BioMag® anti-Human CD IgG-coated particles are produced by covalently attaching murine monoclonal antibodies to BioMag® particles. The antibodies were prepared against human leukocyte differentiation antigens. Each product is supplied in phosphate buffered saline with EDTA and sodium azide added as stabilizers, and should be washed in sterile media prior to use to remove the preservative.
The CD56 antigen isoform is 140kDa and moderately expressed on a subpopulation of peripheral blood large granular lymphocytes, all cells with NK activity and by subsets of T lymphocytes. CD56 antibodies do not react with granulocytes, monocytes, or B cells.
