Detailed product information

Background information

CD146 is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily and contains five extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains.
1,2
CD146 possesses a limited tissue expression distribution, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, pericytes, follicular dendritic cells, melanoma cells, and a subpopulation of activated T lymphocytes.

CD146

cells isolated from umbilical cord

, lipoaspirate

, are described to contain cells with clonogenic fibroblastic colony (CFU-F) activity and multilineage differentiation potential, which are often called mesenchymal or marrow stromal cells (MSCs).
CD146 functions as a Ca

-independent cell adhesion molecule, which is involved in heterophilic cell-cell interactions

. CD146 expression in melanoma is also directly associated with tumor growth and metastasis.

Applications

The CD146 MicroBead Kit can be used for:
  • isolation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from lipoaspirate and other tissue sources,
  • isolation of endothelial cells and pericytes from human endothelial tissue,
  • isolation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUCPVCs)4 from umbilical cord vein.
