis of routinely processed, formalin fixed, paraffin embedded porcine tissues.
