CD42d is an 83 kD surface glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with GPIb and GPIX to form a receptor complex for von Willebrand factor on megakaryocytes and resting platelets. Binding sites for von Willebrand factor and thrombin have been localized to the GPIba chain of the GPI-b-V-IX complex. Platelet activation with thrombin cleaves the GPI-b-V-IX complex to release a 69 kD soluble fragment. Presence of the GPI-b-V-IX complex is important in Bernard-Soulier syndrome, a rare bleeding disorder.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.25 microg per million cells in 100 microL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
* PerCP/Cy5.5 has a maximum absorption of 482 nm and a maximum emission of 690 nm.
