Specificity#: Mouse anti Human CD151 antibody, clone 11G5a recognizes the human CD151 cell surface antigen, also known as PETA-3. CD151 is expressed by epithelial cells, endothelial cells, platelets, megakaryocytes, monocytes and in the renal glomeruli and proximal and distal tubules. CD151 is not expressed by lymphocytes or granulocytes. More recently CD151 has also been shown to be expressed by erythrocytes, and to carry the MER2 blood group antigen (Crew et al. 2004).
It should be noted that CD151 is very closely associated with the alpha3 beta1 integrin in cells and co-immunoprecipitation may occur even in quite stringent conditions (Yauch. et al. 1998).
