The Human CD41 Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugated, HIP8) is a cutting-edge tool for researchers studying CD41, a key protein involved in platelet aggregation and blood clotting processes. This monoclonal antibody, conjugated with phycoerythrin (PE), offers high specificity and sensitivity for detecting CD41 in human samples, making it a valuable asset for flow cytometry and immunofluorescence experiments.CD41, also known as integrin alpha IIb, is essential for platelet function and hemostasis, playing a crucial role in the formation of blood clots.
Dysregulation of CD41 can lead to bleeding disorders or thrombotic events, highlighting its clinical relevance in conditions such as thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, and cardiovascular diseases. By utilizing the Human CD41 Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugated, HIP8), researchers can gain insights into the expression and localization of CD41 in various cell types and tissues, advancing our understanding of platelet biology and related pathologies.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

Background:
CD41 is a 125/25 kD α subunit of the gpIIb/IIIa (CD41/CD61) complex. CD41 is a heterodimer composed of a heavy chain (gpIIbα) and light chain (gpIIbβ) linked by a single disulfide bond. It is a member of the integrin family primarily expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. CD41 has been reported to be involved with platelet aggregation and platelet attachment to the ECM. CD41/CD61 complex acts as the receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin, Von Willebrand factor and thrombin.
