Specificity
Recognizes the CD36 antigen, an 88kD cell surface glycoprotein expressed by platelets and 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. Partially inhibits collagen induced platelet aggregation and macrophage ingestion of apoptotic human neutrophils. It has been reported that this may activate platelets as measured by fibrinogen binding, P-Selectin expression and Annexin V binding - for further details please contact our Technical Services team. This clone is also reported to block interaction of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OXLDL) with CD36. XXX recommend the use of MCA722XZ for this purpose.
