CD13 – MMab

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use

CD13 (also known as aminopeptidase-N) is expressed on the majority of peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes. It is also expressed by the majority of acute myeloid leukemias, chronic myeloid leukemias in myeloid blast crisis, a smaller percentage of lymphoid leukemias and myeloid cell lines. CD13 is absent from normal lymphocytes, platelets and erythrocytes. CD13 is also present on fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells from renal proximal tubules and intestinal brush border, bone marrow stromal cells, osteo-clasts, and cells forming bile canaliculi. Anti-Human CD13 recognizes the human CD13 antigen expressed on the majority of peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes and on endothelial cells. CD13 plays a role in biologically active peptide metabolism, in the control of growth and differentiation, in phagocytosis and in bactericidal/tumoricidal activities. CD13 also serves as a receptor for human coronaviruses (HCV)
