CD57 Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

CD57 (NK-1) recognizes an oligosaccharide (MW 100-110 kDa) antigenic determinant on myeloid cells and on a variety of polypeptides, lipids and chondroitan sulfate proteoglycans. This surface antigen is associated with myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG). The CD57 antigen is present on 15-20% of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. It is expressed on a subset of natural killer cells (60%) and on a subset of T-lymphocytes. This carbohydrate is also present on N-CAM in the nervous system. Follicular Center-cell Lymphomas often contain many NK cells within the neoplastic follicles. NK-1 reportedly also reacts with a variety of cell types in non-lymphoid tissues. NK-1 stains neuroendocrine cells and their tumors, including Carcinoid Tumor and Medulloblastomas. NK-1 also reacts with a variety of cell types in non-lymphoid tissues, including Neurofibroma, Ganglioneuroma, and Prostate Carcinoma.

Small volumes of anti-CD57 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
