This hybridoma line produces a rat anti-mouse CD44 monoclonal antibody (clone IM7.8.1).
CD44 is a glycoprotein that is ubiquitously expressed in most cells throughout the body and involved in cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and survival. It has been found to be up regulated in various types of cancer stem cells, such as those of the prostate, pancreas, brain, and blood. CD44 overexpression in cancer stem cells leads to high resistance to chemotherapy and radiation treatment and an increase in metastasis.
