Anti-CD82 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com targets CD82, a tetraspanin-family membrane protein also known as KAI1. CD82 associates with integrins and other tetraspanins to regulate cell adhesion, migration, and intracellular signaling, and has been studied extensively as a metastasis suppressor in prostate and other epithelial cancers. The unconjugated antibody is supplied as 100 µl of polyclonal serum from a rabbit host, validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry on human tissue samples. Researchers commonly use this reagent to track CD82 expression in tumor sections, to immunoprecipitate tetraspanin-enriched microdomains from cell lysates, and to compare protein levels across normal and transformed cell lines. Storage at 4 degrees C in single-use aliquots helps preserve reactivity through repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
