CD24 is a highly glycosylated protein present on the cell surface. The protein is highly expressed in the tumor tissue and is responsible for the survival of cancer cells and tissues. The protein makes the cancer cell invisible at the immune checkpoints making the survival of cancer cells possible.
To confirm the role of CD24 in cancer, mutant cells with removed CD24 were treated with CD24 antibodies and macrophage cells. The cells were eaten by macrophages but were not affected by CD24 antibodies as no surface CD24 protein was present.
Application Of CD24 Antibody
CD24 is a negative marker for breast cancer stem cells while positive marker for ovarian, and pancreatic cancer cells. The CD24 antibody helps in the detection of normal and tumor cells. It identifies the CD24 antigen on the tumor sample and the breast cancer stem cell. Apart from that we have several different applications of CD24 antibodies.
CD24 Antibody And Adaptive Immune Response
CD24 are highly expressed in hematopoietic cells, such as B-cells, T-cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages and dendritic cells. The protein is highly expressed in metabolically active cells as compared to the differentiated cells. The CD24 antibody can help diagnose the role of CD24 in adaptive immune response. If the level of CD24 varies in the two types of cell, it is effectively detected by CD24 antibody. This procedure can be utilized in western blotting, and ELISA.
CD24 Antibody And Autoimmune Diseases
The over expression of CD24 in T-cells validate its role in autoimmune diseases. It means the CD24 deficient cell will have less immunity as compared to CD24 expressing cells.
CD24 Antibody And Cancer Cells
Due to the role of CD24 in cancer proliferation CD24 antibodies find its application in derivation and cultivation of human tumor cells from primary tumors. This can be used for creating stable cell lines from primary human tumor tissues.
CD24 Antibody And Cardiovascular Diseases
The differentiated human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into cardiomyocytes, isolation of cardiomyocytes and their analysis through flow cytometry or immunofluorescence microscopy. CD24 antibodies are effective in isolating cells without CD24 antigens as cells with CD24 antigen gets bound with the antibody.
CD24 Antibody And Pluripotent Stem Cells
The pluripotent stem cell workflow involves maintenance and cryopreservation of pluripotent stem cells and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. To get a high quality human pluripotent stem cell line, the right cell culture medium is required.
Cell To Cell Adhesion
As CD24 is a cell surface protein, it is quite effective in studying pathways involving cell-to-cell interaction. The CD24 antibody helps in identifying signaling pathways involving cell-to-cell adhesion.
Research Applications
Some of the research applications of CD24 antibodies are, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorometric, immunohistochemistry, western blot analysis. A single product does not qualify for all the above research areas. Several different types of antibodies are available with different applications. For example, CD24 monoclonal antibody Biotin can be used for human cells in flow cytometry analysis only. CD24 SN3 monoclonal antibody found its application in flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorometric, immunohistochemistry and western blotting.
