| Description |
| The CD146 (LSEC) antibody (clone ME-9F1) recognizes the CD146 antigen, which is expressed on mouse endothelial cells, including liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), smooth muscle cells, and the basal membrane.1 LSECs are microvascular endothelial cells lining the hepatic sinusoidal wall. Their strategic positioning favors a tight interaction with lymphocytes migrating through the liver. They possess a high capacity for antigen uptake and processing. However, in contrast to professional antigen-presenting cells (e.g. dendritic cells), they express only low levels of costimulatory molecules.2 LSECs are supposed to mainly contribute to the control of immune responses against circulating soluble antigens in the liver. |
| Applications |
| The CD146 (LSEC) antibody can be used to identify and enumerate LSECs or other CD146+ cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. This antibody is suitable for MACS® Control applications. For further details, please refer to the data sheet of the separation reagent. |

| Mouse liver cells were stained with CD146 (LSEC) antibodies conjugated to FITC (A) or Biotin (B). Cells stained with CD146 (LSEC)-Biotin were also stained with Anti-Biotin-APC and analyzed by flow cytometry. |
