CD146 MicroBead Kit, human

The CD146 MicroBead Kit was developed for the isolation of CD146

⁺

cells. The kit consists of CD146 MicroBeads and FcR Blocking Reagent. The CD146 MicroBeads recognize the human CD146 antigen, also known as MUC18, MCAM, Mel-CAM, and S-Endo-1.

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.

, 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

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.
