Description: The 1H6 monoclonal antibody reacts with canine CD34, also known as mucosialin. CD34 belongs to a protein family that also includes endoglycan and podocalyxin. These single-pass transmembrane proteins possess heavily glycosylated extracellular and N-terminal mucin domains. Similar to humans, canine CD34 can be detected on hematopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow, peripheral blood and hair follicle, as well as on some populations of mesenchymal stem cells, tumor cell lines, and on vascular endothelia in the adult. CD34 can be used as a marker to isolate cells capable of hematopoietic cell engraftment.
The 1H6 antibody has been reported to work for enriching CD34+ cells.
