Relevance Monoclonal antibody directed at against Lewis X antigen, with use in differentiating between leukaemia’s and aids in the purification of stem cells.

Background and Research Application
Lewis X (CD15) is a branched pentasaccharide found on glycolipids, glycoproteins and proteoglycans of cells of gastric mucosa, nervous system, neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes. Lewis X is distributed abnormally in myeloid leukaemia’s and is commonly used in the diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease. Lewis X is believed to enhance cell adhesion, either directly or by promoting integrin activation. Cells with high surface expression of Lewis X antigen, display strong self-aggregation, based on calcium-dependent Lewis X-Lewis X interaction.

Anti-Lewis X (29) is useful for leukaemia typing and the purification of stem cells.
