Properties

anti-rat CD44 (OX-49) monoclonal antibody recognizes rat CD44 (Pgp-1), also called CD44H. This antigen is expressed on most leukocytes (except a sub population of B cells) and increases upon activation. The OX-49 antibody binds extracellularly to the standard (S) form on rat leukocytes, but it is not known if they bind to the N-terminal region. It has also been reported that the antibody may bind to melanoma cell lines that express CD44V (splice variant form)
