آنتی‌ بادی CD138 (EP201)

Name:CD138 Antibody clone EP201

Description and applications: CD138, also known as Syndecan-1, is a member of the transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan family, acts as an extracellular matrix receptor and is involved in many cellular functions, including cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion. CD138 expression is found in both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. In the hematopoietic system, CD138 labels plasma cells. It is an excellent marker for plasmacytic differentiation within the spectrum of hematologic malignancy. It´s a very usefull tool in the diagnostic of chronic endometritis associated with infertility. Among nonhematolymphoid cells, CD138 reactivity is observed inmany types of epithelial cells and stoma cells in both normal and tumor tissues. These staining should
be remembered and not interpreted as unspecific.
