Human CD133 is a117kd pentaspan transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by a subset of hematopoetic and other types of stem cells found in blood and a variety of tissues.Increased expression of CD133 may be a predictor of decreased prognosis in patients with metastatic cancer(3).
Isotype: Mouse IgG1k
Immunogen: WERI-Rb-1 retinoblastoma
Specificity: AntibodyANC9C5 recognizesepitope 1 ofhuman CD133(AC133) present on fulllength CD133 transfectants, Y-79retinoblastoma, and other cell types.
Functional Application: Antibody ANC9C5 has been used to image cancer stem cells in a coloncarcinoma xenograft (4).
