Anti-CD36 Antibody [SMØ]

Mouse monoclonal [SMØ] antibody to CD36.

Human tonsil cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Supplied in Phosphate Buffered Saline.

Mouse anti Human CD36 antibody, clone SMØ recognizes the CD36 antigen, an ~ 88 kDa cell surface glycoprotein expressed by platelets, monocytes/macrophages and also by some microvascular endothelium and erythroid precursors.CD36 is the receptor for thrombospondin. When expressed by monocytes and macrophages, CD36 acts as a receptor for oxidized LDL and for apoptotic polymorphonuclear cells. Mouse anti Human CD36 antibody, clone SMØ partially inhibits collagen induced platelet aggregation and macrophage ingestion of apoptotic human neutrophils. It has been reported that this antibody may activate platelets as measured by fibrinogen binding, P-Selectin expression and Annexin V binding - for further details please contact our Technical Services team.Mouse anti Human CD36 antibody, clone SMØ is also reported to block interaction of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OXLDL) with CD36 (Sugihara et al.1992).
