The Mouse/Human CD44 Monoclonal Antibody (IM7) is a versatile tool for researchers studying CD44, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. This highly pure antibody, produced from hybridoma cells, exhibits strong reactivity with both mouse and human CD44 proteins. Validated for multiple applications including flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry, it enables precise detection and characterization of CD44 expression in various cell types and tissues.CD44 plays a crucial role in processes such as lymphocyte homing, wound healing, and cancer metastasis, making it a key target of interest in diverse fields of research, from immunology to oncology.
By specifically binding to CD44, the IM7 antibody facilitates detailed analysis of this molecule's functions, aiding in the investigation of cell behavior, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic interventions. Researchers can leverage the IM7 antibody to deepen their understanding of CD44 biology and its implications in health and disease.

Background:
CD44 is a 80-95 kD glycoprotein also known as Hermes, Pgp1, H-CAM, or HUTCH. It is expressed on all leukocytes, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and mesenchymal cells. As B and T cells become activated or progress to the memory stage, CD44 expression increases from low or mid levels to high levels. Thus, CD44 has been reported to be a valuable marker for memory cell subsets. High CD44 expression on Treg cells has been associated with potent suppressive function via high production of IL-10. CD44 is an adhesion molecule involved in leukocyte attachment to and rolling on endothelial cells, homing to peripheral lymphoid organs and to the sites of inflammation, and leukocyte aggregation.
